[MD] Freedom within structure.

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Steve,

I am not sure how you define the word "choose".  Animals in rut exhibit
behavior patterns that follow instinct.

I am exploring whether evolution is a form of choice or levels in existence?
In instinctive behavior, how is 'capacity to choose' modified?  I prefer
'levels in existence' are without choice, and behavior from will is
different from a similar behavior from instinct.  But that is a sticky
statement in the description of the actions of a being that has choice and
instinct.
