RE: Observer Moment or Observer Space?

Hi Russell:

In response to Jason you wrote:

In my model a universe is an incomplete entity [a Something or a Nothing]
within the Everything [the ALL(s) + the Nothing(s)[nesting provides the
multiplicity]] that is driven towards completeness by un-resolvable
meaningful [to that entities current state] questions that require
resolution. I suppose this constitutes a "machine".

I wonder if these conclusions - [machines/dynamics] - indeed impose the
property of having space like aspects on the Everything in addition to time
like aspects? Further - would that in turn give it a wider "physical"
matrix?

I agree.

How do you mean that. I do not see that state dwell duration differs within
a given universe.  I also do not see a fixed value even for a particular
universe.

I think you're still missing the point of the UDA. An ensemble like
the all strings ensemble (or UD*) necessarily predicts a predominence
of OMs of high measure that are the consistent continuation of the OM
we experience now.

My argument is that some required property of the observer steps in to
prevent these states from being experienced. Another way of looking at
it is to see that evolution is the only information generating process
in the Multiverse, and the evolution requires heritability, also known
as preservation of information. From this, the axioms of quantum
mechanics follow, which are sufficient (perhaps) to banish the white
rabbit.

Anyway, there is a connection between this heritability requirement
and the robustness requirement I use in my White Rabbit treatment,
although I haven't connected the dots.

Yes, but it's not a local law: the point is that the minimum specification
is whatever minimally specifies a normal OM (including what constitutes it
etc). The presumption is that this will be something like a TOE, which will
likely incorporate some compressed version of mwi, and so would lead to
apparent indeterministic qm at the physical universe branch level
(considered as OM sequences if you wish).

 I just don't see that this follows from Occams

If Occam's Razor does predict a multiverse, that would fit nicely.
