Constrained choices(as used in philosophy and decision theory): Decisions made when you have limited options available to you, rather than being able to choose from every possible alternative.
Divine permission of evil(as used in theology and philosophy of religion): The theological idea that God allows bad things to happen in the world, even though God could prevent them. It's about reconciling God's power and goodness with the existence of suffering.
Utilitarian action(as used in ethics): Doing something because it produces the greatest amount of good or happiness for the most people, even if it means some people suffer.
omniscience(The passage tests omniscience against mathematical undecidability): The property of knowing everything; used here to probe whether divine knowledge extends to undecided mathematical propositions.
