It's tiresome to type "computationalism" ten times in a post, just as it's tiresome to type "Many Worlds Intepretation" over and over. Hence we abbreviate. But my point is this: Do you accept that MWI is a deterministic theory? If so do you accept that it also predicts apparent randomness in observations at the quantum level? How do you explain this? Do you accept that randomness arises because of the duplication/division of the observer? Because if you accept that, you just accepted "FPI", whether or not you like the acronym. If you don't, then I'm afraid your grasp of MWI is poor.
