But then the explanation for *this* is that it's just a random one

Yeah, it's the WAP.
Seems quite reasonable to me.
It's superior to the random one because that makes more assumptions
about the nature of reality.
How so? They seem of similar magnitude to me. Remember I'm asking
for an explanation of *this*. Not just an explanation of why there
is *some world* with people.
Because observers do something, they Observe. That is an action.
Don't separate observers from their observations. Simple rule
linking observers to observations. X can only experience worlds
(collections of observations) whose existence is consistent with the
observer's existence.
Let me drill down a bit more into this.
We can take for granted that when we observe some X, we are also
observing ourselves in the act of observing X. It is a Lob theorem
kinda thing.
To be sure, the material hypostases are not transitive, so when we
observe, we don't observe that we observe, but when we feel or know,
it is the case that we feel feeling and we know that we know (although
not as such).
Here I use comp + Theaetetus.

Prof. Standish was right about ants! There is no consciousness
without self-awareness! Also, disallowing ghost prohibits the
possibility of observing a world "from the outside".
Is this helping?
