It must be an illusion. Either that or MWI is an illusion. Doesn't
Bruno say that matter is a dream or illusion? Richard
I think MWI and block universe aren't even illusions, they are just
ideas to defend mechanism against the fact that reality is only
partially mechanistic.
Once we assume mechanism, we can explain why reality needs to be only
partially mechanistic. I think that you are confusing total computable
with partial computable. The universality of the Turing machine makes
her behavior not total computable. In fact it makes such machine much
more a new unknown, that we can invite at the discussion table, than
anything like an answer.
