Russell:
Simple systems by virtue of the fact that 
they are simple don't have any kind of will, 
any more than they have poetry, stock 
portfolios or favorite ice cream. 
Free will by definition only applies to sentient 
beings, which are necessarily complex systems.


Ok, Conway and Cocken made a mistake.
I would call it (together with Popper
and Heisenberg) 'free propensity'!
