Gibbs equation

Free will equals enthalpy minus temperature times entropy.

Or, less grandly: agency is what remains after uncertainty has taken its cut.

Some people tolerate ambiguity. They can wait, let events unfold and not demand a full map before acting.

Others need information, plans and communication. Not because they are weak, but because uncertainty creates disorder. Without enough signal, the mind starts filling gaps, testing meanings and looking for orientation.

The mistake is treating one style as virtue and the other as pathology. The really valuable test however is reciprocity.

If someone needs communication when they feel uncertain, but goes vague when someone else needs the same thing, that is not just a different tolerance level. It is hypocritical.

Free will, in this sense, is not comfort with uncertainty. It is the capacity to stay fair while uncertain.
