But just the fact we can have discussions about free will seems to imply we have it and are more than just an awareness being driven by groups of atoms, albeit evolved atoms in the form of molecules and cells etc.
Which if true seems to imply awareness (or should I say consciousness as the latter to my understanding includes having free will where the former does not) isn‘t emergent from relational processes as a function of sensory input and internal processing which brings me back to the question in my original post.

Unless of course consciousness is a spiritual phenomenon.
