My idea was that each human brain constructs its own memory of what happened between jumps—and these can differ wildly, as if each person saw a different possible world. All the laws of physics and conservation laws held only as rough averages over possible paths between jumps, but that the brain ignores this—so if time jumps from traffic to two cars crashed, then 50 different people might remember 47 different crashes, with 3 not remembering “seeing” a crash at all—and the actual physical state of the cars afterward won’t be the same as any of them. It could even end up with car A crashed into car B, but car B didn’t crash at all—violating assorted conservation laws.
