These are: (a) there must be a self to self-determine; * A cuckoo clock is self determined, its internal clockwork determines what it will do. (b) there must be a non-zero probability of more than one option being > enacted; There is more than one state a roulette wheel or a radioactive atom could end up in. > * > there must be an internal means of choosing among options (which is > not merely random, * You can't have it both ways, either the choice was determined by cause and effect and it 's a cuckoo clock or it was not and therefore is a random roulette wheel . So tell me what the hell "free will" is supposed to mean and I'll tell you if robots can have free will or not.
