You're simply a victim of literal chaos. You're a ship adrift on an ocean with no engine, no oars, no sail, no rudder, and the ocean isn't even an ocean because the movement of water is defined by math so it's nothing more than an abstract nothingness where anything and everything are possible. There is no middle ground where free will is allowed to exist.
Well if it's complex and seemingly frivolous then clearly no math is involved.

I will concede that our brains are predictably wired to make decisions.
