ASSA is absolute self sampling assumption... it means there exists an absolute measure for every moments, ASSA states that your measure is always decreasing... ASSA is absurd because ASSA predicts you shouldn't find yourself alive now. RSSA is relative self sampling assumption and state that measure only make sense relative to your current state, there doesn't exist an absolute measure.
