This span of time bookended by unconsciousness which we have described we can call a tentum, which is Latin for "to stretch" or "to extend." Whether you wake up in your body tomorrow or not, this tentum is what it you have now and it will last until you it ends with a loss of consciousness.

This could mean that every tentum you as egonaut are in a different body and neither you nor anyone else would ever know the difference.

This could be the case.

I am not saying this is certain on a more or less daily basis, but I do find it very compelling that this would occur if you were teleported using some sci-fi instrument, or if you could completely stop and then reignite brain activity.

However, if egonauts can switch between tentums, then every day you may wake up as someone or something else at a different time and you would never be the wiser.

If this is how experiential reality actually unfolds, then it doesn't necessarily change the infinity journey as a whole, but it would make the transition from tentum to tentum far choppier and more erratic if they could be viewed from outside.

This possibility we can call Ego Divisus, Latin for "Self Divided."


We can call this sort of slow but ultimate fairness Tarda Paritas or "Delayed Justice."

This can be opposed to how quickly fairness could come if Ego Divisus is the case, and as such Celer Paritas or "Swift Justice" is possible.

While Celer Paritas is still possible with Ex Deletas, it is extraordinarily unlikely from one emergence to the next. With Ego Divisus, however, the odds should be greatest for a switch to occur to between points close in spatial and temporal proximity, of which in the vastness of the Ultraverse, all of us are neighbors relatively speaking.
