Quantum many worlds violates most if not all of those everyday language formulations.
Doesn't violate the minimum message length one, though. I've not heard that one before & I like it.

- abritinthebay 10y ago> Quantum many worlds violates most if not all of those everyday language formulations. This is a common objection to which supporters would say means you're not reviewing the data in enough depth. It's a fair argument tho. Given Occam is supposed to only be a guideline and not some kind of universal law it wouldn't actually matter if QMW did violate it though (even though that's debatable anyhow).
