I will (freely) suggest to both of you to read up on Conway's Strong Free Will Theorem.

-
oh, i have no investment in that position and don't think it's the case, but Conway here doesn't refute it either, in the whole thing free will is just a black box hypothetical causal phenomenon whose provenance isn't raised as a question
-
Conway explicitly provides a model of free will which doesn't rely on Many Worlds.
-
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
-
As the person who brought up many worlds in the first place. It's not necessary for a "Non deterministic universe" but is necessary for the chaos of quantum mechanics to contain something humans would recognize as choice.
-
If human beings have any choice in an inherently chaotic universe, it's because we chose which timelines to passively observe. In a non chaotic universe, nothing resembling free will can possibly exist.

The development of both quantum mechanics and the relativities was predicated on better axioms.
