(1) Does freewill arise solely through the mechanism of chaos?
(2) Can digital systems exhibit chaos (as opposed to simulating it to a
    limited extent)?
(3) What if a digital system is coupled to a chaotic system, e.g., some sort
    of unstable oscillator that can be sampled to give one bit of information?

Just some random thoughts that popped into my head ... comments solicited.
