> the weather > wavefunction Which of these are commonly accepted (or even argued by a sizable minority) to have free will in a metaphysical sense? > Figuring out which bucket human beings fall in to is a legitimate question. That may be true, but it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with the ill-defined notion of "free will". I'm also not familiar with anyone who views human behavior to be anything like a collapsing wave form so I'm not entirely sure this is a "legitimate" question since I'm not sure there is any evidence or support for the one side of the argument (though I'm always up for pointers to arguments about this).

>Which of these are commonly accepted (or even argued by a sizable minority) to have free will in a metaphysical sense? Of the two that would be the wave functions, some of which are people, and people are what's argued to have free will. >That may be true, but it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with the ill-defined notion of "free will". Nondeterminism in physics is the space that free will is allowed to fill, and if there was none, there would be no room for free will. >I'm also not familiar with anyone who views human behavior to be anything like a collapsing wave form Human beings are physical systems, quite chaotic at that. It is possible that deep inside your brain, decisions turn on molecular events that are uncertain due to quantum mechanics. Evidence for free will? Not really, but it's a hole in determinism that makes false the statement, "physics leaves no room for free will."
