This is one explanation, but for me fails two tests. The first (pointed out below) is that it is heliocentric - it's about us.
The second is that it avoids freedom of will and consciousness in the sense of self perception. It assumes that I am a zombie, and I deny that. I concede that others may be zombies, although I think that they aren't. My actions either navigate me from state to state or create new states. Physics does not account for this; physics is incomplete.
I'll leave occams razor on the shaving table, as it's a heuristic and I don't like it for logic - but infinite infinities fails occams too.
