IAN: The problem I see with "unlimited freedom" is that private
property is an integral feature of liberty and freedom. Private
property is defined by limits. If there are no limits to what I
can do -- that is, if I have unlimited freedom of action -- then
it follows that I can tread all over the property claims, i.e.,
the defined limits, of others.
If there is no right to private property I cannot even own my body.
If I cannot own my body, I cannot have freedom. Therefore unlimited
freedom for all localized beings is a contradiction. However, in a
nonlocal relm 'unlimited freedom' does have meaning. For example,
since identity is nonlocal, identity is unlimited and free,
where 'free' implies unbounded.

IAN: Good points. And 'dynamic' does not imply treading over other's space.
