The Openness and Indefiniteness of the Future
The future is not pre-determined, as events are not fully defined until they interact in the present, giving rise to an open and indefinite world. Even in classical systems, there is room for indeterminacy and wiggle room. This challenges the notion of a world with branching possibilities already laid out, and instead presents a fuzzy and indefinite world where events become defined through interaction. The nature of time, probability, and indeterminacy leads to philosophical considerations, but the key point is that systems are not fully determined by low level physics, leading to the questioning of the usual rejoinder posed by skeptics of free will.
