The A=A Problem for Everettian Branching
Informational identity, subject-individuation, and the ontology of branching observers.
Overview
Everett may multiply physical branch-realizers, but subject multiplicity requires subject-constituting informational or record-based difference. A conscious configuration identical to itself is not made subjectively distinct merely by being multiply realized.
Role in the RBO project
This item belongs to the Quantum and Observer-Worlds section of the RBO website. It should be read according to its status label: Working paper.
RBO is a BCT-derived philosophical framework for individuation. This item contributes to the project’s account of finite systems, stable traces/records, individuation, continuity, correction, and definite outcomes, while BCT remains the physics-facing core where quantum measurement is concerned.
