Hi Bruno:
In response I will start with some assumptions central to my approach.
The first has to do with the process of making a list.
The assumption is:
Making a list of items [which could be some of
the elements of a set for example] is always a
process of making a one to one mapping of the
items to some of the counting numbers such as:
1 - an item
2 - an item not previously on the list
3 - an item not previously on the list
.
.
.
n - last item and it was not previously on the list
My second assumption is:
Objects [such as states of universes for example] have properties.
My third assumption is:
All of the properties it is possible for objects to have can be listed.
My fourth assumption is:
The list of possible properties of objects is countably infinite.
Conclusions so far:
[All possible objects are defined by all the sub lists of the full list.]
[The number of objects is uncountably infinite]
I will stop there for now and await comments.
As to the remainder of the post:
In the above I have not reached the point of
deriving the dynamic of my model but I am not
focusing on computations when I say that any
succession of states is allowed. Logically
related successions are allowed. Successions
displaying any degree of randomness are also allowed.
I would like to finish the walk through of my
model before discussing white rabbits and observation.
Yours

Hi Bruno:
I was using some of the main components of my
model to indicate that it allows white rabbits of
all degree. Any succession of states is
allowed. If the presence of SAS in certain
successions requires a certain family of white
rabbit distributions then these distributions are present.
Well, thanks for the white rabbit, but the current goal consists in
explaining why we don't see them. When you say any succession of states
is allowed, are you talking about computations? In computations the
states are logically related, and not all succession of states can be
allowed, or you talk about something else, but then what exactly?
What are your assumption, and what are your conclusion? I know you have
made an effort in clarity, but in your last definitions you adopt the
axiomatic way of talking, but not the axiomatic way of reasoning. This
makes your talk neither informally convincing (granted some sharable
intuition) nor formally clear. I have always been willing to attribute
to you some intuition, I continue doing so, and I have suggested to you
some books capable of providing helps toward much clarity, which is
what is needed to communicate to others, especially when working on
extremely hard subject like what we are discussing.
I hope that Jason, who kindly proposes some act of systematization,
will be able to help you to develop your probably interesting ideas,
Regards,
Bruno
