I would say that what is really unutterable is that one might *feel* to
be in two places at once. Of course, the two reconstitutions in W and M
are fully legitimate continuations of the one in Brussels (this is even
the root if the relative and local/immediate first person
indeterminacy). To feel to be in two places at once is against logic,
arithmetic, geometry, psychology, evidences, ...
