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! > > > I guess I'm not clear on what you're getting at with this pixel > thought-experiment. 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.

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