Is the phrase "correctly temporally sequenced" even a necessary phrase? I mean, if you imagine there is a set of them where the "frames" are each at some random point in time or space, then what really changes? It's like if you had a simulation of the universe, the passing of time inside wouldn't have any particular relationship to the passing of time outside because the former is part of what's being simulated.

So if you had random sequenced ordering of Boltzmann Brains that add up to the experience of a single life experience, does that collection experience having a life?
If a random stone formation somewhere in the universe happens to look exactly like a statue of Abraham Lincoln, is it a statue of Abraham Lincoln?
Actually, more like "if a million random stone formations somewhere in the universe would be a statue of Abraham Lincoln if put together, are they such a statue?"
