Consider
for a minute the nature of free choices. Say that God has created
1000 pre-determined paths and that you, as a kind of intelligent
pinball, can roll along any of the paths. If one has conditional
freedom, the degrees of freedom are those that one may choose. What
number of choices would make one free? What if one were very dumb yet
free and could never think of more than one or two things to do?
Would free will be limited by that individual or His creator?
Can
one be said to be free if one is restricted to being subject to a
gravitational field that draws one toward mass? Can a human being in
a steady state of mass that is generally made of decohered quantum
wave-particle strings from a coherent field of all possible world
lines be said to be free? To be is to be in a solid state mass of
strings downloaded into particle-waves and a solid-state of matter.
Matter exists because of symmetry breaking of all potential locations
of coherent particles. Observations of quanta brings symmetry
breaking.
The
entire symmetry breaking of the Universe that becomes mass could be a
result of the observation in the mind of God of quanta that became
decohered by design. Is one free then knowing that an eternal
coherent quantum field of all possible decoherent forms that fall
into space-time thermodynamics, or not? That is the question, much
less than those of what the mechanics are of the coherent quantum
field that hasn't dimensions and time.
