You want Simplicity, I understand.

Your ultimate destination is death, I didn't feel like spoiling it, but here it is.
So you can have a definite end, but will have infinite possibilities till the end.

how can choices with a definite end have infinite possibilities? it seems like you can't have both. i can't choose to take a left in the maze without becoming what my choice has determined, i am soley a result of choices made and actions past. everytime i change a path in this infinite maze i become different myself due to the choice i made. it is to say that i already made the choice to go left before i actually did? it is easy to say no matter what i choose, it doesn't matter because im going to make it out of the maze already. but it is harder to say that person I identify with and call myself me wouldn't be different based upon the direction i chose to take.

Example:
You can think of free will in a maze.
The consequences of your choices may lead to getting out of the maze with more time or less time to spare but the ultimate destination (predetermined) is out of the maze :) That doesn't mean to say you will escape or have long ago been freed.
Everyones maze is, well, infinitely unique.
Goodnight and Good luck!

it seems like you are disagreeing and agreeing at once.
