When E.Yudkowsky’s foe agrees with something he says, you can be sure its correct ;) Of course, the answers are in the materials on ontology I posted on the everything-list months ago.
As to where an algebraic relation such as ‘2+3’ exists, it exists in the same place as the objective value archetypes of course- it’s a global feature of the Tegmark multiverse—a relation between all the possible worlds.
Probabilities, on the other hand, are not a global feature of the Tegmark multiverse, but are computed in the individual minds existing in QM branches. That’s the difference.
Allan, QM is completely deterministic. All that actually exists is the QM wave function, which has a completely deterministic evolution. Again, the probabilities only exist in the minds of observers viewing specific ‘cross-sections’ of the multiverse.
All true.
