Persona Classification Layer
Compare Personas
Pick two or more historical figures to set their attribute fingerprints, dimension-by-dimension evidence, and shared school influences side by side.
David Deutsch
Other universes are not metaphor — quantum mechanics, taken literally, requires the multiverse

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
David Deutsch
Branching — every quantum event splits the wavefunction; multiple histories are equally real.
Space
David Deutsch
Non-local, curved (GR-compatible). The multiverse is the totality of branches.
Matter
David Deutsch
Substantival across the multiverse; conserved by quantum unitarity.
Observer
David Deutsch
Multiple — every observer has counterparts in branched worlds.
Energy
David Deutsch
Substantival, conserved.
Information
David Deutsch
Conserved by quantum unitarity at the cosmic scale.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
The Everett interpretation's "many worlds" status remains contested among physicists and philosophers of physics; Bohmian mechanics, GRW collapse theories, and QBism are live alternatives.
