it 100% does, though. souls are the origin of causality.

that may actually be the case but now we either have souls that have causes or souls that don't have causes so all we've accomplished is to push the original situation into a spooky corner where we can more easily ignore it

that's homeomorphic to solving the problem.

or, less shitpostily, souls are *partially deterministic,* emerging from specific patterning of massenergy but able to act acausally upon massenergy.

that's very unlikely, but even if we got all the way to acausality, literally things happening for no reason, that's not any more anybody's idea of free will than strong determinism is

the reason is "the soul wants to," that's not acausal, that's literally an expression of will as the cause.

either the soul wants to for a reason, in which case determinism, or the soul wants to for no reason, in which case acausality, neither of which is free will

reasons aren't determinism any more than "because this is my will" is acausal, though.

"for a reason" in the causality sense, not the self-narrativization sense if there's an alternative to the soul's wants, or the person's because there is actually no necessity to be talking about souls here at all, being either caused or uncaused i'd love to hear about it

okay. to me, that sort of thing is for rolling up the sleeves and altering the world time, not for trying to understand what the fuck is actually going on time

Fair; not the way I'd handle it, but understandable.
