What makes them have to be only slightly different? Can one of the slightly different universes be different in that its quantum laws allow for radical differences? If not, why? When > the "Craig Weinberg" on that subspace dies, he's dead. What is the difference between being in a coma for five years and being dead as far as the rules of MWI succession go? How does the universe know that I'm not dead?

If I shoot a gamma ray into your brain in a spot that I know will make you, in one subspace, join a Wiccan Heresy list, does that mean that I will have had to have a gamma ray or some other influence making me send the gamma ray into you?
