- Looking for references on the differences between Everett's version of MWI and the more popular version of DeWitt
I've read from various sources that Everett's original version of the MWI is different than the current popular account of MWI which I believe is more due to DeWitt. Specifically, Everett's initial interpretation placed less emphasis on the reality of the branching universes.
I haven't found a good account that discusses these differences and the history of the MWI in depth. I am wondering if a) I am correct that Everett's views were different from his subsequent contemporaries and b) if there are any good references other than Everett's original thesis that discuss this in depth.
