Thanks for your attempt to modify my paper in order to make it more English
and for your comments implied there. It is difficult for Japanese to
understand the usage of the articles "the" and "a" and the distinction of the
plural and singular. I thank you for your helps. I attach new time_VI.tex.
There are some points I did not follow your modifications, where I think the
modification changes my meaning or implication:

Thus we have to assume that any human observer sees a part
 or subsystem $L$ of the universe and never has knowledge of the total
 Hamiltonian $H$ in \eq{1} by his observation. Here the

To get the Hamiltonian and to know it are different in my context. The former
includes e.g. feeling the Hamiltonian, not just knowing it exactly. In fact
physicists have some sense to find Hamiltonians or Lagrangians before knowing
it.

that might only be known by ``God." In other words, a consequence

Here is an implication that not "only" God gets the Hamiltonian, but also we
can "feel" it in some state. I am not saying some trance state.

 This is the same as stating that the interaction does not

The addition of "stating " seems to change the statement slightly.

"in general this does not hold" means "this does not hold" but as I wrote to
Stephen, there is a possibility that "this does hold" so I use "in generic."

The balance is a unique balance that the universe has. So I used "the" here. I
am though not sure with the usage of article. The "only" might look
inconsistent to what I wrote above: "not "only" God gets the Hamiltonian, but
also we can "feel" it in some state." But this in fact means that we can be
*the same as* the universe in some case, so "only" does not contradict. The
balance is the universe itself (or another name of it), and it is not the one
to be accessed in my context.

I add my new acknowledgements whose English is improved according to your
comment. As I was not aware of your surname during the communication in the
list, I could not include your name in the previous versions. I thank any
member who reads this list, which helps us in developing our thoughts.

{\bf Acknowledgements.} I wish to express my appreciation to
 the members of Time Mailing List at http://www.kitada.com/
 for giving me the opportunity to consider the present problem.
 Special thanks are addressed to Lancelot R. Fletcher, Stephen
 Paul King, Benjamin Nathaniel Goertzel, Bill Eshleman,
 Matti Pitkanen, whose stimulating discussions with me on
 the list have led me to consider the present problem.
 I especially thank Stephen and Bill for their comments
 on the earlier drafts to improve my English and descriptions.

Best wishes,
Hitoshi
