WRT CEV: What happens if my CEV is different than yours? What's the plan for resolving differences between different folks' CEVs? Does the FAI put us all in our own private boxes where we each think we're getting our CEVs, take a majority vote, or what?
Then the "coherent" qualifier does not apply, does it? Are you asking how to construct CEV from the multitude of PEVs (P for personal)?
Presumably those folks whose PEV does not mind boxing will get boxed, and the rest will have to be reconciled into the CEV, if possible. Or maybe commensurate PEVs get boxed together into partial CEV worlds.
The hard part is what to do with those whose PEV is incompatible with other people having different ideas from theirs. Eh, maybe not that hard. Trickery or termination is always an option when nothing better is available.
