Self-locating uncertainty in Everettian quantum mechanics

ID: self-locating-uncertainty-in-everettian-quantum-mechanics

Uncertainty about which observer-centred situation is one's own, even conditional on a known global wave function. An example is a post-measurement observer who has not yet consulted a decohered record. This proposal distinguishes uncertainty about the experienced record from randomness in the universal dynamics. A further argument is needed to connect its credences to branch weights; not every decision-theoretic Everettian account must interpret its weights as ignorance of a uniquely selected future branch.
