"...an "observer moment" or a "thought" are infinitely many threads and there is no reference by which you can define cutting them all at "the same time"."
I agree that there is no natural preference for a basis of the threads, but ISTM that each Intelligence has its very own basis of biases which it "determines" as its optimal preference in a moment by moment adaptation on surfaces of constant time. There is some merit in the capacity to "look ahead" over multiple moves, but from what I have studied so far, there are rapidly diminishing returns when one is considering environments that are not fixed - as real world environments tend to be.
