StatusUnavailable — searched 2026-11-03 for a lawful full text and none was reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex reports it closed; its two other locations are a CiNii catalogue record and a UCLouvain DIAL ebook record (hdl.handle.net/2078/ebook:67558), a licensed library ebook, which timed out; Crossref lists only Oxford Academic, which is subscription access. Web searches found no author copy of the book or of ch. 8. What Kane's text says about chaos, which CLAIM-533 leans on as "the standard reading", is therefore still unchecked here. A whole in-copyright book on a file host would not count (ADR-064). It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied.

Cited as “grounds” byCLAIM-533 — The sensitivity that formal chaos gives a will's dynamics is not control over them: in Kane's self-forming actions, chaotic amplification keeps the outcome open, but it magnifies the agent's efforts, uncontrolled fluctuations and outside inputs alike, so what would make the outcome the agent's is how its own control couples to the amplifying directions, relative to noise and to other parties' inputs and with what feedback, which sensitivity does not supply; and under weak noise what amplification touches lasts only where it reaches the slow modes

Key takeaways

Not read. Nothing here reports the work’s findings; what the exchange’s replies said of it is unverified.

Standing in the record

Kane’s ultimate responsibility and self-forming actions, and ch. 8’s chaotic amplification of indeterminacy in conflict, which the owner’s U20 links to formal chaos (CLAIM-533). The record held Kane only second-hand (THEORY-316, LIT-1867, NOTE-548).
