That's correct, but we assume usually "classical" quantum mechanics.
Then, even if GR digitalizes the access to futures, it seems to me
that QM will still provide the rooms for immortality (not
necessarily a good news). Then, in such reasoning, QM uses comp, and
comp by itself leads to many forms of immortalities, if I can say.
But does comp lead to immortality from *every* state? Are there no
cul-de-sac worlds?
If so, is this like saying that the infinite sheaf of computations
supporting a given observer moment can't all halt simultaneously?
In my answer top Brent, I was alluding to the simple fact that no
diary can contain the statement "I am dead". To die, in some absolute
sense, does not belong to the possible first person experience.
But, with comp, the infinities of histories cannot halt
"simultaneously". That does not really make sense, as the time is an
internal construct in each coherent histories. Then it is hard to
imagine why they should all halt, and what does that mean, given that
they all differentiate "all the time". If the time of death of someone
is the same in all possible realities, that would be a new and curious
law of physics. F=kmM/r^2 & Mister X dies at 42. :)
