If “produced” and “authored” are synonyms, then authorship has lost its meaning. To produce something is merely to be a causal link in a chain — an effect of prior causes producing further effects. To author something implies origination, agency, and the genuine possibility of having done otherwise.
If your decisions are “produced” by the same physical laws and prior brain states that produce every other event in the universe, then you aren’t authoring anything — you are being authored by the system. You are the page, not the writer. Calling that “free will” is just renaming determinism to make it feel personal.
So no, I’m not “describing free will”; I’m describing a mechanistic unfolding that your position collapses into. You’ve equated the machinery of compulsion with the experience of choice, and in doing so, you’ve conceded that what you call “will” is merely a point of observation within causality, not a free origin of it.
