I already wrote about this idea before.

Now I bring an idea of Gerard t' Hooft. You can read his article in:
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0701097
For 't Hooft Free Will has to do with "the initial state". What I understood is that free will is constrained. I can choose to do only what is possible for me. I have to consider the constraints. What 't Hooft proposes is to impose a condition on our description of reality that acknowledges this fact. 't Hooft says:
"an observer has the free will to modify the setting of a measuring device, but has no control over the phase of its wave function".
What may not be acceptable is that the theory forces us to only have initial states less in number of the initial states we already know are possible.
