The Free Will Theorem and the Flash Ontology implicitly assume the Before-Before Experiment and thereby imply free will. Comment on a note by Nicolas Gisin in arXiv:1002.1392v1
Antoine Suarez
TL;DR
This paper critiques the assumptions underlying the Free Will Theorem and the relativistic GRW model with Flash Ontology, arguing they implicitly rely on the before-before experiment, thus implying free will.
Contribution
It reveals that both the Free Will Theorem and the rGRWf model implicitly assume the before-before experiment, impacting interpretations of free will in quantum physics.
Findings
FWT and rGRWf assume the before-before experiment
Both imply free will outside free experimenters
Critique of assumptions in quantum foundations
Abstract
It is argued that both the "Free Will Theorem" (FWT) and the "relativistic GRW model with Flash Ontology" (rGRWf) hiddenly assume the result of the before-before experiment, and for this reason both FWT and rGRWf imply free will in the world outside free experimenters.
