When there is a conscious choice to be made do we have free will or not. Free will defined here is the ability to chose differently than we did choose. We can start with the question will all cidentireplica make the same decision as the original does. If the cidentireplica does not it will not be a cidentireplica. We can then ask a different question how different does a videntireplica have to be from the original before he makes a different decision from the one the original made? We can also ask the question how different does the sensepath have to be for a cidentireplica to produce the different response.
It seems that an original could more likely make bad decisions if the sensepath was a certain set of ways over another. It is quite possible that some originals and the videntireplicas that surround it will be more likely to produce unlawful (behavior defined as bad or inappropriate defined by what ever goals) behavior
To put this is perspective with an actual example. It has been proposed that people are responsible for their behavior, if they have free will, to actually make decisions, so they should be punished if they make unlawful decisions. It appears that we do make decisions consciously so it would seem that we should be held responsible. But in fact every other person that has the exact same conditions cidentireplica will make the same decision. So where is the free will? Are people less likely to do something if they know that they will be punished for it? It appears that they will an example is cigarettes people get an immediately reward for smoking but later they suffer so people try to stop smoking and have. If they did not think anything was wrong with it there would be many more smokers. There are also lesser factors like the cost of the cigarettes and fires, ashes, bad breath etc. There may not be free will but rewards and punishment are reasons for making a decision.
We can consider a set of five variables the physipoint, internapath, externapath, sensepath, and the laws -- (P,I,E,S,L). We have to have a starting point the physipoint it will have a internapath and externapaths that effect the functioning of the body and will be effected by the sensepath to finally produce a behavior This behavior can be within a set of desired behaviors or not
If you want to change the behavior to fit the rules there are three ways of doing this change the sensepath, internapath, or externapath.
How much change in the internapath, externapath, or sensepath does it take to modify behavior? An example of modified behavior would be loosing weight, an example of changing the internapath might be taking a drug that reduces hunger. Changing the externapath is not having food to eat. Both of these change the sensepath. An example of changing the law might be the fat is beautiful and healthy.
