Two branches are considered distinct if they are decohered. Do you understand that concept? Not sure I can explain it in a few words but...

I haven't had a chance to reread this in detail but I believe this paper by Zurek discusses it, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.71.052105

This paper by Zurek may be a better reference. He discusses orthogonal microstates, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.71.052105

Not having read past eqn. 10, it really does seem to me like this paper is at least trying to resolve @Roberto Pavani concerns. Eqn 10...

I will try to reply when I have more time later today.

Let's forget about a sequence coin flips. If you have a quantum coin with a probability of 1/3 and perform a single experiment Carroll...

To answer this specific question. I think where your assumptions are breaking down is that there is only one world for each outcome...

I have to think about this more. The sphere is an interesting case.

"Not making physical sense" and "not making geometrical sense" are in fact two sides of the same coin

It just means you can form a basis of linear independent non-zero vector fields such that at each point the vector fields form a full...

Well, this type of thinking doesn't quite work because you also have a physical model like for a classical coin toss. We don't always...

Experientially it's no different than what we observe. You estimate probabilities by flipping a quantum coin a lot of times. Even though...

It always confuses me about how to think about MWI in the Heisenberg picture where the state is just an initial condition and operator's...

Well since you already added the restriction of a bounded domain ##D##, then I don't see the restriction of adding the restriction of...

This blog post details an interpretation that is kind of like a rigorous Copenhagen Interpretation based on Decoherence...
