UD* (trace of the universal dovetailer) is a continuum, AFAICT. It has
the cardinality of the reals, and a natural metric (d(x,y) = 2^{-n},
where n is
the number of leading bits in common between x and y). ISTM, this
metric induces a natural measure over sets of program executions that
is rather continuum like - but maybe I'm missing something?
I always assumed the UD output bits - i.e. not a continuum, but a
countable infinity of symbols - but maybe I'm missing something?
The first/third person distinction. I might add explanation later. It
looks like even those who grasp the FPI forget to apply it. The
invariance of UD-steps-delay plays a crucial role here. It entails
that the consciousness differentiation on the UD* takes "zero second",
and that is why we are confronted with continua.
