One of my favourite examples of what I shall call nominative indeterminism. The leading British pro-Zionist archaeologist in mandatory Palestine and Israel was called, I kid you not, P.L.O. Guy.

Nor is it at all clear that quantum indeterminism produces a free will worth wanting.

we do not need quantum mechanics to give us indeterminism. even statistical mechanics tells us that no process can produce the future faster than the passage of time. so without positing the existence of an atemporal observer outside time with causal power over us, this is all there is.

As 'guardrails' and their indeterminism are doing the rounds with the latest CoPilot fail (h/t @irisvanrooij.bsky.social) I am thinking of @sarahciston.com's work on "how large model guardrails are socially produced and technically enforced through language" (Ciston 2026)

This is Minerva. Nominative indeterminism is also real. Her name means "wisdom" or "intellect" and she is currently stuck on her back under this chair because she only likes rolling over in one direction.

Now out in Synthese! 😊 "Reframing the free will debate: the universe is not deterministic", with Henry Potter and George Ellis rdcu.be/e2hIh
Figure. 2 Top: Universal (Laplacean) determinism posits a single, unbranching timeline, with no real possibilities. Middle: The standard way to conceptualise indeterminism (“determinism-plus-randomness”) sees the future as a series of forking paths, where alternate possibilities in a sense are pre-existing or pre-statable, and which branch is taken is determined by the intrusion of randomness at specific moments into an otherwise deterministic evolution. Bottom: An alternative way to conceptualise indeterminism (“pervasive indefiniteness”) which sees the future as radically open; with the near-future tightly constrained by current states, but the far-future highly under-determined beyond some time horizon. The present is then defined as the time during which events occur, resolving the open possibilities into actual happenings, which then become the fixed past (Smolin & Verde, 2021; Mitchell, 2023). In this view, in the present “indeterminacy gets resolved as particles catch each other mid-jitter and interact to form some new state, the components of which start jittering all over again” (Mitchell, 2023:163)
