it got near the time travel interpretation for me when importantly potential wrongness / small inaccuracy is considered
i mean basically, we'd only like to teleport into times that are known for certain (one simple approach could be to set a norm of teleporting into recorded time )-- but that's not quite the same .......... i mean if you're teleporting 4 light years away going 4 years back in time is different. oh! and it trades off certainty of your state for certainty of your destination's. so when things aren't perfectly modeled we enter the same old spacd of handling "updates" for shifted timelines and such so, what the dictators'd have you do is to have your body and memories rewritten to keep the product perfect, nobody the wiser but of course what surgical crimes and such show is that communication, consent, and multiple options are needed. people will mostly choose memory rewriting once it can be done hyperaccurately and the suspicious people who don't all confirm everything is up and up
