Abstract

Bulitko (1997) has suggested expanding my model by replacing Axiom 1 with a more general assumption. It is shown in this response that such an expansion is incompatible with the principle of freedom. It is also proven that Axiom 1 can be replaced by a formal analogue of the statement that the subject has free will.
