…Let us discuss— if we can, Degrees of Freedom.
…Have you ever looked up at the stars at night, and wondered— are some of our choices pre-destined?
…Are some of the things that happen to us just completely random?
…Are we *really* free to make all of the choices that confront us?
…Isn’t *every* statistical test just simply a measurement ratio of those things which are happening just as expected, which is then divided into all of that which is happening completely at random?
And, in so becoming— becomes an exemplary model of the Universe?
And so— if we were to just take a sample population of all of the possible choices, and put all of them into a bin, and start selecting them all out at random, until eventually, there was but one choice left to choose…
The truth would *very likely* be that we were absolutely free to choose *any* of them, until at last, we were confronted with the *final* choice, which had *actually* been chosen for us, long before any of the samples had been taken.
And why? Because of the fact that the probability of that choice is exactly n-1, where [n=the number of possible choices— less *just* the last one, as the total population of choices asymptotically approaches Zero], which means it then becomes the singular and *only* choice we can make at that point.
And so— Freedom must vary, until just the last one, and *THAT* is what we call…
DEGREES OF FREEDOM.
