Well....maybe not....

OK - I'm just going to dump all this stuff out there, mostly from SI articles and Science and Spirit, and then try to relate the Singulation process to it...

'Special relativity theory also states that physical laws are invariant for moving observers, but space and time are not. But if space and time are combined in the proper way, the changes in time due to relativity exactly cancel the changes in space, which results in an "invariant interval" of the combination. "

Schrodinger's cat paradox = symmetry is broken when observer looks at cat

The existance of Level III depends on one crutical assumption: that the time evolution of the wave function is unitary.

Hugh Everett III - many worlds interpretation - mathmatical object called a wave function = according to the cat guy's equation, this state evolves over time that is called unitary.
Wave function rotates in an abstract infinite-dimensional space, called Hilbert Space. This wave function evolves in deterministic manner.
Ol' Hugh predicted that one classical reality gradually splits into superpositions of many such realities...with probabilties in exact agreement with those from the old collapse postulate...This superposition of classical worlds is the Level III multiverse.

Decoherence process = mimics wave function collapse while preserving unitarity.



Most people think of time as a way to describe change.
