Eray: I agree with what you included (to some degree or another). What if we said that the agent must be an "Active" explorer of its environment? In other...

Hi Eray & all, I think that "free will" can be defined easier (with less conceptual baggage): Will is (similiar as you wrote) the ability to NOT do something...
