I am open to direct proportionality, it is not yet proved, nor even clearly defined. With UD* the domains of uncertainty are at least (with n-steps histories for any integers n) infinite countable. So you should tell me what mean "direct proportionality" here. > I see only 1 WR problem and it's not the 1-WR, but the WR, which >is more or less solved.

From now on you're not allowed to claim that linkage of >experiences over time is a problem or the like. I don't see why. To explain the now-experience from the possible inference of machines (or SAS) which are "reconstituted" sparsely in UD*, you need to explain my now-belief in (at least apparence of) time space and energy without using these concepts. I never see a problem with the linkage of experiences over time, for time is a construct of atemporal possible (consistent) experiences. The same for space, matter, and any physicalist predicates.
