Inner Speech, Self-Regulation, and the Modular-with-Feedback Theory of Free Will

Published: May 12, 2025

This paper demonstrates a synergy between the Inner Speech model of free will and Modular-with-Feedback Theory. The first section examines determinism causation to argue that requires ability an agent make non-deterministic choice, which could have been decided otherwise. in spite physical, hereditary environmental ad hoc factors inevitably influence choice. Section two introduces Theory proposes be compatible, not with determinism, but chance. It provides how emerges from oscillating neuronal activity neural modules. These, representing ideas, oscillate subconsciously, competing for conscious attention. Although choice them is partly random modules are able maintain sense context consistency; leading desire character. Learning experience, we use feedback rebalance. Conscious decisions, using inner speech, train subconscious advance, future, options better conforming our desired will. three discusses consciousness non-deterministically manner consistent causally interactive dualism is, at hidden level, monist. four explains speech self-regulates behavior by talking us through free, usually choices, conferring moral responsibility. Some abnormalities diminishing discussed, further research programs proposed.
