Only after that do they become unique individuals. To ask, before you have seen, heard, felt, smelled or tasted anything, "which ONE branch am I on?" cannot be answered because during that time interval "you" are on many branches, perhaps infinitely many.* Many Worlds, the Born Rule, and Self-Locating Uncertainty <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1405.7907> * John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* slu > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
