I'm with Mike and Brent. Bruno, giving A1 and A2 mirrors which would show different stuff violates Stathis' assumption of running the _same_ computation - you can't go out of the system.
And your remark that we should differentiate infinite identical platonic computations confuses me - it seems to contradict unification (which I gather you assume). Measure can only be influenced by _different_ computations supporting the same OM. Cheers, Günther Michael Rosefield wrote: > I agree.
