he provides a model of necessary derivation of free will of collections of particles from free will of particles, he doesn't provide a model of free will at all; his fully baseless axiom of free will could rely on many-worlds or not, the question isn't asked

"could rely or not" reduces to "does not rely"

okay yeah but it doesn't reduce to "refutes"

"the only way" vs. "does not rely" -> refutation

enh nah because it isn't speaking to the question pomo's assertion addresses at all, a many-worlds-derived free will would slot into the model as well as any other kind

I thought I had made this clear, but let me try again: It is sufficient to show that Many Worlds is not a /necessary/ predicate of Free Will.

no, you've just kept saying it, but because Conway's model doesn't say anything at all about where its free will comes from, it cannot do that because it is completely disjoint from the question

It shows that any interpretation of QM can have free will at the quantum level. That the interpretation is orthogonal to the question of free will.

Replying to @djinnius @chaosprime and
OP claims that interpretation is /not/ orthogonal that it is compatible only with Many Worlds.

oh, i see the difficulty. you're just talking about different things. Conway's assertion that free will of collections of particles implies free will of particles holds under any QM interpretation. pomo is saying free will itself can only come from many-worlds

it's like if one person is saying "liquids conform to the shape of any container that holds them" and another is saying "liquids can only be poured into cylinders". the truth of these things looks related but isn't

Yes you do need a trivial third observation: "there exist non-cylindrical containers"
