Does free will presumes the idea that I am separate from the universe?

No
No?
Yeah.
Why?
You're not seperate from the God just because you have free will.
If you are connected to God, how do you rule out the possibility that God is pulling your strings?
You're negating your premise
Yes, it’s a proof by negation that failed.
Glad I could help.
No that didn’t help 😂 I meant your answer of “no” failed to complete the proof.
Well pull up your big boy pants, cmon now, I cant do your homework for you.
It is my homework, but that’s your answer. I am saying it’s incomplete.
I don't think so. Just that you have choices. You could be the menu part that makes choices in a program that is a world, not necessarily a separate program
free will means you are an actor instead of an object. you are both responsible and to blame for your actions. it means you are not subject to the action-reaction paradigm.
so i would answer yes, depending on what you mean by universe. You are still included in the universe of "everything", but you would be claiming to be more than a "mere" thing.
Think of a river:
You can build levees to redirect its flow (prevention).
But the river doesn’t “choose” to change course. Its path is determined by the levees, terrain, and rainfall.
Likewise, humans don’t freely choose; their decisions are shaped by interventions and circumstances.
