Uhh doesn't Eliezer Yudkowsky's account explicitly discount the envelope explanation?
- davidmathers 18y agoThat was a metaphor not an explanation. What's actually happening is pretty much incomprehensible, but is just as unrelated to the transmission of information as my metaphor.
- Eliezer 18y agoWhat gets "teleported" is indexical information, information about which Everett branch "you" happen to be in. One might say that you are in the envelope - different versions of you in different envelopes. It may sound odd, but it makes a whole lot of completely unphysical behavior in the "collapse" "theory" evaporate in a puff of smoke.
