If the supporters of the ASSA use the term in the sense you describe, then I really don't understand them. If I ask what "my" next experience will be, I can only consider observer moments identifying themselves as myself, "Youness Ayaita". Otherwise they should postulate that "I" is not linked to the process of self- identification, but that it is an absolute entity jumping from one observer moment to another. > The everything list wiki has some notes on the RSSA/ASSA distinction - > I'm wondering if these shouldn't be inserted directly into Wikipedia, > as the everything wiki has been near death since its inception. Due to a momentary problem of my internet connection, I have no access to the everything wiki. So, I don't know how it looks. But in general, I strongly support the idea of establishing a wiki for us, and I would participate, too. One reason, of course, is to have a reference for the various definitions used in our discussions. I also see further reasons: For example, there are so many books and articles concerned with the anthropic principle and other ideas somehow linked to the Everything ensemble. It would be great to have a short summary and review of every interesting book/article one of us has read. This would simplify the process of finding adequate literature. We could also list famous philosophers and physicists (David Lewis, Max Tegmark, Hugh Everett, ...) of interest and copy the basic information out of Wikipedia (or at least give a link to Wikipedia). I'd also welcome the idea of summarizing the various theories individually defended by participants of this list in the wiki. The interdependency of the theories would be clear, and links to other articles to the wiki could be used. I don't like the current situation in which everyone is only concerned with his own website publishing articles there. A central website would be much more comfortable; of course, links to the specific homepages where the theories are described in detail, could be added without any problem.
