ThemeNone. Any question.

The question is narrow enough to treat rigorously in the word count. Not "free will" but one sub-issue inside it.
The debate is set out clearly before my own argument starts. The exegesis is not skipped.
There is a claim of my own that I build and defend, not a survey of other people's views.
Plain prose: short sentences, defined terms, qualifiers and spare adjectives cut.
Short sections with headings that say what each one does.
Between 1,000 and 3,000 words, not counting references.
Every source credited in APA, websites included, with a reference list at the end.
No AI-written or AI-reworded text anywhere in the essay. Any AI used for research is acknowledged.
Saved as a PDF with my name on it.
