Hm. But what if that's the nature of a decision itself? That it is only exists when viewed as a black box? For a cell, I can see it migrate in one direction, then another. However, through investigation I might find that it was due to a chemogradient that potentiated actin polymerization on one side of the cell, etc. Human decisions might be more complex, but are of the same stuff. In that sense, an organism is in the eye of the beholder.
