摘要

This paper investigates histories in Branching Space–Time (BST) structures. We start by identifying necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of free histories, and then we turn to the intangibility problem, and we show that the existence of histories in BST structures is equivalent to the axiom of choice, yielding the punchline “history gives us choice”.
