The Future-Record Model of Everettian Probability

  • Jonathan Baxter
Open at sourcePDFDOICite

Abstract

I recently showed how objective Everettian probability can be defined over the records borne by an observer's later continuations, without unique actualization or additional premeasurement subjects \citep{Baxter2026}. Here I extend that model to all decoherent physical record states, including records that support no such continuation. The observer-indexed model is then a restriction of an exhaustive physical-record model.
