OK.

It seems you are saying the same thing as me.

But this does not entails any physical action at a distance, unless we 
postulate a physical collapse of the wave (as opposed to a local entanglement 
relative to the observer, which is local and which propagates only at the speed 
of light. Then when Alice (say) measures its particle, it only tells Alice in 
which partition of the multiverse she belongs, and where indeed Bob will find 
the corresponding results. EPR and Bell assumes a mono-universe to get the non 
locality.
