Bruno,

What is meant by the informational interpretations? Is that something like the one Ron Garrett presented?

It's the view most advocated by Asher and Fuchs, that the WF is just an encoding of what the experimenter knows about the physical system based on its preparation.

Yes. It is close to Pauli and Heisenberg's idea that the quantum state does not describe a "real physical state", but only a relative knowledge state.

The computationalist shift "worlds ==> dreams" should please to both them, and to the MWI defenders, but of course, it can also makes them both nervous.

Many points of view overlap much more than what their defenders believe. The problem is that they don't try to define terms like "information", "observers", "physical", etc. I would say that more than 50% of the apparent disagreement are really due to vocabulary problem. It is unavoidable in inter and trans-disciplinary studies.

The informational and MW together got 42% of the vote, equal to Copenhagen.

Interesting. Thanks.

A bit sad, also.

If it takes time to understand the MWI of the SWE (which writes it almost explicitly), I guess it will take time to understand the universal machine's many worlds interpretation of arithmetic.
