Yes, but remember Bruno and Russell consider the Relative "SSA" (RSSA).
Most of the worlds "containing Bruno and Russell" have "Bruno and
Russell" in most of their successor world.
Neither Bruno and Russell pretend this to be true concerning *all*
possible worlds!
The fact that I have (with comp) 2^aleph_0 immediate successors does
not prevent worlds "without me" to have as many successors, perhaps
more.
