Caledonian: I too have kinda the same issue with the dust hypothesis. My natural instinct was to go “yes, of course the dust hypothesis is true, it seems impossible it could be otherwise!”
But then, how do I explain that even though there’re far more chaotic configurations that contain me than apparently consistent configurations that contain me, I seem to find myself in more ordered state?
That is, I seem to note that the bits of my perceptions corresponding to recent memory and bits of my perception corresponding to what I’m observing in front of me seem to usually fit together. Further, I notice that my perception of my memories themselves seem to have a bit more structure then one’d otherwise expect if the vanilla dust hypothesis were true.
It would seem that, like it or not, there’s definately something missing from the “dust hypothesis” picture of reality.
The question about the Born statistics seems to be a similar type of question. Perhaps it’s pretty much the same question, in fact. The vanilla Dust Hypothesis would seem to completely and utterly reject things like the Born rule.
