There's a guy named Stephen Wolfram who created one.
And basically, complexity theory itself, like if you've heard of chaos theory.
So what chaos theory says is that even small changes in the initial conditions of a system can result in very divergent effects down the road.
So like the butterfly effect.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like the butterfly flaps its wings in Hong Kong and the New York Stock Exchange crashes.
And so what it's saying is in a complex system, it's unpredictable what will happen.
And even if the rules are deterministic, there was a Netflix show called The Three-Body Problem a few years ago.
I don't know if you saw it.
I didn't.
The Three-Body Problem itself is one of these things where you have three different astronomical objects that are kind of circling each other, and you don't know if they're going to get into a stable orbit or not.
And there's no good way to predict it.
So the only way to find out what's going to happen is to run the program.
So even if there isn't free will, you still don't know what's going to happen.
But now, physicists like to think, well, what is free will?
It's just randomness.
That's what they say.
I think most normal people would say, no, it's not randomness.
It's I am deciding something, and then I'm deciding to go to it.
And in the RPG version, free will comes from outside the system.
