In the analogy of host and guest, what is also called consciousness is the host which means it responds through representations which it creates from within itself and so is a doing, hence a willing and hence, no matter how constrained must be free, or be freedom itself. And again what is the guest, what could it ever be but a host in an unwonted role. What characterises it is not correlative qualia which are systematisable objectives of a read-to-hand kind of being, but freedom which is a thoroughly paradoxical concept that cannot be subsumed in any system. Arguments against freedom, when they are not the usual stupid ones against 'fee-will' ought to be no more than refutations of their premises.
