	If an object is completely " unconstrained by direct external
forces " , then it's movement is arbitrary. No, free does not mean
arbitrary. Free is an adjective, and arbitrary is an adverb.

	What I meant to imply is that some choices may be regarded
as arbitrary, hence, free will. Science can not measure that which
is not significant.

	There will never be an end to your problems.
