I believe your understanding of MWI is close enough, but I don't think your use of "superdeterminism" is correct. Superdeterminism is an attempt to give a local explanation for seemingly-non-local quantum phenomena. MWI is a specific local explanation for quantum phenomena, so there's no reason to add in a superdeterministic explanation for non-local phenomena, because there are no non-local phenomena in MWI that need any explaining away. I think you might be slightly mixing up superdeterminism with determinism (which is compatible with MWI).
- mikk14 7y agoFair enough! My defense would be that, given that we picked a given branch from Big Bang to end-of-time, technically we picked a branch that had encoded all results of all forkings in the beginning, which is my understanding of superdeterminism. But as I said, I know too little about this to marry any opinion.
