Pick answers to :
(a) Yes, but isn't it a classical (e.g. pre-quantum) fallacy, to have world
possibility not concieved as a matter of viewpoint ?
(b) You mean you expect Guido to finish his life as immortal software ?
(c) If by hypothesis you were to decide to mean (b), do you think this should
suffice to make (a) otherwise irrelevant in context, from logical grounds ?
(d) what bounds can you prove, to the cardinality of the class
of expected states of ultimate fact equivalent to that state of ultimate
fact hoped-for in (b), for the purpose of maintaining invariance of your
answer to (c) ?
(e) what should happen if we exchange "expected ultimate statement of fact"
for "expected state of ultimate fact" in (d), together with a coordinated
transform of "that state of ultimate fact hoped-for in (b)" to "the
statement of hope in (b)" ?
