it depends on what freedom means to you. my opinion is that you are "totally" free as long as your freedom doesn't disturb or even hurt the people around you

If I understand correctly you are asking whether a given person's freedom can increase infinitely?
In my humble opinion, a person's freedom is mostly limited by his own intelligence. So if you can somehow increase your abilities constantly then your level of freedom would follow...

Yes.
1. The responsibility that comes with Freedom and the personal responsiblity of the person
2. The intelligence and WISDOM of the person
3. The morals, values, and conscience of the person and the society
4. The choices made by the person

It is easier for me to approach the question within the context of the exercise of free will. We all have unrestrained free will but in society we must put some legal and moral restraints on the exercise of free will. In general our ethical standards permit that you have freedom up to the point that you infringe on the freedom of another person.

Yes, in a way. As long as your exercising of freedom does not limit someone else's. If you are free...you can proclaim from the steps of a church that you do not believe in God...but, you must also allow someone else to proclaim that they do believe. So, the real question is, is there truly freedom?

Of course. Your freedom to do whatever you want ends at the point of it interfering with another's freedom.

the only limit for freedom is the initiation of force physically or by fraud

"the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint" looks limitless to me, but we know it's only a word politicians like to throw around knowing you aren't getting anymore than they say you need.
