I don't see why this should be so. Your consciousness should be able to jump
between branches, between physical locations and across long periods of
time. I have not made up my mind whether it can also jump backwards in time,
i.e. if a moment can be experienced as being in your future when in the real
world it is actually implemented in the past.
