Pierz, I think we discussed Ron Garrett's talk on this list before. You should be able to find something searching the archive.
I greatly appreciated his view and invited him to discuss them with us on this list and also invited him to check out Bruno's paper since I found a lot of similarity. I think in many ways Garrett's view is like that of Heize-Dieter Zeh, known for his multi consciousness interpretation, but who also was an Everettian.

I don't follow the maths, but I kind of got the gist. What intrigued me was his interpretation of QM and I'm wondering if anyone can throw any more light on it. He makes a lot of jumps which are obviously clear in his mind but hard to follow. He says that MWI is supportable by the maths, but that he prefers a "zero universes" interpretation, according to which we are classical simulations in a quantum computer. I'm not sure I follow this. I mean, I can follow the idea of being a classical simulation in a quantum computer, but I can't see how this is different from MWI, except by the manoeuvre of declaring other universes to be unreal because they can never practically interact with 'our' branch. I guess what interested me was the possibility of a coherent alternative to MWI (because frankly MWI scares the willies out of me), but in spite of what he said, I couldn't see what it was... > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
