Since the state of all particles in the universe determines the next state, I'd say likely there's no free will.
But I don't stress about it.

Yeah, I'd say that's about right - seeking will in the "ordinance", or the study of pseudo-minutia is futile, philosophically.
Particles are not some "fundamental thing". They are not even real in any non-idealistic sense. To couple the idea of free will with their arrangement, which is merely "spacetime coordination" of **entities**, misses the entire point. The entities are doing the willing and the restricting of will, not just the physicists and their instruments and the media overlords pushing their scientistic agenda.
