[FRIAM] The entropy of thought

means to identify the forces that reduce our "entropy of thought", and thereby 
our freedom of choice, correct? For example in the case of addiction the 
entropy of thought is reduced to 0, because the addict is only able to think 
of one thing, the object of desire, and one action, to get more of it. In this 
sense free will would mean a high entropy of thought.  >


Consistent with a deterministic system.   With lots of cores and memory, many 
hypotheses can be considered at once. Thus George has free will.
