Everett explains this entirely in his long text. The observer cannot feel the split, nor observe it directly. But if QM (without collapse) is correct, it is up to the Uni-World to provide explanation of how “nature” makes some terms in the superposition disappear. Also, the MW is also a consequence of Descartes (mechanism) + Turing-Church-Post-Kleene (i.e. the discovery of the computer … in the elementary arithmetical reality). > But now you say that for Everett there's no such thing as THIS world.

All what I say follows from this “intuitively”, but is also recovered by the Platonician’s definition used in epistemology, when modelling “rational belief” by “provability”, which is suggested by incompleteness. I do know philosophers who are not convinced, by I don’t do philosophy, I prefer to show a theory and its testability, and indeed I show exactly how to test experimentally between Mechanism and (Weak) Materialism (physicalism), and I show that quantum mechanics confirms Mechanism. I am not the guy who comes with a new theory. I am just showing that the old and venerable Mechanist theory (in biology, psychology) is experimentally testable, and that QM without-collapse confirms it, like I show also that quantum logic confirms it. What is your take on the WM-duplication? Bruno PS if you could avoid the insults, and reason instead, that would be nice.
