[MD] Free Will

[david buchanan]

MarshaV said to Steve:
 Isn't free will dependent on causation, and isn't causation, in the MoQ, an explanatory extension of a pattern?


Marsha later added:
 It was a rhetorical question.  I mean causation is pattern, regularities, convention.   Explanation relies on patterns.  Patterns are explained by referring to further patterns.  Patterns (analogies) all the way down.

Word salad, anyone? 

When we're making meaningful sentences the order of the ingredients is crucial. That's why we put words in neat rows. When we're tossing a salad, on the other hand, we want the various elements to be randomly distributed in a mixed jumble. Fruit salad I like. Your sentences, not so much.
