the nonsense-doctrine of "no definite number of worlds"

You declare this, without acknowledgment of others who have considered these issues and have their rebuttals. Your alternative hybrid of string-theory and fundamental mental entities alternative described in past posts looks far more nonsensical to most. At the same time, you have never in all your posts and comments addressed the fact that all the issues with probability and personal identity in Many Worlds can apply to classical systems too, e.g. Eliezer's Ebborians hypothetical, or this paper, or traditional philosophical hypotheticals with brain growth and surgical fission.
