English term or phrase: clockwork mechanism
non so trovare il termine adatto: non va ovviam meccanismo a orologeria, né meccanismo d'un orologio...

The big problem with Superdeterminism is philosophical. It requires that science is an act of self-delusion, because all the atoms of the universe are linked in a way that destroys human free will. You’re not free to choose how to tweak the emitter because the atoms in the neurons of your brain are also subject to those hidden threads. And, by extrapolation, scientists are not freely choosing the tasks they perform. We are just a part of the complex clockwork mechanism of subatomic physics. Think of yourself as a cog, with teeth that are enmeshed with those of another cog. If that cog turns, can you choose not to?

meccanismo simile a quello di un orologio


Explanation:
Ciao Benedetta. Perché la menzione dell'orologio non sarebbe corretta? Anzi, in questa frase e visto il contesto del brano, io la vedo indispensabile:

"...complesso meccanismo della fisica subatomica, simile a quello di un orologio".

Oppure:

"che somiglia a quello di un orologio / come in un orologio / negli ingranaggi di un orologio"

Cioè, dato che poco dopo parla proprio di ingranaggi che devono girare obbligatoriamente, non vedrei paragone più adeguato.

complesso sistema di ingranaggi


Explanation:
Altra idea. La metafora dell'orologio meccanico rimanda agli ingranaggi, le rotelline che girano all'unisono.
