Liberty

As has been established, freedom is the ability to process information to the greatest extent imaginable—ultimately, it is the ability of humans to imagine. Liberty, on the other hand, is a condition, an absence of restraints within a specific state, a permission to process information (i.e. a right). As has also been seen, freedom can never be attained. An individual can appear to be be free (i.e. nominally proclaimed to be able to be free) but, in fact, is not free (their state being able to control all his or her processing); in any event, most of the time individuals feel themselves to be less free than others or than their imagined level of freedom.
