17. It is unclear the extent to which the velocities of individual points can be chosen at random, as discussed by Vilenkin in.

22. It is worth noting that this is completely independent of the ratio of the lifetimes of the states, which might be arbitrarily large.
23. For example, if the L process describe below in Sec. 5 occurs, it might mediate transitions away from negative- or zero-energy vacua. A heuristic argument in favor of tunneling from negative "big crunch" vacua was given in. Finally, we note that after tunneling to a negative vacuum, the spacetime is an open FRW model with energy density. Thus there may conceivably be tunneling before the "crunch" even if such tunneling is impossible from pure AdS or Minkowski space.
