A difference of predictions between Maksym’s proposed answer and mine occurs to me. If the sense of free will comes from not being able to model one’s own decision process, rather than from taking the intentional stance towards people but not other things, then I would think that each individual would tend to think that she has free will, but other people don’t. Since this is not the default view, my answer must be wrong or very incomplete.
