A new argument suggests that quantum mechanics may be more deterministic than previously thought, reigniting the debate on the relationship between physics and free will. The discussion centres around whether the indeterminacy at the quantum level leaves room for free will or if the universe is fundamentally deterministic.

New updated #introduction / pinned:
The "Starship Schrödinger's Destiny" is an #interactive #vr #scifi #story about the crew of a #flyingsaucer
The story is about #manyworlds and we love the title because it's a contradiction: There can be no single destiny in a Schrödinger multiverse, all outcomes all happen with varying amplitudes.
And yet it is more #deterministic to have those amplitudes, than to just be selecting outcomes randomly. There is also a sense in which we are all destined to see all outcomes.
We are looking forward to building this choose-your-own-adventure in a multiverse setting, because there are so many ways in which all the choose-your-own-adventure style books demonstrate a multiverse too. All the possible outcomes existing all at once, but read with varying amplitudes.
But it's not just our story: The engine we are building to let us tell our story will be open for others to enact their own. To puppet the characters themselves, tell their own story. In a multiverse, all things can happen.
That's the plan anyway. Very early still. V0.3 took like four years. Hoping V0.4 will be quicker, but I seem to have decided it's time for the complete-rewrite, so. Ugh.
But there are milestone-movies along the way:
V0.1 saw our story "Forgettery".
https://starshipsd.com/pre/forgettery/
V0.2 was entitled "Eggs"
https://starshipsd.com/pre/eggs/
V0.3 was entitled "Payment"
https://starshipsd.com/pre/payment/
V0.3 is a massive leap forwards, which is why it has taken so very very long, and the coming V0.4 I hope will be basically feature-complete and written so I can share as much of the source as possible.
In the meantime, we have a side-story about aliens discovering a planet on the brink of economic and environmental collapse! Lots of shorts here:
