Abstract

The main point of this chapter is the thesis that free choice (FC) effects such as those in (1) constitute a unitary phenomenon empirically, and call for a uniform explanation conceptually. I will also argue that such a unified explanation is possible within an alternative-based framework. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
