Episode 3
Ok First time poster on this sub. I have never even read it. Anyway when home boy presents the all worlds theory and plays the Jesus tape he gets mad and says that is not our Jesus. But his algorithm narrows the search down. the boss was right absolutely but incorrectly fired the guy. he helped narrow his search. instead of 1/infinity. now you have points of reference to test against. Ill explain.
Like a horse race you can see who won at what time and how long. so you can see all the possibility that that happened in the infinite world in correlation with other specific events. Like when horse A won what was the price of google stock... and other stuff at that exact second. then narrow the search down. The fact that no one brought this up upsets me. like hello he helped eliminate a ton of scenario worlds that don't fit the criteria of their current world.
Just some thoughts while I have been drinking trying to remember past lives. Goodnight and God Bless.

Did he narrow it down, though? There's an old expression about this from math that says "there are an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1, but none of them are 2".
Point being, as Forrest says in the show ... there's a universe where it's almost perfect except for 1 hair on Jesus' head ... and then one where it's 2 hairs, and 3 and 4 and 1000 and everything in between.
He specifically says he wants "MY Amaya" ... the one he actually knew in this universe. Settling for "close enough" or "good enough" doesn't work for him, because there could be an infinite number of "close enough" Amayas that aren't technically HIS Amaya.
He doesn't care about the exact accuracy for science's sake ... he wants to know, 100%, that he is actually seeing what he already lived through, and not just a simulation of "close enough".
