Following Gödel's incompletness theorem, I would argue that an agent cannot have a complete axiomatic model of itself while being able to prove its own consistency meaning that an agent cannot exhibit free will if the system is relying on computation to perform actions.

The other way around: you have control (observe/model/act), while atoms in motion are unguided. Moreover, you are Turing complete, so from the begin state we could not even in principle compute what you’d do, unless we simulate you in full fidelity, awareness, control and all.

Sounds wise. But nobody 2 will know

It’s where you get once you repair all the inconsistent assumptions hidden in the original question (especially about the concepts of existence, freedom and will, and the implications for observation, mind and agency).

I think that at this moment we cannot make progress because we have not much idea what does ”regulating” means, ie which mechanism(s) stands behind it.

What about the larger picture where the model creation itself is bounded by external factors in the systems environment and to what extent do these external factors influence model creation.

This is pretty close to David Velleman's formulation in Practical Reflection

Wouldn’t that be the question of whether free will *can* exist rather than whether it does? If so, is that distinction useful?

Would that mean evolution isn’t random?

What if randomness was deterministic? :-) Because Pascal's triangle perfectly describes such a system. If all possible patterns of matter and energy (contraction and expansion of reality) happen, fractally, we'd only be aware of our local path, and it would seem unpredictable.
