David,
It is the motivation of Everett to make coherent the wave equation and
the idea that mind is not something substantial acting on matter (like
Copenhagians are obliged to admit in a way or another).
To derive the phenomenology of the collapse, he used only local
interactions and

Actually we have already discussed this a lot, and the work I explain
here (uda, auda) can be considered as an answer to Tegmark (or
Schmidhuber), except that it has been published many years before, and
relies on philosophy of mind/computer science or machine's theology.

Assuming a 4-level hierarchy of universe as posited by Tegmark here...

Then the universe would be an aggregate of all mathematical structures.

Bruno,
thanks for the answer.
What do you mean by universe? Do you mean, like many, the physical
universe (or multiverse), or do you mean the ultimate basic reality
(the third person everything)?
By universe I mean what we call a universe when we talk about universes

To me it would be that which is contained when you specify a number of
dimensions. 2d? The universe can be a piece of paper.
But that implies that dimensionality is a fundamental property of
reality. It is conceivable that dimensionality is not fundamental, but
rather emergent.
