Dear Matthieu: I thought I had found all cases where I used "future" when I wanted to use "next" but a few escaped and are corrected below:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I allow that the current state of a universe contains the information necessary to list all the possible next and prior states but not to determine the actual prior and next states. This information is useless because to use it internally is itself a change of state. Further I do not agree that there is any external point of view or any observer with any point of view at all for that matter. That would just be excess entities [i.e. too complex a theory] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Multiple actually realized next states as opposed to multiple possible next states is also unnecessarily complex. Hal
