It is a direct consequence of the assumption of mechanism, where physics emerge from all computations (in arithmetic). So, you don’t need to postulate a physical world to understand that all consistent computations “happens”, and Everett formulation of QM can be seen as a conformation of the mechanist theory of mind. A key point in both Mechanism and Everett is that although all computations “happens”, they do not happen relatively to each other with the same relative probabilities. That can be used to refute some “ethical critics” that some people use against Everett.
