When the floor was opened for questions, one member of the
audience questioned Dr Conway's use of the term "Free
Will". She asked whether Dr Conway was "confusing
randomness and free will".
In a passionate reply, Dr Conway said that what he
had shown, with mathematical precision, that if a
given property was exhibited by an experimenter than
that same property was exhibited by particles. He had
been careful when constructing his theorem to use the same
term "free will" in the antecedent and consequent of his
theorem. He said he did not really care what people chose
to call it. Some people choose to call it "free will" only
when there is some judgment involved. He said he felt that
"free will" was freer if it was unhampered by judgment -
that it was almost a whim. "If you don't like the term Free
Will, call it Free Whim - this is the Free Whim Theorem".
The article does not make clear how "free choice" is different from "random chance" -- at least not to me.
