Um these are obviously all very speculative.
I think what we're in agreement is that given the structure of this world line and the structure of the brain in this world line, I think we're in agreement that
It makes sense that at no point along the world line would this individual be aware of m you know, of their memories that they're gonna have in the future and in the past.
There's just no point along the world line where their brain contains those structures.
I think some uh viewers in the comments may point to how these sorts of questions have been handled in fiction.
In The Watchman with Doctor Manhattan who experiences time in this more holistic way.
Yes.
In um Arrival, the film which was based on the Ted Chang short story.
Um
And I of course recommend all of these to people.
They're all very interesting.
Um it's course in those those cases, at at any given moment along the world line of those characters
their brains seem to contain information about the future and the past.
And I think we're in agreement that
At one moment
the brain structure of the person in question doesn't contain information about what is to come.
Um so this is where I I have trouble understanding what it would even m mean to feel like you could experience multiple times, given that they don't appear to be the brain structures at any any
If y at any point in the in the person's world line there there there aren't the brain structures that would seem to encode information about what has yet to happen.
I feel like you're channeling Kurt Vonnegut here in Slaughterhouse Five.
Yes, exactly.
