I’ve read Schopenhauer but this is not complete in my view. He actually advocates for the will as a transcendental, escaping this dilemma.
I have been working on this quite a bit, maybe I can publish it.
One challenge with your approach is that decisions are frequently (if not always) multi-causal in origin, and the balance of influence of causation must be something we can weight in real time.
The bigger basic structural idea is that closures escape causal chains, and freewill is essentially what happens within a (specific type of) causation closure.
A further problem is attempting to enclose and limit reality within logic, which we know to be a finite rule system and subject to specific limitations as such.
Further, your same argument could be used to support the idea that causation doesn’t exist.
