Basically that the “dust minds” are all crazy, because their internal beliefs correspond to nothing in reality, and there is no causality for them, except by sheer coincidence.
My main true reason for rejecting BBs of most types is this causality breakdown: there’s no point computing the probability of being a BB, because your decision is irrelevant in those cases. In longer-lived Boltzmann Simulations, however, causality matters, so you should include them.
There is a possible type of causal BBs: a process which has a sheer causal skeleton similar to a causal structure of an observer-moment (which itself has, – at first approximation, – a causal structure of convolutional neural net). In that case, there is causality inside just one OM.
Thanks, I have seen them, but yet have to make a connection between the topic and Boltzmann brains.
