Assuming we use wiki definitions, the relevant observations are:
1. There is a chain of prior occurrences which causally determine each event.
2. An event cannot occur in absolute isolation because every event interacts with its environment for it to *be* an event.
3. Causal basis for events can be traced to natural forces such as gravity, entropy etc. calculated out to the edge of a field of reference.
4. As a system becomes more complex through the interaction of sub-systems and the root causes progressively more lengthy to detect and subject to mis-interpretation. Further, instruments to detect events and root causes begin to influence the subjects they detect - even in simple cases such as magnetism.
5. Cognition and will are events that occur in brain - or brain-like - physical systems.
Therefore:
For free will - the capacity for a human being to make a free choice - to be true one of those observations have to be false. I'll try and steelman them for example, by all means provide your own:
