If a perfectly free will or soul should be described scientifically or mathematically it would be described as a function with no predictable outcome, in the same way as quantum particle behaviour is described.
this randomness of particles on a quantum level doesn't necessarily mean that everything is perfectly random (as you can observe in the persistence of form in most material things) - the more dice you throw the more predictable is the outcome.
Quantum physics is actually the saviour of free will, because in a perfectly >>scientifically<< predictable and mechanical universe there is no room for free will, but in a quantum world there is.
I like the bagatelle a lot. Always nice to hear someone take the Dallapiccola perspective on atonalism, rather than Webern.
