It’s an intriguing proposition and I commend you for trying it however I am wary there may be a danger that software like this may inadvertently spread misinformation even more if it uses sources derived from places like Twitter. We all know false stories spread like wild fire there. People dying who haven’t really. Etc.

It’s only relatively recently that humanity has discovered universal laws. I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t more to come.

Didn’t scientists recently discovered that some sub atomic particles displayed random movement behaviour that could suggest a diversion away from deterministic behaviour?

I agree with your thesis completely. However several things come to mind. You say that what happened before the big bang has no baring on determinism, which could be true. However, it’s not something that can be dismissed so quickly. Regardless of whether or not the human existence exists separately to whatever caused it’s existence via the Big Bang, and in accordance with its own set of universal laws, whatever brought the universe in existence is probably an occurrence of which we could not even ever comprehend. And therefore throws open many questions. Is there a god. Are there aliens. Are there superior intelligent machines. Did either of these three beings create us. Or does one choose to believe that the universe simply formed itself out of nothing. Gaseous substances simply materialised and formed life. And if we were brought into existence by either of these three scenarios, does that not change how we see free will and determinism. In that there are probably likely many new universal laws that we are not actually aware of yet. P and Q may well be false. We just haven’t made that discovery yet.

If determinism is true then what happened before the Big Bang. What caused or instigated the Big Bang in order to trigger the domino effect of the chaos theory. As equally those who believe in free will cannot prove it, neither can those who believe in determinism. And without evidence anything is possible. We didn’t even know what electricity was until recently, imagine how many other mind boggling things are yet to be discovered

I used to think that but not so much anymore. The illusion of free will can only be extrapolated back to the big bang. But what happened before that. What were the rules in place then. What caused the Big Bang where did it come from etc. also the laws we know about now like gravity and forces like electricity, we didn’t know about until recently. There will certainly be other laws we are yet to discover. Quantum mechanics etc
