Forking Paths

While being thrown into the middle of story in the way "Forking Paths" did was a bit disorienting; the story slowly centered itself. I really enjoyed the fact that the story began with a simple tale of an Asian German spy and morphed into a complex commentary on reality. The idea that every possibility exists simultaneously is incredibly intriguing since we perceive a single set of events. The Many World Hypothesis disputes the idea of wave function collapse and postulates that their is an objective world where everything exists regardless of individual subjective observers. This Mario interpretation attempts to convey the idea of multiple simultaneous universes. Distressing.
