What does the pronoun "its" refer to in this sentence? The UD or the

Doesn't it? Could either Quentin or Bruno please render this thought
in French, please? I will understand it better. Thanks.
I cannot even think in french! Really, I have been asked to write a
paper in french, for a book, and I realize that I am so used to write
on this in english that I have to think a lot to find french
expressions to convey the thought.
The "its" is neither the UD, nor the universe, but the observer (you).
The observable part of the universe that the observer is observing
here and now is determined by the collection of computations (in the
UD) going through the state of the observer <here and now>. It is the
3-state of the observer <here and now>.
Just imagine that there is somewhere a DU running in the universe.
Then take into account the first person indeterminacy and its
invariance for huge computation delays, its invariance for the real/
virtual change, well, all the first person invariance described in the
first six steps of the UD Argument. You can see, then, that, whatever
experience you are doing in your present, your subjective future is
determined by the infinity of computations made by that UD and which
go through the computational state of your mind during the
experiences. OK?
