Calculating Roads NOT Taken

The ability to calculate a given reality and the moral values and emotions within it gives us two things - the ability to see that the different realities are related to each other by bracing off of each other in a fractal pattern like the branches in a tree, as one reality gives way to another.  This gives us the ability to calculate not only the branch, path or road taken within that given reality but the junction of where that path ends and branches off to another path or reality.  This gives us the ability to calculate not only the road taken but the ability to calculate the roads not taken
