If reality is finitely complex, how does it get to have no bottom?

P.S. Just to be sure, I'm not arguing for one-world QM, I'm comparing many-world QM to one-world classical mechanics.

I don't understand. Surely things like the double-slit experiment have some explanation, and that explanation is some kind of QM, and we're forced to compare these different kinds of QM.

Vladimir_Nesov's post is regarding where we should look for morally-relevant conceptions of reality. He is advocating building out our morality starting from human-scale physics, which is well-approximated by one-world classical mechanics.
