Who am I? and Who Are You?
I am an object, on the Earth,
Every time I perform a quantum experiment (with several outcomes) it only seems to me that a single definite result is obtained. Indeed, the “Bosco” who obtains this particular result thinks this way. However, this “Bosco” cannot be identified as the only “Bosco” after the experiment.
The “Bosco” before the experiment might corresponds to multiple “BOSCO”s who might obtain a multitude of possible results.
I correspond to a particular “Bosco in 2020, Fast forward to 2030 but not to a particular “Bosco” in the future: I correspond to a multitude of “Bosco”s in 2030. This correspondence is seen in my memory of a unique past: a “Bosco's” in 2021 shares memories with one particular “Bosco's” in 2020 but with multiple Bosco”s in 2030.
. “I” is defined at a particular time by a complete (classical) description of the state of my body and of my brain. “I” and “Bosco” do not refer to the same things (even though my name is Bosco).it is meaningless to say that now there is another “I”. I have a particular, well defined past: In the framework of the MWI it is meaningless to ask: Which “Bosco” in 2030 will I be? I will correspond to them all.
