As I understand it the "Urth=Earth" arguments tend to boil down to "Yes, this
is the future of OUR universe" or "This is the future of a Universe Very Much
like ours, but we are the previous/next cycle in the recursive Heiro loop, so
there are 'improvements'."

The first seems most likely, but only from an Occam's Razor type "why assume
this is a different iteration" standpoint.
