what if math is actually the problem and our current mathematical frameworks are the limiting factor in solving contradictory theories in physics? no single mathematical framework can capture all truths. this can lead us to dead ends of we can't find a new one. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/

This implies that there is a God and a spirit realm. Not all of the world is logically reducible.

I’m not sure how it implies that, but in terms of logic, logic is a function of neural patterns predictably interpreting stimulation, so if we’re talking about any part of the world that is perceptible (affects one’s nerves & brain), then it follows some logic by definition, even if we haven’t understood it yet

conversely, the claim of free will is also the claim that our neural patterns exist outside the finite logic of their biological substrate as stimulated by a finite environment. what's the differential for free will as a phenomenon beyond sentiment? can that be empirical?
