The ability to trace events and their causes supports the idea that things happen due to prior events and actions. This goes against free will because tracing back a selection of actions done by a person should reveal that he\she only thought they were making conscious decisions. But, in the reality they were influenced by prior events and not their complete and uninfluenced will .

Now- tracing back a certain action far enough can get tricky- as the number of influencing factors exponentially increase the more steps are taken back- All of these factors weave together to provide a full description of a person's life, and the surrounding lives that were influences by that person. So in a way, conscious beings all share a similar platform that yet remains undefined.
