I agree. In my case I think this is required to isolate SAS from their future. I see consciousness as an observation of a transition by a subsystem of a universe that has a distribution of future states that is less random than the distribution of future states for the rest of the universe it is a part of. Such sub systems should spontaneously arise in any universe but will not endure in all universes. Transitions are driven by the need to avoid a selected everything - no information - and the everything's inability to determine its own stability which causes it to oscillate with the Nothing. Hal
