The non-cul-de-sac conjecture is more the decision of not taking into
account the dead end (which by comp exists everywhere). Tha fact that
there is always "no-dead-end" states is more a consequence of the comp
assumption (betting I'm some sound lobian machine).

I have also a problem with the expression "staying in the same
branche": you always split or differentiate on 2^aleph_0 branches. Do
you mean branches looking the same from the first person perspective?
Time is the first person perspective I would say. That can be shown
necessary when recast through the self-reference logic (G, G*) and
their intensional variant (S4Grz, the Z and X logics, ...). I could
explain with the modal logics).
