I agree with you that an arbitrary decision cannot be either random or the consequence of an explicit rule or law. Hence an arbitrary choice is indeed freely willed, by convention. What I do not see, however, is how this can have any metaphysical implications for particular agents, whose performance against these criteria can only ever be evaluated to some limit. If this is a problem for mathematicians or mathematics, AFAICS it is an unavoidable one. David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
