[MD] Free Will

[MarshaV]

"To the extent that one's behavior is 
controlled by static patterns of quality it is without choice. But to the extent 
that one follows Dynamic Quality, which is undefinable, one's behavior is free."   
     (LILA, Chapter 12) 


Here's a way to look at it:  'To the extent that one's behavior is controlled by the freewill (a static pattern of value) it is without choice.  But to the extent that one follows Dynamic Quality, which is undefinable, one's behavior is free.'   
 

But there is also this:

"In a subject-object classification of the world, Quality is in the same situation as that platypus. Because they can't classify it the experts have claimed there is something wrong with it.  And Quality isn't the only such platypus. Subject-object metaphysics is characterized by herds of huge, dominating, monster platypi. The problems of free will versus determinism, of the relation of mind to matter, of the discontinuity of matter at the sub-atomic level, of the apparent purposelessness of the universe and the life within it are all monster platypi created by the subject-object metaphysics..."
      (LILA, Chapter 8)
