No, it's not a quantum wave function. Gnarliness really is observably 100% in each of its non-slippy values at each instant (assuming it isn't slippy). I don't think R2197's uncertainty clause applies either. I see the given action as straightforwardly possible. I guess what I'm saying is, don't REMAND. Pavitra
