Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Hugh Everett III
Branching: every quantum measurement causes the universe to branch; observer-time is uni-directional within each branch but the universal wavefunction admits branches at every event.
Space
Hugh Everett III
Non-local through entanglement, as in the standard quantum formalism.
Matter
Hugh Everett III
Non-local substantival matter; the wavefunction is the complete physical description.
Observer
Hugh Everett III
Plural observers, each in their own branch; multiple time-instances and space-instances through branching. No metaphysical agency.
Energy
Hugh Everett III
Standard physics.
Information
Hugh Everett III
Information conserved at the universal-wavefunction level; personal soul not.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Bohr's personal dismissal of Everett's thesis at Copenhagen (1959) consigned the interpretation to twenty years of obscurity. The probability problem (how does the Born rule arise in a deterministic many-worlds picture?) remains contested despite Deutsch-Wallace decision-theoretic derivations. Critics argue that branching itself is a vague predicate; defenders argue that decoherence makes it precise enough.
