Free will exists in a deterministic universe because intent/observation functions as a measuring device (for example to intend something is to visualize its present state and compare it with an idealized state, the process of comparing essentially performs a measurement.), which collapses the Standing wave to form the most likely probability which includes the measuremnt.
The process of a "measurement" collapsing a wave form may be incompletely described. Semantically, it may not be the measurement that causes the collapse but what the measurement represents, which, to put it another way, converts an idea to kinetic energy and vice versa. The thought itself may have kinetic energy or it may require neurons and muscles-tendons to move physical things around, which pushes the cosmos to rearrange the standing wave to manifest a different outcome than the universe without the movement. As far as I know, Dirk Gently never said this but he'd probably approve.
There's no reason why a wave form has to just manifest through a couple of slits. It could just as well be a standing wave vibrating through the entire 3 (or more)D universe constantly everywhere and it'll continue to do so till something physical reconfigures it, like a slit or photon detector for an attosecond till it finds a new equilibrium. The quantum field might be the way atoms arrange themselves in a completely interconnected universe. Whenever something moves, the rest of the universe adjusts to accommodate.
I don't think I'm done with this, but time will tell.
