In the first place, it is unlikely that all possible outcomes of an

Where is the confusion? Prior to self-location, the observer is in all
possible worlds, afterwards in just one.
No, the observer is in all branches equally at all times. His view of
the experimental result is just the result that obtained in the word to
which he has self-located. But all other results are also in worlds with
equivalent observers who have self-located differently. No symmetry has
been broken by this. Observers have just become entangled with the results.
