The only way to know is to run a current through it.A parallel universe isn’t much different from a parallel electron shell. Hit it with a current and, Wham!, the valence shell is sharing electrons with underlying layers.But be careful. Too much current will seriously disrupt valence bonding and let out the magic smoke that makes everything work.
You really have to be.There is a separation of awareness, though.The self is compartmentalized.While acting as a person, her concerns are those of a person.When she acts as a sea squirt, her person concerns are all handled as a matter of course, and her only actions are to examine the flow of events and retain those significant to her existence. All the details of existence are handled by her people self, which has a separate consciousness and lives in an entirely different reality.
In that Parallel Universe, the Sea Squirt is mostly squirting around in the sea. How obscene! In This Universe here, things are mostly dull, or would be without Frog Applause.I think I can hear them now, applauding ever so politely!

She wonders if the Captain will make some scoundrel walk the plank today and he will fall on her side of the ship. Of course sharks and piranhas are on the opposite side.
There is a fine, nearly invisible line between contemplative introspection and just vegging out. But there is a line.See: Sonic Youth – Tunic (Song For Karen)To the untrained eye, I appear to be doing nothing.

See, squirt?Anything is possible when you parallel your universes rather than just drop ’em will-nilly like pick-up-sticks.

I’d like to think that somewhere there exists a parallel universe that has a happy version of me.

Her parallel universe sea squirt was probably a dead ringer for Virginia Woolf’s parallel universe sea squirt.

Odd she should do this since Virginia Woolf Sea Squirt NEVER wonders about any universe … not even her own!!!
