A UD running on an actual computer for a finite time *could* generate S2 before S1. There is nothing in the experience of S to indicate which was generated first, even though if he had to guess with no other information he is more likely to be right if he guesses he is being generated sequentially. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
