That’s Bohr idea. But it means that measurement are no more describe by QM, and this introduces a dualism in the the possible theory of mind that you need to use. The élégance if the MWI is that QM applies to both the observed and the observer, again, like it has to do assuming mechanism. > Or why not withhold judgement on a phenomenon not yet understood?

The fact that we don’t feel the split is entirely explained by the wave evolution and the self-duplication thought experiment. Occam razor favours the simplest conceptual explanation, or we add add as many “epicycle” to favour any interpretation, up to the super determinism, which I take as an abandon of rationality… Bruno > > On Friday, January 15, 2021 at 1:18:53 PM UTC-7 [email protected] wrote: > On Fri, Jan 15, 2021 at 2:22 PM Alan Grayson <[email protected] > <applewebdata://7BAD6864-4A9A-4D47-BE55-CA13983B9113>> wrote: > > > Why do you assume that the initial observer splits after initial trial when > > it's not observed?
