The General Free Will Theorem

TL;DR

This paper extends the Free Will Theorem, suggesting that if humans possess some free will, then nonlocal effects from other free beings outside space-time could influence our world, combining randomness and lawfulness.

Contribution

It introduces the General Free Will Theorem, linking human free will to nonlocal influences from outside space-time, expanding on previous theorems.

Findings

Supports the existence of nonlocal effects from outside space-time

Links human free will to external nonlocal influences

Proposes a new framework connecting free will and nonlocality

Abstract

It is argued that the Strong Free Will Theorem (Conway-Kochen) does not prove nonlocal determinism wrong. This is done by the before-before (Suarez-Scarani) experiment, which is used here to prove the following General Free Will Theorem: If humans have a certain amount of free will, there are other free beings outside space-time producing nonlocal effects in our world, which are both random and lawful.
