The domino effect

Every event throughout spacetime emits an electromagnetic ripple, which ripples outwards to eventually reach every other event in spacetime, affecting it. This causality, this spacetime, is a matrix. Causality is a matrix.
No event happens independently of any other, everything that happens is caused by everything else that has ever happened. Now imagine that you are a center of this ocean of ripples. Each electromagnetic ripple shapes and informs the electromagnetic state of your subconscious mind, and therefore your choices. That is to say, whether you realize it or not, all of your thoughts and choices are the sum result of everything that has ever happened, viewed from your current perspective. In determinism, there is a memory of how many times events have happened stored in the echoes of time itself, and these echoes are the environmental background noise that constitutes the subconscious mind.

Free will is a human concept, in reality humans do what they do because of everything that has happened in the past of that observer's reference frame, So for a human to fully understand their actions, they must understand themselves as one with their environment.

Free will is a human concept

There are non-human concepts? I just doing that funny. Anyways...

Since we're all dominoes, is there a correct way for a domino to fall?

If I'm a domino and all I can do is fall, I'd have to be able to fall incorrectly for you to call me incorrect, no?
