[Craig] If I don't pull lever A, the train continues & runs over innocent bystanders. I don't see how "chance, probability, chaos,?unexpected consequences, etc." are necessary to make my action free.
[Arlo] If there is never a chance you could pull a different level, or not pull any level, or pull both level... in other words, if there was 100% certainly that your action would occur, then you were never free to choose otherwise. Freedom depends on the possibility of uncertain outcomes. Without that, you are just an automaton. This is not to say that in some situations the probability of one response will never near 100%, it very well might. But it can never achieve absolute certainty, or else freedom is destroyed.
