Dear George:

I agree. In my case I think this is required to isolate SAS from their future.
I see consciousness as an observation of a transition by a subsystem of a
universe that has a distribution of future states that is less random than
the distribution of future states for the rest of the universe it is a part
of.

Such sub systems should spontaneously arise in any universe but will not
endure in all universes.

Transitions are driven by the need to avoid a selected everything - no
information - and the everything's inability to determine its own stability
which causes it to oscillate with the Nothing.
