Footnotes are embedded texts that ask the reader to read ergodically, and they are very much distractions.
Excerpt from Calembouria (in collaboration with Anthony Metivier) 2010
-
If the quantum state evolves in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, it evolves ergodically through a torus of phases, and will exhibit all of the usual problems of Boltzmann brains and the like (as Dyson, Kleban, and Susskind have emphasized).

So either the universe is not eternal — so that it doesn’t have time to fluctuate ergodically throughout phase space — or its set of states is not bounded — so that it evolves forever, but doesn’t sample every possible configuration.
