Copenhagen Interpretation

This group tends to relate concepts back to MWI. Perhaps CI is a useful way to think as well... At a given point in time, a thinking entity is only aware of a small subset of its surroundings. This suggests an ensemble of all mathematical possibilities that are consistent with that mind in that
