Abstract
We exploit the results of Bamonti and Gomes (2024) concerning the dynamical (un)coupling of reference frames to gravity to analyse the role of reference frames in the Hole Argument. We introduce a new possible threat to determinism, which we call Arbitrariness Problem (ARB), resulting from the inherent freedom in selecting a reference frame.
