Hi Georges:

I was responding to Bruno's comments. However, I
would have the same response to your
position. Why that selection? The basic idea is
that any such down select as to the possible
basis of a or all universes is information and
why make things that complex? If you look at my
posts over the last few years my model does not
make any selection as far as I can tell. [I am
still refining it.] The set of all divisions of
my list includes all possible foundations for
states of universes and only requires that they
follow logically from the consequences of
dividing the list. There seems no good reason
why my list is not the same size as the largest
of lists so it would be countably infinite. The
set of all of its divisions [its set of subsets]
is a power set so would be uncountably
infinite. That seems plenty of room. The only
reasonable exclusion I can think of would be
those divisions that would describe internally
illogical universe states such as those that
would contain an object that was simultaneously
completely spherical and completely cubical.

I see no reason why my model would exclude either
Bruno's basis [if I understand it correctly] or
what I believe yours to be as two out of its
infinite variety of universe underpinnings.
