- Not sure what this first point means. To describe decoherence you need something like density matrix notation or Liouville notation which is mathematically much more complicated. For example, a qubit's state vector grows by 2^N, but if you represent it in Liouville notation then the vector grows by 4^N. It is far more mathematically complicated as a description, but I don't really see why that matters anyways as it's not like I reject such notation. Your second point also agrees with me. We know the Born rule is real because we can observe real outcomes on measurement devices, something which MWI denies exists and something you will go on to deny in your point #4
- This is also true in Copenhagen. Again, if that's your criterion for locality then Copenhagen is also local.
- I think you should read Everett's papers "'Relative State' Formulation of Quantum Mechanics" and "The Theory of the Universal Wave Function" to see the difference between wavefunctions defined in a relative sense vs a universal sense. You will encounter this with any paper on the topic. I'm a bit surprised you genuinely have never heard of the concept of the universal wavefunction yet are defending MWI?
- That quotation does not come one iota close to even having the air of giving the impression of loosely responding to what I wrote. You are not seriously engaging with what I wrote at all. You denying the physical existence of real-world discrete outcomes is exactly what I am criticizing, so just quoting yourself denying it is only confirming my point.
