What if ALL branches terminate? Note 1: this is perfectly compatible with an ensemble of branches which does not terminate even though each individual branch does, if there are infinitely many branches. Note 2: this is really the situation in QM, if a 'branch' is understood as an implementation of a brain computation. If you disagree I must ask for a mathematically precise definition of branch. Note 3: I have not been active recently because I have a lot of work to do, and I will have for the next few weeks. To all Qiciders: Do not interpret silence on my part as a lack of contempt for your writings. Note 4: George, you still owe me an apology re: Bayesian Boxes. - - - - - - - Jacques Mallah ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Graduate Student / Many Worlder / Devil's Advocate "I know what no one else knows" - 'Runaway Train', Soul Asylum My URL: http://pages.nyu.edu/~jqm1584/
