Uncharitable punchline is “if you take pilot wave but keep track of every possible position that any particle could have been (and ignore where they actually were in the actual experiment) then you get many worlds.” Seems like a dumb thing to do to me.
How would you formalize pilot wave theory without keeping “track of every possible position that any particle could have been” (which I assume refers to, not throwing away the wavefunction)?

I have thoughts on that but my formalizations have never been very formal. I think this debate could go unresolved until one of us writes the code.
