Yes. And I think Deutsch has the most correct "interpretation" of
Everett's theory (and Wallace, by the way, in a paper in the british
journal of philosophy that I have just discover recently has the most
correct interpretation of Deutsch).
But they seems not be aware that by making their move, they have to
take the 1-person indeterminacy a bit more seriously, something which
Wallace *explicitly* does not. This motivates me a bit to submit a
paper btw.
Because, such indeterminacy forces us to consider that the SWE has to
be also probabilistic. A bit like if comp makes us live in a
multi-multiverse. But this is an analogy which can be misleading in
some way...
