Ontological free will as incompressible information adjunction: A noncomputability boundary beyond P versus NP
We study a conditional model of ontological free will in which a pre-act state structures several coherent global continuations without intrinsically distinguishing one as the future actualisation. The topos-theoretic component is formalised by a choice sheaf and by the action of automorphisms preserving the pre-act data: the absence of a fixed point rules out any natural equivariant selection. An act changes an unpointed object into a pointed one and reduces its symmetry group to a stabiliser. Independently, a causal algorithmic incompressibility axiom imposes nearly maximal online description complexity on the actual choices. Uniformly observable post-act traces then allow their reconstruction. We prove a conditional transfer result: such traces must carry asymptotically all the singularisation information unavailable in the pre-act regime, and no uniform Turing predictor computes the choices from causal histories alone. The formalism proves neither that human beings satisfy the model nor a separation of P from NP; it identifies a boundary at which prediction concerns the existence of a computable function rather than its time complexity.
