No, because you cannot operate faster than yourself.

the contrast between events would be so significantly extreme that by the time an exact calculation to the infinitesimal fraction of Pi is achieved, that very fraction will most definitely have changed to compensate for the calculation "having already taken place". so one cancels out the other.

The best you can ever hope to get is an immaculately accurate prediction within moments before or after its' taken place.

Pi is 3.14~ with an infinitely constructing decimal that does not repeat or loop. Found by seeking the circumference of a circle.

Phi is 1.61~ with an infinitely reoccurring decimal - however even though the decimal loops, it also constructs with every iteration of Phi.
Phi is derived by dividing two adjacent parts in its infinite sequence (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ~) thus making its decimal just as infinite as Pi, but a constantly and subtly changing decimal. every two numbers beyond 13 result in a consistent 1.61~

can you recite Phi? i can up to 17711!

So when it comes to predicting free will, you're pitting infinity versus infinity.

And its not a versus environment.
It's a cooperative mutual involvement which paints the picture. competition is an illusion.

Im gonna tell the universe to screw itself because I do what I want.
