Eek! Of coruse it must, to have an infinity of computations...! Still, I suppose the UD has always finished, within Platonia. But a computer, running for a large amount of time, running the UD, might still generate *some* experiences --- eventually --- surely? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
