I agree that there can be a multiplicity of simultaneous
splits. This was a mistake I realized later.

What I indicated was all paths to completion. I suspect that there
may be sequences within the Everything that would not be on such paths.
Yes I did mean an unlimited number of Nothings in the
Everything. For the Everything to contain just one copy of the
information in it would be a selection. Rather it needs to contain
an unlimited number of copies.
