I have another question: I know that with the quantum theory of
immortality, the non-cul-de-sac conjecture involve that there are
always
some branches where you can stay alive, but can you follow the same
branches for an eternity? For example, can you stay in a box (even if
it
is not very probable) forever? It would be unlikely ^^ ! What about
that
within Bruno's theory?
TR.
The non-cul-de-sac conjecture is more the decision of not taking into
account the dead end (which by comp exists everywhere). Tha fact that
there is always "no-dead-end" states is more a consequence of the comp
assumption (betting I'm some sound lobian machine).

Yes of course, if we consider that all possible "observer moment"

then it follow that a tiny fraction of your consistent histories will
follow
the same branches for eternity(I have to say that I don't really know
what it
mean to stay on the same "branche" (because I think that in fact
consciousness is spanning over a lot/an infinity of almost identical
observer
moment), but it is of very low measure. Now, how can we know the
measure of a
branche through time (what is time anyway ?)... I really don't know ;)

I have also a problem with the expression "staying in the same
branche": you always split or differentiate on 2^aleph_0 branches. Do
you mean branches looking the same from the first person perspective?
Time is the first person perspective I would say. That can be shown
necessary when recast through the self-reference logic (G, G*) and
their intensional variant (S4Grz, the Z and X logics, ...). I could
explain with the modal logics).
