Free will is a scalar dimension along which decision choosing algorithms can vary.
With high free will, human can adapt, customize, and innovate situationally optimized responses to an unpredictable environment. With low free will, a Sphex wasp can reactively activate one of its stored patterns and use very little expensive cognitive processing to react optimally in a predictable environment.
