*> I'll bet you Adrian Kent's paper* (did you read it?) is netter than Shut > Up And Read Sean Carroll's Book On Many Worlds.* I won't even ask you if you read it because I know you didn't, I didn't either but at least I skimmed it and found it said: "*This motivates exploring ways to go beyond standard quantum theory, for example by adding extra mathematical structure (as in de Broglie-Bohm theory or new dynamical laws (as in GRWP models)*." And Carroll talks in detail about both Broglie-Bohm theory and GRWP models in his book, so what is this "curious omission" you accuse Carroll of making? And the above is entirely consistent with Carroll saying that Hugh Everett did not add anything new to quantum mechanics, instead he just stripped out a lot of extraneous stuff because Many Worlds does not need to "add extra mathematical structure" to make it fit observation. The only purpose of that extra mathematical stuff is to get rid of many worlds, it does nothing else. And William of Ockham must be spinning in his grave.
