Your claim appears to be that Bell's theorem is not valid in MWI.
Bell's theorem is valid. His inequality does not even assume QM, but
just locality.
I agree, but that is not what you were implying above. It seems that
now you agree that the Bell inequalities assume only locality. But
these inequalities are violated by experiment. That can only mean that
the assumption of locality was wrong -- whatever interpretation of QM
you adopt.
I think that this important part of recent exchanges might have got lost
in the welter of to-and-fro.
Bruno accepts:
1. Bell's theorem (and the associated inequalities) are valid in MWI.
2. Bell's theorem assumes only locality (not even QM -- it is valid in
classical physics also).
3. The Aspect et al., and subsequent, experiments demonstrate that the
Bell inequalities are violated.
It seems to follow with the force of simple logic that:
4. Experiment shows that QM is non-local, even in MWI.
Bruno appears to reject this conclusion. I conclude that Bruno's
position is incoherent.
