Capitalist fun fact of the day: The word “free” in the term “free market” refers to a lack of authoritarian market structures controlling how people interact.

It is also important to note that capitalist markets aren't "free" in that respect. Capitalism advocates for a competitive market. Ensuring competition between participants in the market requires strict and tight government regulation. The subcategories of capitalism, generally, differ in how much freedom is given to the market and how much intervetionism is actioned by the government.

Like keeping a neural net within certain parameters. Strictly control its boundaries, let it follow its own gradient inside of that.

Ok great, but what if they interact in ways I don't like?

Then you build the authoritarian structure through force of pure will, and coerce everyone.
