@TuringEquivalent,
Quote:What Everett does NOT postulate:
At certain magic instances, the world undergoes
some sort of metaphysical "split" into two branches
that subsequently never interact.
This is not only a misrepresentation of the MWI, but
also inconsistent with the Everett postulate, since the
subsequent time evolution could in principle make the
two terms in equation (2) interfere.

I will, for the purpose of clarifying my background, just point to you that level 3 Multiverse has almost my full support, this regarding that its not far from what I thought on my own, in my quest for some bit of knowledge in all this years... it explains away randomness, aims at Determinism and at a fundamental Ontological conception of Necessity in Reality excluding
Nothingness from the picture...more, it goes accordingly with my intuitive first impression on set Theory, thus bringing
Potential of Everything into Reality, into existence itself...it makes sense and is frankly interesting...
As a monism defender I love its Unitarianism, its elegance and even its soundness, all good so far, give or take the problem of true infinities, but from that point on, I can only see Chaos and not Order, pure speculation just for the sake of keep going, and at this level I often remind myself, that one must always have present that
diversity without cohesion makes no sense...
...given, what I just have said, and what I heard from you so far, I see no point in continuing to attend the debate, as you haven?t brought yet sufficient reason for a level 4 Multiverse...actually from the paper that I read on it, there is n?t any at all !
As to the Wheeler/Hawking question "Why this equations and not others", I answer as so many do and have done, through the centuries, from all areas of Science and Philosophy...they, this particular Law?s, to the extent of my perception on World cosmogony, are simply NECESSARY ! ...reflecting on the becoming, the process of BEING.
P.S. : ...Its pointless to insist in any further commentary on the issue up for debate. It has been a long exhausting and unproductive deaf talk, that should have been ended, long time ago...
I wish you good luck on whatever might be that is catching your interest or attention, specially when it comes to the part of sharing it with others in a meaningful constructive way. Let that be your hard focus in a Globalized experience of communication !
With nothing further, Best Regards>FILIPE DE ALBUQUERQUE
