When we have an isolated system, the criterion that determineswhether something happens spontaneously is the entropy has to increase.

对于孤立系统,决定一个过程是否自发发生的判据为：,熵必须增加。

The amount of work you've put in to get here depends on the path. It's not a function of state.

这些量就能,决定系统的状态了。

If a deterministic system could nonetheless have free will, we could still be purely physical systems.

如果一个决定论系统能在此情况下,仍然拥有自由意志,我们仍可能只是纯粹的物理系统

If I wanted to use print as a variable name, how do I get the system to decide gee, do I want print as a value for something, or do I want print as a command?

如果我把print当做一个变量名，我如何让系统来决定，我是要把print当做一个命令来用呢，还是要把它当做一个变量名来用呢？

Well, the thought, I suppose is, in philosopher's jargon, that the computer is a deterministic system.

对于这个观点,我认为,以哲学的语言可以表达为,电脑是个决定论的系统

耶鲁公开课 - 死亡课程节选

And the thought, of course, is that the robot or the computer is a deterministic system and you can't have free will if you're a deterministic system.

那个想法,当然,是说机器人和电脑只是一种决定论的系统,而如果你是个决定论系统的话,就不可能有自由意志

Because after all, premise three: 'All purely physical systems are subject to determinism.' Isn't it true after all that the basic laws of physics are deterministic laws?

毕竟,按照前提三,所有纯粹的物理系统都遵从决定论,基本的物理定律,难道不都是决定性的吗

Suppose we then add three, all purely physical systems are subject to determinism.

假设我们再往后添加第三点,所有纯物理系统都遵守决定论

Three says, all purely physical systems are subject to determinism.

三说,所有纯物理系统都遵守决定论

Three, all purely physical systems are subject to determinism.

三,所有纯粹的物理系统都服从于决定论

耶鲁公开课 - 死亡课程节选

So even if it does turn out that you can't have free will and determinism, that doesn't rule out the possibility that we are purely physical objects, because not all purely physical systems are subject to determinism.

因此即使最终证实,你不能同时拥有自由意志和遵从决定论,也不能排除我们是纯粹,物理实体的可能性,因为并不是所有的纯粹物理系统,都遵从决定论

It just isn't true that all purely physical systems are subject to determinism.

那么所有的纯粹物理系统,都遵从决定论就是错的了

Even if quantum mechanics was wrong and somehow, you know, at the macro level all the indeterminism boils out-- whatever-- and at the macro level we are deterministic systems, so what?

即便量子力学是错的,而且不知怎的,在宏观水平上,所有的非决定性都蒸发了,不管发生了什么,在宏观水平上我们都成了决定论的系统,那又如何
