Let me see if I can understand this.

One can make a choice out of free will. That much is up to the individual. But as each choice leads down a pre-determined path it is destiny at work. The path, by having a set outcome, is not therefore the result of true free will, the free will in all instances being false.

The illusion of being able to infuence the outcome must also be false as any paths taken lead to another set conclusion.

Do I interpret this correctly to say you see us in a maze? The paths appear to us to be available as indeed they are, but in the bigger picture they all lead to a place that has been set.

In other words this is a take on the multiverse theory, with an infinity of outcomes all set by destiny?
