Any way- answer the post or shut up!
Can a being at position 13.7 bly west of here, see one 13.7 east?

Jim,

You are not seeing the universe as it is, but rather as it was,
with distance concurrently representing time slices. Each
successively more distant sphere you look at represents how
the universe looked in successively more distant pasts.

I understand that entirely. That is what what makes the age and size
of the universe contradictary in BBT- in one breath they claim the age
as 13.7by , which is oxymoronic to that light having left that
position at that time. The age would need to be more than double, even
allowing for an expansion at light speed.

Consider that when that when some of the most distant light
was made this earth didn't yet exist. We are seeing snapshots
of many different pasts, none of which exists any longer.
And in fact, when light left the most distant, and many
even closer places, this earth didn't even exist yet, but
we have come along to intercept some of that light.

Yes

Considering a universe which folds over on itself, 13.7 bly
east and 13.7 bly west of here might be closer neighbors
than you realize.

Just when I thought that you were making sense, you come up with this
clanger!!...that the edges might be closer than the half way point!

The universe doesn't have to make sense to you. It is up to
you to make sense of the universe that is, and it is a
universe which is proving to be difficult to understand.

Yes, but it's time to try other than BB tweaking.

PS Have you seen evidence of galaxies previously calculated at, say,
1by distance, passing in front of another at 500 million? I wont be
surprised

Cheers
