Hello, and thank you for any input. This forum is a wonderful venue for gathering information and clarity on otherwise quite abstruse topics. I have had an enduring interest in QM interpretations for some time(and quantum mechanics generally), and find their diverse ontological and epistemological implications intriguing.
One thing, however that I can't seem to grasp no matter how hard I try to conceptualize(and this is surely a limit on myself rather the interpretive framework itself) is how continuity or consistency is attained in the Many Worlds Interpretation. In this vast sprawling network of continuous branching, how do we have a sense of macroscopic agreement, and persistence of identity over time?
How do we agree on events that occurred 30 days or 30 years ago remain enduring facts of our universal history over time? Is information about the smallest minutia of events stored in our branch history that we are consistent with? Essentially, how does the MWI ensure the consistency of observers and systems over time in the midst of this splitting process?
Thank you again for any and all input, and apologies if my question lacks technical rigor.
