Hi Mirek,
I guess you are busy.
I would just like to insist that when I say (14-febr.-08):
> Please note that the 1-indeterminacy I am talking about in the third
> step is really a pure classical indeterminacy. It arises from the fact
> that my classical state is duplicable, and then I cannot predict which

This is really a key point, if not *the* key point. I think it is
almost trivial, but sometimes some people have a problem with this. In
that case it helps to imagine the same experiment done with some
inference inductive machine in place of a human or "you", and this in
an iterated self-duplication. In that case the result amount to saying
that no robot, when duplicated iteratively (in Washington and Moscow,
say) can predict its future sequence of results of first person
self-localization. This becomes equivalent with the fact that most
finite bit-strings, like WMMMWWMWWWM ... are not compressible.
Someone told me (out-of-line) that he *can* predict with certainty his
future in that situation: for example he can predict WWWWWWWWW..., but
this means he is not taking into account the saying of the other
reconstituted people, which, *assuming comp* are genuine "descendant"
of the "original". Those people will acknowledge that their "prediction
with certainty" was false, and they have the same right and reason to
be taken seriously, again when we *assume* the comp hypothesis.
Have you a problem with this? I think most on this list grasp this
point, but don't hesitate to tell me if you don't. Without a clear
understanding of what happens here we can't really proceed ... (nor can
we grasp Everett formulation of QM I could argue ...).
