> Why decoherence selects a particular basis? consilient answered this one. > decoherence still does not explain the origin of probabilities The amplitudes corresponding to each decoherent branch are the right ones to give the Born rule probabilities. Which, given that the Born rule is empirically observed to work, is probably as good as we're going to get unless (as I doubt will ever happen) someone manages to find a way to derive the Born rule from unitary dynamics.
