The position on LW is generally that no such thing can exist

Where have you gotten that idea?

Your post seems confused. You seem to be striving to define free will in opposition to both randomness and determinism (so that something must be left over to be filled in by a "free will" component), but you don't indicate any reason why whatever you call "free will" should be opposed to determinism.

I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about compatibilist theories of free will, only the other kind. I should have made that clear.
