But what you call "accessible information" is the actual , objective configuration. We call them the "same footage", but that is a human-centric definition of the "same". > So for > a specified level of information I could agree that there is only one > configuration... but there should exists in a mathematical MW an infinity of > level. > > > (Barbour's theory is close to this, but he also has "mists", quantum > > probability measures, which are not apriori necessary). > > > > > And if you were in one or noticed > > > weird events you wouldn't writing this...

But that is the only reason anyone has to conclude that they don't exist.

Absence of evidence is good reason.
