Yes, and as the branches multiply, so does the energy.

I doubt this, but eventually this will depend on how we define energy. I doubt a photon needs to double his energy to go through two slits, and I doubt Shor algorithm needs energy to handle 10^500 parallel superposition state. Energy is a local relative (gauge) notion, which I am not sure can be easily applied to the whole configuration space, which energy can be put a zero.

Of course with computationalism there is only an arithmetical reality, and all physicalness is a view from inside. All branches of all computations including the one with oracle are run in the arithmetical reality, and it is clear, imo, that energy is only an internal relative notion. Of course we need to justify why the reversible computations win the limit measure "game".

It seems, yes. In our branch. But not in the physical reality as a whole, where information and energy are constant, and arbitrary I would say.

Energy is not constant in the MWI multiverse.

Energy is not constant in a general-relativistic universe.

I believe energy is approximately conserved within a branch of the multiverse, in the MWI view? The "approximately" being because branches are only approximately defined?
