Ok, but this isn’t actually making the case for MWI better to my mind. Instead of mass and energy being conserved in any closed system it is now only conserved on closed systems up to the “size” of a “world”. I don’t see how this loss of generality (especially since “worlds” tend to “split” into things that must now be treated independently despite coming from the same source) is a good thing.
I actually want to understand this correctly and I strongly suspect that I’m missing something basic. Unfortunately, I don’t really have the time to express my ignorance well in a public forum, but if anyone is willing to discuss privately, I’d be delighted.
