If the same QM state is associated with different observer moments,
you must be talking about some non-functionalist approach to
consciousness. The QM state, by definition, contains all information
that can be extracted from observation.

The Multiverse is defined as the set of consistent histories described

I don't quite follow your argument. OMs are not computations. Whatever
they are under computationalism, they must be defined by a set of
information, a particular meaning to a particular observer.
Quantum states have this property. For observables that the state is
an eigenvalue of, the state

Barbour argues the same way you do. But he does concede that his
argument is not yet proven. The trouble is that in the case of, for
instance, the electron, in the example you give, there is still an

Because I'm fascinated by high-complexity type puzzle contests (i.e
puzzles lasting 6 months or more) as a possible way to test really high
IQ's. It's also indirectly relevent to 'theories of everything' since
'the universe' is one giant puzzle ;)
