Chris Crawford has been doing quite a bit of research and writing regarding this 
whole concept for a number of years.  For those who want an introductory look 
into his thoughts on the issue, I suggest his article:

"Interactivity, Plot, Free Will, Determinism, Quantum Mechanics, and Temporal 
Irreversibility"

The article is located at:

http://www.erasmatazz.com/library/JCGD_Volume_8/Free_Will_Determinism.html

(If the title of the article doesn't pique your interest, I don't know what 
will.  I read it about two years ago and it served to introduce me to the 
challenge of interactive storytelling.)

The library at his erasmatazz site is chock full of articles about interactive 
storytelling.  If you read all of them, you'll get a good picture of the 
evolution of Chris' thinking on the issue over the past 4 years.
