I don't think this is the way to look at it. It's true that QM predicts
an uncountably infinite number of branchings, even for an universe
containing only a single unstable particle. But these branchings don't
produce different copies of

Assuming that consciousness supervenes on the physics, this follows

If many-worlds is true, consider for a second how many histories

One thing that I do not agree with is what seems to me to be a common
holding regarding observer moments [by this I mean discrete states of
universes [which are a sub set of possible objects]] is that they
are each so far assumed to have a set of properties that are to some
extent the same

OK, but that means observer moments are not fundamental and the
illusion of their continuity may be provided by the continuity of
their underpinning. But I don't see how a strictly stepwise discrete
process as contemplated in the UD can provide that
