Liar, liar, cerebral cortex on fire!

Did you ever see a movie -The Majority Report- with Tom Cruise and Max von Sidow? It was scary.

Lol! Good one!

What do you think that the third ESP/psychic in the film, the one that Tom Cruise was so desperately trying to save, and who had foreseen a different outcome, ( she was in fact "the minority report" ), represented?

Free will, ( or, to be precise, belief in free will ), or the non-determinative/non-determined, ( yang or yin ), stage/dimension/aspect of the constantly turning cycle of determinist processes and non-determinist ones? ;)
