Dear Alastair: I think you still miss the thrust of my comment.
As directly as I can say it: The Everything is the ensemble of all counterfactuals. The counterfactuals cancel out resulting in no information in the Everything. The Everything and the Nothing are cancelling counterfactuals and thus are in the ensemble. The Everything is a member of itself. So: The Everything contains infinitely many [uncountably so] nested copies of itself. Thus it contains an uncountable number of logical venues [its nested selves]. Therefore: All types of universes are present an uncountably infinite number of times in any of the nested Everythings. That is there is no preponderance [an extrinsic property of a universe] information in keeping with a definition of an Everything as information free. This seems to comply with NAP since the logical reason for the above is to maintain the zero information mantra. Either there is a reason why we are in this kind of universe beyond pure chance or there is not. If there is then where did that information come from if there is no information in the ensemble?
