recombine after the relevant quantum measurement has been
irreversibly
recorded is nonsense.
There is no recombination of branches here, it's just that you
become identical to another version of you located in another
branch. Then, upon a new measurement, you'll spit over the
different branches again. If somehow you would not be identical to
another copy of you located on a branch where the outcome of the
lottery is different, then that means that you actually did not
forget the outcome as the information about the outcome is still
present in your memory (the algorithm that defines you).
And then you'll become Bruno, and then you'll become John Clark, and
then you'll become Sherlock Holmes and then you'll become a unicorn
and each of them infinitely many times... That's the trouble with
"everything thing happens" .
Fortunately for mechanism, some diophantine equation have no
solutions, some programs never stop, and nothing impossible happens at
the base level, or we are all gravely inconsistent.
But what is interesting is that for any machine, the truth is bigger
than its believable/justifiable part, and the exploration is infinite,
and can only lead to more surprises and more surprises, and more
doubts ...
"everything" has no meaning out of the theory of thing that we
postulate.
