### Yes, this would be what I am driving at. Eternal chaotic inflation could
have an impact on the measure of sim-building (S), living far away/long
after inflation vs. more primitive civilizations N, appearing right after
inflation of a region of space (e.g. about 13.7 billion years later). The
volume of new space could be always larger than the volume of old space,
measured over all bubbles and their ratio could remain constant over time,
producing a stable ratio of S/N. With sufficiently large inflation, it could
be true that N>>S.
