In that case most of your measure is in stable universes and dust theory isn’t anything to worry about._
There are different ways of defining ,measure. DT guarantees that lack of continuity, and therefore low density, won’t be subjectivtly noticeable....at least, it will look like chaotic observations , not feral like “I’m dead”
Dust theory has a weird pulled-up-by-your-own bootstraps taste to it and I have a strong aversion to regarding it as true, but Egan’s argument against it is the best I can find and it’s not entirely satisfying but should be sufficiently comforting to allow you to sleep.
Maybe you could include:
construed as a computation BY WHOM?
Computation is a process, and not any process, so the idea of an instantaneous computational state.
(There is a possible false dichotomy there: consciousness isnt the output of a computation that takes a lifetime to perform, but there could be still be millions of computatioNs required to generate a “specious present”)
