The free will theorem states: Given the axioms, if the choice about what measurement to take is not a function of the information accessible to the experimenters (free will assumption), then the results of the measurements cannot be determined by anything previous to the experiments. That is an "outcome open" theorem:
Stone's theorem on one-parameter unitary groups (functional analysis) Stone–Tukey theorem ; Stone–von Neumann theorem (functional analysis, representation theory of the Heisenberg group, quantum mechanics) Stone–Weierstrass theorem (functional analysis) Strassmann's theorem (field theory) Strong perfect graph theorem (graph theory)
These questions predate the early Greek stoics (for example, Chrysippus), and some modern philosophers lament the lack of progress over all these centuries. [11] [12] On one hand, humans have a strong sense of freedom, which leads them to believe that they have free will. [13] [14] On the other hand, an intuitive feeling of free will could be ...

The neuroscience of free will encompasses two main fields of study: volition and agency. Volition, the study of voluntary actions, is difficult to define. [citation needed] If human actions are considered as lying along a spectrum based on conscious involvement in initiating the actions, then reflexes would be on one end, and fully voluntary actions would be on the other.

Free will in antiquity is a philosophical and theological concept. Free will in antiquity was not discussed in the same terms as used in the modern free will debates, but historians of the problem have speculated who exactly was first to take positions as determinist, libertarian, and compatibilist in antiquity. [1]
The "non-free will" is mythology; in real life it is only a question of strong and weak will. [ 10 ] Nothing is (or can be) fully resistant to stimuli, for that would mean it is immutable: whereas nothing in this world is or can be immutable. [ 13 ]
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 ...
