Then please define what you mean by freewill.

No. I don't think so. What is the problem? Classical causality = the law of cause and effect. When we apply this to the mind we have cause = freewill ..... effect = fate ...... in otherwords we have freewill how we react to our fate, which in turn will create another effect/fate and freewill how we react to it and so on ..... freewill and fate are two sides of the same coin of cause and effect.

Please define this "freewill" that is the cause. What causes it; how is it determined; what process produces it?

Now there is no problem here either with the conscious/freewill mind being a casual mind and the subconscious mind being the habitual effects of the conscious mind.

There is a big problem: You have not defined what you mean by freewill.
Only in your own mind.
Do you understand that you have not defined freewill?
