IMO, highly doubtful, or minimally outside the domain of
quantum theory where there is such a thing as
measurements, and thus the dualism being denied as the
conceptual solution of the measurement problem.

He does say that decoherence theory doesn't solve the
measurement problem, yet he attributes it to decomposing the
universe into individual subsystems. Why would the
decomposition have that result? Am I misreading his position? AG
Why would decomposition have/what/ result? The result of "decomposing
the universe into individual subsystems"? The result of "not solving
the measurement problem"?
Decoherence doesn't solve the measurement problem because it doesn't
quantify the probability; it doesn't even show why there is a
probability measure. If you can show that there is a probability
measure, then Gleason's theorem tells you that it must be the Born rule.
