There is, of course, a difference between being duplicated so that there are
multiple copies of you in the one Universe, as in teleportation, and being
duplicated along with the rest of the Universe as a result of MWI branching.
In the former case your relative measure increases and problems w
Or, perhaps we are indeed living in a Bostromian simulation. QM is used at
the microscopic scale of the simulation, and for computational economy GR is
used for macroscopic modelling (stars and planets and satellites and
Buicks). While both are true descriptions of reality (in that the simulation

This doubling of the absolute measure is important. In another posting you
wrote about being teleported to many places and then being annihilated
everywhere except at the original place. This won't affect the probability
of being alive at the original place. But in a QC experiment where you have

Well, I did actually intend my example to be analogous to the Tegmark QS
experiment. Are you saying that if there is only one world and magically an
identical, separate world comes into being this is fundamentally different
to what happens in quantum branch splitting? It seems to me that in both
