Richard Dawkins acknowledged the perplexity: I have a materialist view of the world. I think that things are determined in a rational way by antecedent events. That commits me to the view that when I think I have free will, when I think that I’m exercising free choice, I’m deluding myself. My brain states are determined by physical events. And yet that seems to contradict, to go against the very powerful subjective impression that we do have free will.

The StockExchange interface represents the abstract concept of asking for the current price of a symbol. This abstraction isolates all of the specific details of obtaining such a price, including from where that price is obtained.
