    [23] [24] [25] The weak conjecture is implied by the strong conjecture, as if n − 3 is a sum of two primes, then n is a sum of three primes. However, the converse implication and thus the strong Goldbach conjecture would remain unproven if Helfgott's proof is correct.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_free_will

    [2] Other means of reconciling God's omniscience with human free will have been proposed. Some have attempted to redefine or reconceptualize free will: God can know in advance what I will do, because free will is to be understood only as freedom from coercion, and anything further is an illusion.

    The problem of free will has been identified in ancient Greek philosophical literature. The notion of compatibilist free will has been attributed to both Aristotle (4th century BCE) and Epictetus (1st century CE): "it was the fact that nothing hindered us from doing or choosing something that made us have control over them".

  7. Talk:Free will theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Free_will_theorem

    The free will theorem says that if we have free will, then particles must have free will. This presumably is counterintuitive. It makes no claim about a world in which we don't have free will (a deterministic world). There's no way to argue for free will on the basis of this theorem - and yet, this is what the section claims, without any ...

    They are called the strong law of large numbers and the weak law of large numbers.

Lebesgue integrable random variables with expected value E(X 1) = E(X 2) = ... = μ, both versions of the law state that the sample average

    Jewish philosophy stresses that free will is a product of the intrinsic human soul, using the word neshama (from the Hebrew root n.sh.m. or .נ.ש.מ meaning "breath"), but the ability to make a free choice is through Yechida (from Hebrew word "yachid", יחיד, singular), the part of the soul that is united with God, [citation needed] the only being that is not hindered by or dependent on ...
