Victor will explain it to you... But to put it more simply -- All that I'm purporting to provide are probability connections between subsequent impressions of the consciousness, and even though the dividing line between an observer, whose consciousness is being affected, and the observed physical object can be shifted towards the one or the other to a considerable degree, it cannot be eliminated. Yes? Victor -- Thanks. That's probably the best advice I've received in a LONG time ...  In my case, though, the reality I perceive myself to be in at any particular point in time more or less depends on Schrödinger's cat and the unique and particular relativistic modality that the cat induces as sort of a lensing effect affecting one's perception of of time's spectrum and our individual placement therein. But as with Hereclitus the Obscure, one never steps in the same stream twice so one can never be sure. I think ... Peace love out I'm puttingthe Wigner down and going back to Winnie the Pooh ... By "time's spectrum" I assume that you are referring to the interface of the fabric of time-space. Without that, your statement does not hold water. I, as many I am certain, would appreciate that, in the future, you would explain your thoughts more thoroughly to avoid this type of unnecessary confusion. Thank you in advance.

But I must confess that Winnie is more my speed than Wigner.

Oh and don't, " wag your fickle finger of condemnation at me" either there, jib boy. You thought I didn't see that did you......
HARRUUMPH!
On a much more serious note, I too will miss our President and indeed have the last couple of years. I always look forward to our time together and hope to see you soon.
Great to hear about all your progress. I haven't been very productive wrenching on old iron but have made a lot of progress with lumber and drywall in the last year or two...

I don't think I will ever think of a possum the same again.
