Maybe because non-mathematical object does not exist... Exist in the sense
that everything can be mathematically expressed/can be described. It means
everything can finally be encoded by symbols and relation between them. So
non mathematical object does not exist in this way because non mathematical
doesn't mean anything.

I see a way like I said before to "contains" this measure problem in
computational histories. There is not absolute measure on an OM (either way I
can't see what it could mean)... Only relative measure between two or more
OMs, one way to explain HP universe are rare is the difference of amount of
information necessary to the knower/observer (the one which "live" inside the
OM) between a "plain simple continuation" and an "HP/white rabbit event". The
amount of information for the transition between the two accessible to the
knower is bigger in case of simple->HP continuation than simple->simple
continuation, this could remove/diminish occurence of HP event in our own
continuation (this universe where I'm typing this email).
SNIP-- will answer later.
