Expanding non-domination means creating new undominated choices, not only removing domination

Evidence

Nor, crucially, is that all. The furthering of non-domination is not strictly equivalent to the reduction of domination, whether that be a reduction in its intensity or a reduction in its extent. We can expand non-domination, not just by reducing existing domination, but by novel extensions of the area over which, and the ease with which, a subject can exercise undominated choice, at whatever level of intensity. We can introduce or facilitate undominated choices in areas where they do not currently exist or are very costly. The choices may be unavailable because the relevant options are not culturally accessible— not accessible in the way reading is not accessible in a non-literate culture—or because the options are curtailed by an excessively constraining law or because the hard facts of life put them beyond reach. — Philip Pettit, Republicanism, 378
