Could you bunch up the discussion by defining the meaning of  
"possible" in the best way that you can.    (03)

The best definition I've found is combinatorialism: that what is  
actual tomorrow is some recombination of the elements of the actual  
world today. But, when it is supposed that Universe is not 100%  
deterministic, only one member of the collection of all  
combinatorially possible worlds of tomorrow will be actual tomorrow.  
This has the advantage that the collection of possible worlds does not  
have to be equated with the collection of logically possible worlds.    (04)
