Like.
It entangles the measured system with the measuring device and the environment, as I said in post #125. And this would be obvious to you... -

I don't even know what this means. In the sense that the measurement interaction is what entangles the particles with the measuring...

No, you couldn't, because any such effects would just end up being entangled with everything else, and in any given branch, there would...

No, it isn't. See my post #118 just now.

Yes, because that's how the state was prepared. The information that only two outcomes were possible, yes. No. It's known because you...

You end up in all branches. Just you in 1 branch does not know anything about you in another branch. In all branches to understand...

No from the perspective that I can see no similarly between the arguments put forward in the EPR paper and the MWI.

No.

As Peter has already said -- there are no variables that tell you which branch you go to. It's not something "hidden" from you. It just...

Sad.
Thanks for the clarifications. If I have understood, the wavefunction already "knew" at preparation time that only two outcomes were... -

Nothing had to eliminate them, because they were never there in the wave function in the first place.

Not really. The bolded phrase is correct for Bohmian mechanics, but it's not correct for the MWI. In the MWI, all outcomes are...

No. I said that about the claim that the MWI has been falsified. That's not what's being discussed in the post you quoted.
