The Libertarian / Compatibilist Impasse
Libertarians require agency to escape the causal order; compatibilists locate agency within it — neither position fully satisfies the intuitions that drive the debate.
What the system says
The impasse is dissolved by specifying what genuine agency requires structurally: the three-layer causa sui structure, which is neither incompatible with causation nor reducible to it.
The system addresses this phenomenon by locating it within the broader structural account. The apparatus of worldframes, monadic inhabitation, and the disclosive/structural distinction provides the conceptual resources needed to dissolve or resolve the puzzle rather than simply describe it.
Existing positions in the literature
Standard approaches to this phenomenon in the philosophical and scientific literature face characteristic difficulties. The system's account does not simply choose among these positions but provides a structural diagnosis of why each fails and what a satisfactory account would require.
