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.
