Still I don't see why in a mathematical MW each "actual , objective
configuration" should be unique and have the same measure... specifically in
Bruno's UD. It's like you're saying that no mathematical MW theory could have
a valid measure function associated to it (which is needed to explain why WR
is not experienced). Also I don't see how a physical MW theory shouldn't need
such a measure function (for the same reason, exclude WR).
