The last. Low probability world exists but not only it is rare to
access them, but it super-rare to remain in them, well, if comp
succeeds!

The UD is the many-world, or many-histories. The 2^big movies
multiplication is a tiny trivial part of the UD, and being
immaterialist you should understand that we are doing all the time
this "thought" experiment. If we don't succeed in justifying why
things look normal, comp has to be abandoned. We have to explain why
the computational histories win when the UD plays the trick of
generating a continuum of non computational histories. The
computational histories which will "win" are those who entangled with
the non computational histories so as to make normality inherited by
the computational one. Somehow.

Cool, I am just explaining UDA-7, in all details, from scratch.
