I would be tempted to answer this along the lines of the self/other distinction, memories that are "self" count towards the OM, whereas "other memories" (ie what is available for measurement in the environment) do not, but allow for OMs to transition into successor OMs on measurement. But quite possibly the answer is "that depends" - on the question being asked, the thought experiment proposed and so on - ah shut up and calculate he says.... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Mathematics UNSW SYDNEY 2052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Australia http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
