@Tim

To provide evidence of it you need to find evidence that I ‘could have chosen otherwise’ for reasons that are neither (i) deterministic, nor (ii) random.

I live in a world where nothing is deterministic and nothing is random.

I work in a world, the world of abstract mathematics, where there is determinism and there is randomness. But the reality of everyday life does not contain anything that is deterministic or anything that is random. Rather, determinism and randomness are idealisms that we find useful as we model reality.
