No. I was making a metaphor. Sorry that wasn't clear.The topic of free will is plagued by confusion because terminology isn't clearly defined. IMO the topic is extremely simple: consciousness resides only in the brain, which is a physical apparatus; and physical things always and only operate in a deterministic manner.Even so, that part of us that produces the ILLUSION of free will can be DEVELOPED--to have an ever deeper and more complex understanding and interaction with reality. As that development happens, one can have an ever increasing feeling of a WIDER FIELD OF ACTION in reality. Speaking in terms of the illusion of free will, one could call that development an increase, or growth, of "free will."
