it got near the time travel interpretation for me when importantly
potential wrongness / small inaccuracy is considered
i mean basically, we'd only like to teleport into times that are known for certain (one simple approach could be to set a norm of teleporting into recorded time )--
but that's not quite the same .......... i mean if you're teleporting 4 light years away going 4 years back in time is different. oh! and it trades off certainty of your state for certainty of your destination's.
so when things aren't perfectly modeled we enter the same old spacd of handling "updates" for shifted timelines and such
so, what the dictators'd have you do is to have your body and memories rewritten to keep the product perfect, nobody the wiser
but of course what surgical crimes and such show is that communication, consent, and multiple options are needed. people will mostly choose memory rewriting once it can be done hyperaccurately and the suspicious people who don't all confirm everything is up and up
what kind of--
-- options are interesting or more importantly easy to implement? unsure immediately so, it's easiest for the destination universe to model you per your highest likelihood, i suppose. this might mean you being Politely Informed that you were incorrectly modeled for the past 4 years and all these different events are the real situation that an accurate teleport would have actually produced. you then have a chance of becoming a Time Activist increasing the accuracy of modeling between timelines or the warnings and limits of new technology in dangerous ways. - but, a better solution is that a teleportation channel needs to be formed prior to teleportation -- something where modeling of you remotely and your destination locally reach the point of certainty pr--
