Yes. And this already comes from the fact that the
"indistinguishabilitty/distinguishabilitty" crux is itself relative. By
loosing memory something distinguishable can become indistinguishable,
augmenting the class of (normal) self-consistent extensions.

Then I am open that from the 1 point of view, fusion increases measure,
duplication decreases measure; although from the 3 pov it is the
contrary.
