You can assume anything you like!
Seriously, we have had extensive and occasionally acrimonious debates
on this topic in the past, without much success or resolution. I think
that we have no good foundation for establishing the truth or falsehood
in any universe, then you will consider yourself to still
be alive. You could also choose the contrary, that if the total
measure
(ie. probability) of your survival is extremely small, that you are
dead.

Hi
I submit this link to Shmidhuber's second paper, which discusses various
probability distributions on the set of computable Universes.

Sorry if this has been already covered. I'm not a mathematician, and I'm not
entirely into hardcore computer science.

Indeed, I've always thought there was a dubious assumption there.
There isn't a universal time to pace the clock tics of a simulation.
Relativity forbids it.
Anyway, time is a subjective illusion.
Back to the question:
So what happens when the simulation diverges from regularity?

2) A Nothing has an interesting logical problem: It can not answer any
meaningful question about itself. Assuming there is a relevant meaningful
question a Nothing would be incomplete. An inescapable meaningful
question is its own stability. This is not only meaningful it is
