From: Charles Martin <Martin@YALE.ARPA> I think Scott Turner's objection is invalid. It doesn't matter that the N+1 decision is different, since we know (at the time we evaluate the N+1 bit) the value of the N bit (am I presuming?). Thus, we're looking through an infinite binary tree. The assumption that makes this idea unpalatable to me is the assumption that the alternate universes are amenable to binary representations in the first place. -------
