Do you mean what @renormalize said in post #44? I'll assume you do in what follows. So you're thinking that the plastic will record...

This doesn't help. What is "track-recording plastic"? What is it supposed to do that the detector screen itself doesn't already do? And...

Is this an argument that appears in the peer-reviewed literature? If not, it's personal theory and is off limits here.

Even if this is true... ...this does not follow. Decoherence doesn't provide single outcomes.

Meaning, tracks from the proton source, through the slits, and to the detector screen? If so, then this... ...is not correct. Recording...

Hi You're asking the right question, but the answer is structural, not technical. The reason AI isn't optimized for correctness is...

I've been reading this thread with interest but haven't posted because until recently I didn't have the operational experience to say...

Bear in mind that, if you find it hard to believe that the MWI actually says this because it seems so outlandish, you're not alone. I...

Because the branches are decohered, and because in the overall wave function you are entangled with the cat--and both you and the cat...

The answer is simple: "branching" is just unitary evolution, and unitary evolution can't create or destroy anything.

It does if nobody has published the composition of the two separate lines of literature that you describe. I am closing this thread for...

Then it should be possible for you to cite an exposition of that composition that lies within "published work". Please do so.

Not if they aren't being measured. If they aren't being measured they do not have well-defined worldlines.
