Introduction
So, I want to prove that the decisions that any being makes are either predetermined or are chosen at random - basically, disproving libertarianism. I have already formulated it using words, and, in fact, I have also attempted at formulating it using modal logic, but, since this is the first time I ever used it, it is very likely that a big chunk of the proof will be wrong, ambiguous, unclear, or just plain gibberish. So, I want to see what exactly it is, if not everything, that can be improved in my modal logic formulation and how.
Verbal formulation
- Either an action is the same in all possible worlds, or it is not.
- If it is not, it must depend on a variable that is not the same in all worlds.
- Similarly, that variable itself must depend on a variable that is not the same in all worlds.
- I demand that the variable composition is not infinite, as that would result in an infinite regress.
- Therefore, there must eventually be a variable that doesn't depend on anything. Since, if $a$ depends on $b$ that depends on $c$, $a$ depends on $c$, the action itself must depend on nothing.
- I define a thing to be predetermined if it is the same in all worlds and random if it depends on nothing but is not predetermined.
- Therefore, an action at any given instant is either predetermined or random.
Mathematical formulation
In this theorem, I will consider an action taken at a particular instant by a particular individual;
- $f[x]$ represents that $f$ depends on $x$/the (set) of value(s) of $f$ at $x$
- $c$ represents a constant
- $a$ is the action taken
$f^n[x]$, in this context, will be taken to mean $f\circ f \circ \cdot \cdot \cdot \circ f$ with $f$ repeated n times
- $Df. 1:D(y,x_1,x_2,…x_n):\Leftrightarrow (y[x_1,x_2,…x_n]\wedge \neg \exists z:y[z])$
- $Df. 2:(\forall v:(f[v]\Leftrightarrow v\in V[f]))\wedge \forall f:\neg (V[f]=\emptyset)$
- $Th. 1:D(a,V[a])\oplus \square a=c$
- $Th. 2:(\forall n\in ℕ:D(V^n [a],V^{n+1} [a]))\oplus \exists Max[n]\oplus \square a=c$
- $Ax. 1:\exists Max[n]$
- $Th. 4:D(a,\emptyset )\oplus \square a=c$
- $Df. 3:f\in Pre:\Leftrightarrow \square f=c$
- $Df. 4:f\in Ran:\Leftrightarrow (D(f,\emptyset )\wedge \neg (f\in Pre))$
- $Th. 5:a\in Ran\oplus a\in Pre$
Can anyone help me with this?
