Random quantum fluctuations(as used in physics and free will debates)
Unpredictable, tiny changes in particles at the smallest scales of reality that happen by pure chance, not because of anything anyone did.
agent(Economics terminology applied to medical ethics)
The party in a principal-agent relationship who is instructed to produce the good or service on the principal's behalf — in the medical context, the doctor
freedom(Philip's theory of free action)
