Why is it assumed that a multiple runs makes any difference to the

One reason I like this assumption is that it provides a natural reason
for simpler universes to have greater measure than more complex ones.

Now consider all possible program tapes being run at the same time,

Of those, a fraction of 1 in 2^100 of those tapes will start with that

I wish to read these 3 papers, which I have not found on the net in full text. Would
anyone have them or know where they can be found?

Would a artificial self-aware entity emerging from human technology
represent mind?
(depends on YOUR definition of mind, of course) - but
self-aware? does that mean that if the program calls for some math-churning,
the computer will say I rather play some Bach music now and does so?

I find it hard to believe that the measure of a
program/book/movie/experience is proportional to the number it is
executed/read/seen/lived, independently of everything else.
I have an alternative proposition:
Measure is a function of how accessible a particular
