you people take it for granted that a (supernatural???) authority has
nothing else to do except making replicas of members of the Everything List.
And you observe, how good - or bad - its work is.

Bruno, List,
in awaked state. Yet I do distinguish dying and forgetting.
Let us say that we have a measure of continuation (of psychological)
identity from 1 to 0, where 1=full continuation and 0=death, and we
apply this measure from one OM to the next.
Then forgetting would be everything
