Perils of Scanference

any on our list of enemy front organizations—built a reticulator
capable of enmeshing immediately future possible outcomes from a
single hidden random occurrence, only one of which was presented
to him. As those outcomes formed a subset of every small-scale
perception in his own brain resulting from that original occurrence,
he was able to demonstrate what seemed like extra-sensory
perception. In fact, the helmet he wore during this experiment used
available metamaterials and off-the-shelf electronics to bring into his
visual cortex that subset of images only one of which can normally be
seen. Effectively he was able for an instant to gather in divergent but
equally likely effects from the same cause; that divergence is
otherwise prohibited to a perceiver on a single world line of space-
time by inviolable physical law.
Gen. Esel: If you say so. But how does this affect our military
capability?

Dr. Silberfisch: The implications of multiverse include a constant
hiving off of quantum possibilities, each of which has its own
possible consequences. Thus an infinity of infinities, the points of
which are linked via normal entropic causality on a vertical line and
via quantum possibility across a horizontal line in a Minkowski
diagram. Here, look at this simplified diagram of possibility.
