This interpretation is very interesting to me. Do you know of any other philosophical or scientific research into the relationship between computational complexity / reducibility and free will?

Stephen Wolfram's discussion of free will in his book A New Kind of Science is the most relevant:

Daniel Dennett's book Consciousness Explained comes at the problem from a similar angle.
