"...So infinite regression is the moment when our artist,
having regressed to the point of infinity, himself becomes a part
of the picture he has painted and is both the Observer and the observed.
What, in that peculiar condition, would he observe if he were observing Time?
He would perceive that
Time is like a freeway with an infinite number of 'lanes'
all leading from the past into the future.
But not into the same future.
A driver in Lane 'A' may crash, while a driver in Lane 'B' survives.
It follows that a driver, by changing lanes, can change his future."
