Reactions - such as your biker and dog - have nothing to do with heart or free will. They have everything to do with subconscious thought and determinism.

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh
Written by: FireTomNo animal would instinctively climb a tree to escape fire. That would be unimaginably stupid and would never become instinct. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say here since the higher brain functions which are utilised in place of instinct are still themselves deterministic.
Then take a different one: Fire in a house... people would instinctively try to escape by running "up the trees" - which will lead to entrapment - and ultimately death. (This way of) Escape is a programmed (sub-)conscious reaction. If you cannot override your "instincts" at the appropriate time, you will not be fit for survival in an artificial world...

Question: In cases of emergency - are there only "deterministic processes" running in the brain? What is a "gut"-(re)action, what is an " intuitive " (re)action?... Where does this come from? What is subconsciousness?

In emergentist or generative philosophy of cognitive sciences and evolutionary psychology, free will is the generation of infinite behaviour from the interaction of finite-deterministic set of rules and parameters. Thus the unpredictability of the emerging behaviour from deterministic processes leads to a perception of free will, though free will as an ontological entity does not exist.

Perhaps the discussion would be easier is we were to used different words for the different definitions of free-will. It seems to be leading to a lot of confusion.

However it is also possible to argue with OWD's definition as well. I'll try and find the source if anyone requests it but there is evidence which points to disicions being made before they enter the conscious mind.

this just in on newscientist/slashdot: the answer to all the questions posted here --
yes there is free-conscious-will that can influence decisions, but it sucks at decision making. much better decisions are made after informed sleep consolidation.
