    Does a pocket calculator have free will? Nothing external prevents it from acting in any way. It's desire to provide correct answers comes entirely from its own wiring. This is no different from my desires to act coming from my brain or soul or wherever you might think free will could possibly originate from.

    But I think any definition that allows a pocket calculator to have free will is useless.
