What does this "attribute" freedom entail? Freedom for or freedom from?
[Oh, and by the way, what's an individual, in which such a quality can inhere in the first place?]
I suspect that the answers that you and A-G would give to the question "What is freedom?" would be different. Thus, that difference would be the very thing that distinguishes the difference of fundamental worldview of each of you respectively, and which seems to put them so mutually at odds.
Truly, my answer to "What is freedom?" would be based on Whose I am, freedom for not just freedom from.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together. - Romans 8:12-17
“What does this “attribute” freedom entail? Freedom for or freedom from?”
Neither. Freedom to.
Freedom means freedom to think and act as one chooses without restriction by any other individual or group of individual. Such freedom means that one is totally responsible and must bear the consequences of their wrong choices and action, but is free to enjoy the reward of all their right choices and actions.
Such freedom exclude any interference in the life of others.

She told me I was free to believe what I wanted to. That’s the only freedom I’m talking about. What do you suppose she meant by that?
I have to get dinner.
