If total-wave branches become disjoint in the relevant environment configuration variables and the actual environment lies within one branch, the subsystem's conditional wave function is proportional to that branch's subsystem factor. Persistent separation makes its autonomous use an effective description. No term of the universal wave function has literally been deleted. Possible recombination prevents treating every temporary packet separation as irreversible collapse.[ref]
