Determinism
Kedaman
Determinism doesn't apply simon, if you make your choises, if it's you and only you able to operate information, nothing will happen unless you say so.
How can you make choices if time is flowing along an innevitable path that cannot be changed? Determinism implies every set of events is casued completely by those that preceeded them. There is no room for manover. No room for choosing. There is nothing to choose from, only a predetermined sequence of events.
Randomness is odd, how can there suddenly be information out of nowhere?
You exist don't you? Where did you come from. Were you always here or did you spontaneously appear from nothing?
I don't see the logic in this simon, or do you just implicate the coexistance of that ability?
A Probabalistic universe gives us options. An array of outcomes are possible from a given starting point. We cannot say (with absolute certainty) which of those outcomes will occur. We can only give probabilities and then one will be randomly selected based on those probabilities.
This may allow for free will if we are (sometimes) able to choose which of the outcomes we "live out".
Everything I say is either loose interpretation of dubious facts or idle speculation rooted in irrational sentiment.
