The original poster introduces what free will means.
1) Every choice which is allowed in physics is a random choice or a determinate

2) If human free will choice exists, it is agreed that it is not determined by some

3)We have agfeed that the choice of "an arbitrary element" is not a random chaice and
is not a choice determinate by some law.
We haven't even agreed that it is a choice. It's just using a function, as in (. is an
element of X) so (x is an element of X)->true and (y is an element of X)->false. (all
x |x an element of X) doesn't involve choosing an element x, just specifying a function
that defines X. Then it is a "choice determinate by some law." And whether X is
infinite or finite is a red herring. Suppose I said,"Consider an arbitrary person with
no feet. Then he has no toenails." This is a perfectly valid inference whether there
are finitely many or infinitely many persons in the multiverse.

Brent,
You are assuming that there is no difference between an known and an unknown
quantity. A big mistake!
Can you quote where I have made this assumption?
