Very nice. Except perhaps that it is the principle of the

Even the probability of observing a single large scale violation of the laws of probability is vanishingly small.
According to *our* laws of probability, that is.
But how can you make recourse to our laws of probability if there

The paradox consists of the fact that the theory of multiverses tells us
that there must be infinite observers who experiment other physical laws.
There is not only the possibility of being wrong, it is the model itself
which proves to be wrong. In fact it tells us that there are

I think two things are being confused. First, the laws of physics, second,
the laws of probability. A gas particle follow physical rules (movement,
bumping, thermal vibrations)

I agree with everything you wrote about duplication...but I have to
take issue with your last point.

Your Principles are correct but the wording is not:
you should change all your use of *possible* to 'contingent'

Thanks, Matt, yes it helps. It helps me see that the
math becomes problematic under the interpretations.
Arbitrary constraints tint and skew what comes out.

Dear Federico,
In a mature and open 'exploring community',
especially where people of different language
backgrounds are concerned about coming together,
the responsibility for extracting meaning and
ideas falls as much on the readers as the writers.

Tegmark's multiverse theory doesn't make it appropriate to initiate -- or multiply --

It depends on what you mean by the multiverse, and on what the laws of
