How Free Will Could Will    [PDF]

George Svetlichny

Many have proposed that free will would use quantum indeterminism. Strict
adherence to the Born rule, which follows from the no-signal condition, seems
to block this possibility. I propose here that if state collapse really does
occur then there is a further form of indeterminism occurring in multipartite
systems in that the basis upon which the collapse is to occur could be
ambiguous. The choice of this basis is not covered by quantum mechanics nor
subject to probability constraints and this provides a ground for a physical
and eventually a mathematical model of free will.
