Free will in the clustered‑minds multiverse, and some comments on S. Sarasvathy’s ‘choice matters’

Abstract

This paper sketches a new version of the multiverse interpretation of quantum mechanics, the clustered-minds multiverse, that has been presented in detail elsewhere (Schade 2018, Springer, New York). It briefly shows why it grants us with free will and reflects upon the (im-)possibilty of singular-universe explanations of free will (e.g., Laskey 2018, J Cogn Sci 19–2:125–163). It also critically comments upon S. Sarasvathy’s ’choice matters,’ one of the other contributions to this mini symposium.
