I won't say that your definition of a free society is wrong, but I think it's worth pointing out that it doesn't exactly rule out a feudal system.

I didn't provide a "definition" of a free society.

I suppose your post doesn't rule out that 'a free society' might be characterised by more than just the ability to freely enter agreements. However you did fail to distinguish your free society from a feudal system.

Yeah. The feudal arrangement was always understand as "reciprocal" and one can argue, it was pretty good relative to the alternatives at times.
