Well in typical Everett MWI you also could...

But why ? consequences on HP/WR are exactly the same on both flavor ! In any
case you have to have a measure function, in both case probability is not
about what happens and what doesn't but the relative proportion of "what
happens" at the time a choice is made. Even an infinitesimal probability
is "instantiated" with 100% chance in MW. Since quantum mechanics does not
prevent very weird events from occuring, those events then occur and are as
real as this real. The chance to win the lottery is low, yet some wins...

Several ways of defining one has been discussed on this list for a long time
now see ASSA vs RSSA, see the Universal Distribution, etc.

I don't understand what you mean by this, I apology.
