The quintessential act of free will emerges unpredictably from a unique problem situation, requiring a creative solution that produces real knowledge. This knowledge is causal in the environment and leads to significant changes, such as GPS, satellites, and rockets. The act of free will is not random but a unique solution to a specific problem, creating knowledge that gets replicated across the multiverse. If different individuals encounter the same problem, they would arrive at the same or similar solution, leading to the replication of knowledge across different universes.
