Tonight’s Interlude IV of The Observable Unknown traces the living tension between free will, agency, and the brain’s hidden predictive machinery. Drawing on Libet’s timing experiments, Wegner’s critique, Friston’s predictive-processing, the comparator model, and mirror-neuron research, this episode shows how agency is constructed across layered neural processes: pre-reflective feeling, reflective judgment, and social resonance. We explore the veto as a final sanctuary for conscious intervention, attention’s role as a spotlight, and perception as controlled prediction. Poetic yet practical, the piece invites listeners to reimagine freedom as a skillful, trainable practice rather than absolute sovereignty - urging conversation, curiosity, and compassionate self-reconstruction.
