Cute. I'm operating on YOUR assumption that "we already know about" things that "don't behave according to deterministic laws."

If quantum possibilities are not deterministic, then they are random. Deterministic on a level that we don't understand yet is still deterministic--and was already included in my definition of deterministic.

The two main interpretations of quantum mechanics are the multiple universes theory and the must be observed before it pops into place theory. Neither one, taken to it's logical conclusion, produces a free will.
