In fact I think the many worlds theory is isomorphic to Zen Buddhism. Of course, that can't be true, since Zen masters seem to say that one cannot explain enlightenment with words, if if what I say is true, then I just have. Of course, the Zen masters could be wrong. This is not to say that I believe in either the many worlds theory or Zen, but is sure is interesting. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
