Scientists say the auxin has an indirect effect on buds on the side of the stem to prevent branching.

Therefore, for simple branching programs, the length of time, the complexity the code, is what we would call constant.

因此，对于简单的分支程序，运行的时间长度，算法的复杂度，也就是我们说的常数。

But if we accept the no branching rule, we're saying whether or not we've got identity depends on what's happening elsewhere.

但如果我们接受了无分支规则，就等于赞同，我们是否有认同感依赖于在别处发生的事情。

These are just a few things that we've accomplished, but there are lots and lots of ideas and lots of branching out that any teacher could do.

这只是我们所完成的一小部分，对于教师而言，还有很多创意,和分支可以发掘。

OK. Now. Having added this in, I have branching instructions.

好，现在我们已经讲了这些内容，讲过了分支指令。

But in the science fiction story where there's a duplicate,it says, if there's branching,the no branching rule comes in.

但在科幻作品里，复制的案例是存在的，分裂出现时，在无分支的规定下。

So the body theorist can avoid the problem of fission, avoid the problem of duplication by adding the no branching rule.

肉体主义者能避开分裂问题，通过无分支原则，避免复制导致的问题。

So as I say,the soul theory can at least give us an answer that avoids the no branching rule.

耶鲁公开课 - 死亡课程节选

Well,maybe what the soul theorist would have to do at this point is accept the--da-ta-da--the no branching rule.

So to really add to this, we need to have branching programs.

So we revise the personality theory to say, the secret to personal identity is having the same personality-- provided that there's no branching.

I'm inclined to think that the key to personal identity is having the same body, as long as there's no branching,as long as there's no splitting.

我倾向于觉得个人认同感取决于同样的身体，前提是没有分支和分裂。

Now all we have to decide is,was the branching rule satisfied or violated?

With the no branching rule,identity ceases to be a strictly internal affair.

The problem with--what drove the personality theory into the no branching rule, implausible as it may be,was the fact that your personality is like software,and it can be copied.

The trouble was,it seems the no branching rule seems very counter-intuitive.

耶鲁公开课 - 死亡课程节选

Well,the trouble is,we didn't find the no branching rule very plausible.

麻烦在于，我们不能接受分支规则。

The no branching rule seems rather bizarre in its own right.

So where the original personality theory said,same personality, that's good enough for being the same person, the new version throws in a no-competitors clause, throws in a no branching clause.

Remember last time, I said that there's different kinds of complexity in our code, and I suggested for simple branching programs, the amount of time it takes to run that program is, in essence, bounded by the number of instructions, because you only execute each instruction at most once.

但是这里有个很重要的点,记得上节课，我提过在我们的代码中，有不同种类的复杂度，而且我还说了对于简单的分支程序,运行这种程序需要的总体时间,大体上，是和指令的数目相关的,因为每个指令只会被执行最多一次。
