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.
