Advocates of MWI want to claim there are no projections (they

one needs to explain what about those subspaces corresponds to the
probabilities, or in other words what does "probability" mean when
they all exist?
Well, probability has always been about random selection of something
from a collection of somethings. A classical example is random
selection of a ball from a collection of balls. In MWI there is random
selection of a world in which you find yourself. All the worlds exist
just as all the balls in the collection exist.
So you are this single magic soul that selects one world of many to
really be in? That seems contrary to the idea that your consciousness
gets entangled with every different result and so is equally in each world.
