I don't know if subjective experience is possible while self-coherent. You need to entangle with only one of your states to have any experience.

- lmm 10y agoI don't understand your claim. Interacting with something in a superposition creates entanglement. In practice most of you is in contact with most of the rest of you, so any superposition quickly spreads to your whole body and more generally the wider universe. At that point we can call it "decoherence" but there's no collapse. Just your wavefunction becomes cleanly separable into distinct pieces. But the subjective experience of being in either component would feel, well, normal.
- marxidad 10y agoYes, it's normal so long as you are in one component or the other. I don't think that you can experience a superposition of being coherent among both components—of existing in both worlds. I think that we're always unconscious in a Schrodinger state.
