The notion of "drive" or "will" is not clearly defined. Thus,
I don't see any ground for discussion. For example, pressure
is a statistical consequence of molecule collisions with the wall.
But the same pressure can be interpreted as a will of the gas to
expand. I don't see any contradiction here. These are just 2
interpretations of the same phenomenon, one of which considers the
mechanism and the other does not. The second interpretation
may be useful for practical purposes but the first gives more
information, and thus it is preferred.
I disagree that "will" is located in those areas that are not
described by science (singularities).
Can you give me the reference to the book of Gould? His idea is
nice (actually, I reinvented it myself).
