Definition (may overlap / nest)
 * 1) Pragmatic free will - (my name for this) The pragmatic time-bound appearance of choice. For the moment do not decide if determinism is correct. Assume deterministic calculations are not possible yet. (These next things are part of definition because it's so undefined) humans have it now, probably had it in garden, probably have it in heaven, God probably has it, and all angels probably have it. Animals probably don't.
 * 2) Whim / Libertarian > Non-causal / radical free will - says that choices are not 100% determined by even soft objects such as values or heart.
 * 3) Autonomy / Libertarian > Agent-causal free will - humans possess some non-physical agency/ability to decide.
 * 4) Libertarian > Event-causal free will - humans are presented with a variety of choices, or otherwise physical things narrow their choices, but they still have an element of absolute agency.
