[A second co-opposition composes the vertical axis.

This is: Thought3V(2 and deed2(1V).

This vertical co-opposition intersects the horizontal co-oppositions of either responsibility3H(2 & freedom2(1H)) or words3H(2 & bondage2(1H)).

My heart2 is the single actuality that arises from the congruence of two co-oppositions.]

[Ah, what about the prior models?

Free will is a term that belongs to both the intersections of ‘my heart2’ and ‘what is good and what is bad2.

Free will associates to the potentials of each vertical axis, something that I may choose1V and conscience1V.

Similarly, free choice belongs to the single actuality of ‘my heart’2 and what is good and what is bad2.]

Is there a difference between the terms free will and free choice?

Augustine wrote of a free will in contrast to a slave will, even though both retained free choice.

Anselm contrasted simple choice (arbitrium) and Christian liberty (libertas). This does not quite fit Augustine’s opposition of free and slave wills.
