Is that assuming that QM uncertainty increases to the future but not
the past:?

In QM, the state evolves unitarily, which conserves total
probability. However, not all observations are compatible with being
an OM of the person of interest (ie the observer dies in some
branches).
Couldn't the person have been born at different times too? QM
Hamiltonians are time symmetric. If you try to infer the past you also
have unitary evolution - just in the other direction. So I'm wondering
where the arrow of time comes from in this view?

Consequently, the total measure of observer moments must
diminish as a function of OM age, roughly given by the observed 3rd
person mortality curve. After 70-80 years, the total measure diminishes
rapidly, but not to zero (assuming no cul-de-sac).
Hence my statement - the measure must be biased towards being a baby.
