I would argue that the history of science tells us that humans tend to err on the side of assuming too much uniqueness in what they observe.
I agree. Despite even Nature illustrates how much she likes to do things in the many: many atoms, many water molecules, many planets, stars, galaxies, ... The mathematical lady pushes this bad habits in the transfinite.
Everett theory is shocking, cf Brice DeWitt shock when he get that he has 10^100 doppelgangers every second (to say the least).
The shock is probably due to the fact that precisely here, the first person view is radically different with the third person view. It is the difference between 1 and infinity. We differentiate, but the first person views remain unique ...from their first person points of view. That is what the WM-duplication illustrates.
Now, the problem consists in justifying the first person collective stable realities, but they can win the measure conflict only by that relative multiplication process (when we assume c.)
Now, number theory do suggest itself relation with physics, but not yet with the arithmetical meta-arithmetic of Gödel, Kleene, ...
I got vague idea why simple groups and group theory might play some role related to the "material hypostases. The physical bottom is highly symmetrical. Perhaps not enough. We will see. Here or there ...
