How > does it deal with entanglement, for example? Entanglement is just correlation across universes. If we have an ensemble of universes in half of which electron A is spin-up and electron B is spin-down and in the other half of which electron A is spin-down and electron B is spin-up, if an observer in the ensemble examines their local copy of electron A, then B, or vice versa, they will see opposite spins every time. On the other hand until they examine one or the other, they don't know which half of the ensemble they're in and so whichever they test first appears to be spin-up or spin-down completely at random. -- public final class JSnarker extends JComponent A JSnarker is an NNTP-aware component that asynchronously provides snarky output when the Ego.needsPuncturing() event is fired in cljp.
