The only result I get is that the "measure 1" obeys sort of quantum logic (like "measure 1" in QM obeys Birkhof-von Neumann QL). >Of course the doctrine of reincarnation (it always seemed to me) >only requires one soul - a bit like Feynman's one-electron >universe, it just zip-zags back and forth...
