Quantum fauna

David Wallace wrote an article on reductionism, emergence and the worlds in the interpretation of many worlds of quantum mechanics which is informative and accessible as his earlier writings:

Decoherence and ontology (or: how I learned to stop worrying and love FAPP)

In the end, however, that a theory of the world is "intuitive" is without argument
against him, is that it can be properly described in a mathematical language. Our
intuitions about what is "reasonable" or "imaginable" are designed to help our
ancestors on the savannas of Africa and the universe is not required to comply with
for them.

I particularly enjoyed the 2 figure and note 14.

Wallace also has a last update on the program to obtain the probability of decision theory:

A formal proof of the rule of theoretical postulates to the decision

I tend to think the more orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics of Wallace, it's just that people is not yet known.
