Oh that's a typo, and I have never read the Many Forking Paths.
It is a very good one, quoted by Everett, if I remember well.
I think Liz thought on "Tlon Uqbar Orbid Tertius. The first novel in
"Fiction", which contains the Forking Path novel.
I like most novels in Fiction. Borgess is great.
I meant of course "Tlon Uqbar Orbis Tertius". Orbid is a typo. Orbis
was the term which started this litlle sub-thread.
Sorry.
Bruno
PS There might be "¨" on the "o" of Tlon (Tlön). Not entirely sure of
the spelling. All that from personal memory, directly accessible from
my organic memories, as the book itself seems to be in some box zmong
boxes, I hope!

It was funny how philosophers like Borges (a novelist), David
Lewis, and Hugh Everett the 3rd got to the same conclusion. All
about the same time.

Does anyone know any phenomena in nature or science that

Does anything in physics come to mind, when refering to CA?
I think some chemical reactions are similar?
(By the way I love the "orbis" - immediately made me think of
Borges - but I'm guessing it was just a typo :)
