Why does x=1,y=9 have to be destroyed to make room for x=2,y=11? What does destroying the previous state add to x=2,y=11 that wasn't there before? Now consider we aren't dealing with a simple line, but an equation tracing the interactions of all the particle interactions in your brain. If x=1 corresponds to your consciousness in time 1, and x=2 corresponds to your consciousness in time 2, then how would destroying the x=1 state change your conscious state for x=2?
