Brent, are you replying from a mobile? I’m still receiving your replies, as others are,
on my private email. That’s what happens to me when I try to reply using my iPhone. The
"reply to all" button is missing. I’ll reply to your remarks on the list if you
post it there...

Thanks for these clarifications Bruce. I find your explanations to be very
lucid and helpful - they also confirm my own understanding. IIRC, you weren't a
particular fan of MWI when I last conversed with you on this list. I wonder if
you'd care to comment on my original argument on this thread - which has of
course now been swamped by the usual brawls. Does not a single history + the
physical insignificance of the notion of a current moment mean that there is
also only a single possible future?
I don't see how that follows. In the usual model of forking in the future
direction every current moment has a single history, but multiple futures.
And if the future is predetermined in this way, isn't this a serious issue for
single universe models of QM? How can the outcome of quantum events be both
inevitable and random?
Having a single future isn't the same as being determined. A single future in
which situation A is sometimes followed by B and sometimes by C is still random.
