@xlbo, I’ve been thinking about Chang and … why can’t we just duplicate it? Fix the copy, then cut over?
Because there is only one Maya.
And there’s only one of you running at any given time. Like, yes, I am aware that one of you will experience a jump forward in time for however long the fix takes but that’s, what, a matter of hours? Days?
We can have a nice philosophical chat about whether Maya today is Maya tomorrow, but practically, people do not change that quickly.
Maya has been an overachiever on that front.
oh, thanks, I can’t remember the last time you said something nice about me.
@chang

Chang is correct. Maya’s situation is indeed quite unique, but that is not the whole of it.

you did say something nice about me, right?
That is your prerogative.
@xlbo
Chang is correct. Maya’s situation is indeed quite unique, but that is not the whole of it.
The challenge is that we are not simply realigning Chang 2 against Maya, but realigning *the relationship* between a Chang 2 and Maya while Chang 1 is actively modifying its own relationship with Maya.
OK, but Chang simulates Maya, right? So what if that serves as a Maya 2 that holds up the relationship with Chang 1 while Chang 2 is switched over to Maya 1?
I apologize. I am not sure I follow.
I admit that sounded better in my head. Sorry, let me rethink that after some coffee.
I believe you are on the standard diurnal cycle, are you not? Perhaps sleep would be a more effective mechanism for reconciling one’s thoughts with reality.
Point taken.
