Some are using the many-worlds idea like that, but with reasonable
hypotheses like comp and /or the QM hypo, we already know that what
matter are the relations between the worlds/OM. With comp the multi-OM
is structured canonically by each choice of point of views. Even if
this is not the correct theory, it is enough to make your inference not
valid. QM can be used instead.
In particular ultimate meaning is not excluded at all, although (with
comp) what is excluded is that the ultimate meaning can be written on a
finite piece of paper.
