cities, people, grains of sand, etc. in a definite classically described state.
The concept of a “world” in the MWI belongs to part (ii) of the theory, i.e., it is not a rigorously defined mathematical entity, but a term defined by us (sentient beings) in describing our experience. When we refer to the “definite classically described state” of, say, a cat, it means that the position and the state (alive, dead, smiling, etc.) of the cat is maximally specified according to our ability to distinguish between the alternatives, and that this specification corresponds to a classical picture, e.g., no superpositions of dead and alive cats are allowed in a single world.
The question then must be asked are we living in a single or world or as many physicists
now contend that we are living in many worlds, not the Universe but the Multiverse.
I can hear the the counter argument, I know what I am and where I am I know how I AM
constituted at this very moment, yet it is not a question of how you feel you are constituted at this precise moment, we must back track and seek out the process of how you became constituted to give you the feeling that you are your today. We must go back as far back as when there were
no sentient human beings on the planet....
We have a concept that we live in a centered world. In this world, all objects which the sentient being perceives have definite states, but objects that are not under observation might be in a superposition of different (classical) states.
