Why? I don’t see this. Horses could be classical machine, in which case the same horse is the winner in all, or quasi-all universes. > but assuming space is continuous, an additional uncountable set of universes > for each winner, where the losers have different positions when the winner > crosses the finish end line. This is not only beautiful. but utterly sublime. > Wouldn't you agree? AG Yes, the multiplication would occur (assuming space continuous). But the same horse would still be the winner, except perhaps if two horses are so close that in some universe another one wins the race, due to that location superposition. Yet, if the horse behaves classically, with respect to their muscular force and strategy, the winner will be the same in some majority (say) of worlds. That is a good thing, as it makes it possible for large creature to have a partial control on their destiny, and take a lift instead of jumping through a window. Of course such a classical appearance have to be explained from the quantum formalism, and with mechanism, such quantum formalism has to be justified from the statistics on many computations (of all types).
