I don't know what CFJ system means, but if it is the Justice or Judgment
system, my response would be to enlighten you concerning the nature of the
problem we had with Woobleverses. The difficulty that made the Justice
system insufficient was that the Justice system itself was split between two
Oracles. Wooble was one, and I the other. In one "quantum state" I assigned
the question to Billy P., and in the other "quantum state" it was assigned
to nobody, but instead Zotted. More happened after that, but the main
problem was the duality of the Justice system, which meant that two
different and conflicting judgments could have been made officially. We
could have ended up with 2 "Woobleverses" or even none at all in the end.
