*Does the name of the list imply the discussion is limited to the MWI or that it's in the ballpark of reality??? AGDo me a favor and try to explain the problem I posed a few messages back, or maybe on the Entanglement thread, about the principle of superposition. Specifically, the role of interference and what it has to do with the interpretation that a system in a superposition is in all component states simultaneously. This seems to be the case even when the component states are orthogonal as a basic property of linear algebra, yet interference among the states (the non orthogonal case?) seems necessary to get the double slit probability density.
