Yeah it needs to be better defined. You do have free will but that doesn't mean it's not subject to the limitations of the system in which u exist.

U can't decide to jump off the planet cuz gravity will pull u back down but that doesn't mean u don't have free will.

In my mind if you didn't have free will you wouldn't have any control over your body at all.

If you can move within the system unfettered to any extent then you have free will. Any reduction in movement is considered entropy within that system.
