Yes, we see superpositions everywhere -- as Brent says, they are a
consequence of the mathematics of Hilbert space. A pure state in one
basis is a

Maybe that's enough though, to implement a brain and observer, that they
stop interfering in at least one basis (assuming they're not contradictory,
might all bases exist?)

The great thing about all this is that unlike Copenhagen the MWI does't
need to explain what a observer or a observation is.
That could be the source of all the difficulties wrt Born's rule.

Given an arbitrary density matrix, there is always a basis in which the
off-diagonal terms vanish

In the MWI a branching can only occur if there is a difference between 2
universes, for example if a

Bases are just coordinate systems for Hilbert space. We choose them. Of

Maybe, if so then things are not realistic or not deterministic or both.
Or the relevant laws of physics are time symmetric.
