Refuted?? As I said before if you really had complete information
then you could make 2 predictions:
1) I Bruno Marchal will write in my diary "I Bruno Marchal am now in
Washington and only Washington".
2) I Bruno Marchal will write in my diary "I Bruno Marchal am now in
Moscow and only Moscow".
Afterwards both diaries can be shown to anyone who is interested
proving that there was no indeterminacy and the prediction is
confirmed to be completely correct.
But from the 1-pov, we know in advance that those two prediction are
incompatible. So you can make one more which is "1) OR 2)".
Things become paradoxical only if you make the assumption that there
can only be one Bruno Marchal, therefore the assumption must be
untrue.
Things become contradictory when you confuse 1 pov and 3 pov, leading
to "1) and 2)" which is non sense.
The assumption is not that there is only one Bruno Marchal, but that
all those Bruno Marchal, whoever they are will still each feel to be
only one of them. "Oh I am the one in Moscow, and not the one in
Washington, and I was unable to predict that fact, unless using a "or".

Right, and the prediction is easy to make and it is perfect.
1) or 2). But that leads to the indeterminacy.
> you sill confuse 1 and 3 views.
You keep repeating that over and over like a mantra, but there is a
possibility it is you that is confused.
It is up to you to show this, but, here again, you deny that after the
duplication, whoever you will be, will recognize that he was not able
top have predicted with certainty the particular outcome. This can
only be "I will be in such city", and this will be refuted by the one
in the other city. With comp, we agree that there are both "bruno
marchal", and so the prediction was wrong. It was a selection in
disguise.
