I have not yet seen this film though I intend to;
I agree with the idea that we choose paths from
the many which are equally real.
I also agree with your suggestion, and would
expect a SAI to take a keen interest in this. I
can imagine a SAI 'leaking' by leaving this
universe to avoid the heat death or other
unguessable reasons.
