Dear Bruno, I have used the Easter holidays to read again through your SANE 2004 paper, and I have a question regarding step 7.
(I am fine with step 1-6, step 8 seems OK but I will withhold judgment until I understand step 7 ;-) The things I am unclear about are: 1) maximally complete computational histories going through a state -> what are these? 2) Why do they correspond to _consistent_ extensions, and how do you define these consistent extensions (in a normal logical way -> no contradiction; or differently?)- 3) And how do you treat the Boltmann brain issue which crops up in modern cosmology but also in a UD generating _all_ computational histories?
