On what I call the "framework" view of laws, the motivation for dismissing the branch-systems proposal disappears, and it becomes a viable Boltzmann's postulate holds for all systems at all times must be false. world that when branch systems come into being, the objective probability Equivalently, the big-bang proposal supposes that there is a uniform probability distribution, on the standard measure, over the region of microconditions that are compatible with the present macrocondition, but further restricted to those microconditions that are compatible with the On the branch-systems proposal, at the moment that they become energetically isolated both take on microconditions according to the probability distribution given by Boltzmann's postulate. But once the microconditions for the world are specified for some particular time (say, at the beginning of the universe), isn't it the microlaws	./cache/work_kdhxjgyaxrgyfoirssuqua2nxm.pdf	./txt/work_kdhxjgyaxrgyfoirssuqua2nxm.txt
