Thank you for this. It's somewhat pro-Everettista,
and attends to some questions especially important
from an MWI perspective. I found sections 1, 2,
and 6 not only quite readable, but containing a
number important philosophic points, e.g., concerning
the nature of personal identity. (Sections 3, 4,
and 5 are still over my head.)
John and Ross and the others in the *dual* discussion
to this might find it quite relevant to their
intercourse too.
This shows to me that Vaidman's an admirably clear writer.
