I think the branches only merge if they're similar enough to merge by random chance. That means no meaningful transfer of memories, per the "no communication theorem" for quantum entanglement.
Why would the universe be more likely to send me memories from one of my distant branches, than from another currently-living person? I don't think telepathy exists in either case.
- noduerme 3y agoHave you ever woken up from a dream where you're sure you've forgotten 90% of it, but remember the portions most relevant to your reality? No information has to be transfered in these cross-universe death/wake-ups. You can simply wake up with no recollection of the dream. I'm not suggesting that branches containing separate information ever merge. I think my language was imprecise. I'm suggesting that one's perception of self-awareness and consciousness merges. The consciousness you have access to leaps to the next available branch.
