I could have experienced periods of causal
stability mixed with periods of HP. I could still communicate during
one
of the stable periods.

Yes, yes, yes. I am objecting here to everythingism -- mathematical MW
--. not physical MW.

Measure is a lot more difficult in MMW. It has to be
deprived by apriori necessity. Do you have
a solution?

Some are ruled out -- because quantum laws are still laws -- some
aren't. PMW is narrower than MMW, but still broader than SW.

1. If everything is contingent, there are contingent facts.

2. If everything is necessary...it is a contingent fact that
everything is necessary...so there is still at least one
contingent fact.

3. You can't avoid contingency.
