[ExI] Many Minds as an alternative to Many Worlds Quantum Reality

Many minds, not many worlds, constitute quantum reality
The view from nowhere is leading quantum physics astray

Quote:
A century after the birth of quantum mechanics, many are still puzzled
by the idea that Schrödinger’s cat is simultaneously alive and dead.
The mystery drives some of our most prominent physicists to embrace
the bizarre idea that reality constantly splits into a near infinity
of parallel worlds, of which ours is just one. Philosopher of physics
Nadia Blackshaw argues that this “many worlds” interpretation goes
wrong not only in its extravagant multiplying of entities, but in its
attempt to adopt a “view from nowhere,” describing reality from no
particular perspective. She proposes instead a “many minds”
interpretation, in which the cat is alive from one perspective and
dead from another. It’s time physics took conscious perspectives
seriously.

I asked Gemini to produce a Deep Research Report.
This is a long and detailed response.

Conclusion:
The resolution of the measurement problem may ultimately require us to
accept that reality is not a singular, objective landscape, but a
complex tapestry of perspectives. Whether we characterize this as a
multiverse of worlds or a multiplicity of minds, the lesson of
Everettian quantum mechanics is that the world is far more expansive
than our singular experiences suggest.
