Conclusion: We have no free will nor fate ;)

The alternative interpretation is that all particles in the universe have free will. ;)

At a bigger scale, they seem to act randomly, though.

But maybe if we could follow one particle in its everyday life, we see how it exercises its free will?

" If we have free will, so do subatomic particles, mathematicians claim to prove."

Heisenberg uncertainty principle prevents perfectly accurate measure of "physical state".
So, two brains as physically identical as possible will probably have (slightly) different outputs.

You are right about the definition but wrong about your conclusion. It is impossible to measure 2 brains and be sure they are physically identical.

But this does not mean 2 brains cannot be physically identical.

I really thought that Heisenberg was talking about the reality and not the measure.

I think I'm wrong on this one: A deterministic behavior would rule out free will.

Free will would be non-deterministic, by definition.

Revised conclusion: We have as much free will as our particles.

Still no fate, though ;)
