For "generic", try "of largest measure within the
plenitude". Measure, basically, is the number of
observers with a set. Thus if almost all observers
were supermen within the plenitude, us being regular
Joes would falsify the TOE. As to how to calculate
the measure distribution, see the archive for some
ideas, and tell us if you find a better solution.
