Free independence

In the mathematical theory of free probability, the notion of free independence was introduced by Dan Voiculescu. The definition of free independence is parallel to the classical definition of independence, except that the role of Cartesian products of measure spaces (corresponding to tensor products of their function algebras) is played by the notion of a free product of (non-commutative) probability spaces. In the context of Voiculescu's free probability theory, many classical-probability theorems or phenomena have free probability analogs: the same theorem or phenomenon holds (perhaps with slight modifications) if the classical notion of independence is replaced by free independence. Examples of this include: the free central limit theorem; notions of free convolution; existence of and so on. Let be a , i.e. a unital algebra over equipped with a unital linear functional . As an example, one could take, for a probability measure , Another example may be , the algebra of matrices with the functional given by the normalized trace . Even more generally, could be a von Neumann algebra and a state on . A final example is the group algebra of a (discrete) group with the functional given by the group trace . Let be a family of unital subalgebras of . Definition. The family is called freely independent if whenever , and . If , is a family of elements of (these can be thought of as random variables in ), they are called freely independent if the algebras generated by and are freely independent. (Wikipedia).

Daniel Dennett - What is Free Will?

Free will is a problem. If it seems obvious that you are perfectly free to choose and decide, then it seems perfectly clear that you do not understand the problem. Free will is a huge problem, because our sense of free will and the physical structure of the world contradict each other. Fo

You don't have free will, but don't worry.

In this video I explain why free will is incompatible with the currently known laws of nature and why the idea makes no sense anyway. However, you don't need free will to act responsibly and to live a happy life, and I will tell you why. Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Sabi
