Ah! You don't think that the collapse in one universe, creates one, in which the information is preserved? Not uncovers one, splits of a new clone, like an amoeba does. Perhaps there are universes that split off when a decision gets made where, where it is analogous to a data file. If this is so, then part of the multiverse is a relational database. Call it Oracle-1 Delta Googleplex. I have dibbs on the name. Patent Pending!
Collapse also doesn't conserve information. It generates new information - the specific way in which the collapse occurred, which adds some random bits to a value one could be constructing, and in any case adds that new state to the universe. Only the MWI preserves information afaics, by having the wave not collapse. -----Original Message----- From: LizR <[email protected]> To: everything-list <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Nov 19, 2014 5:39 pm Subject: Re: Two apparently different forms of entropy Collapse also doesn't conserve information.
