Hmmm - caring as a part of reality? Why not just flip things up, and consider that emotion is also part of reality. Random by any other name. Try to exclude it and you'll find you can't no matter how infinitely many worlds you suppose. There's also calculus to irrationality . . .
The "caring" interpretation doesn't say that caring is part of reality (except insofar as minds are implemented in reality). Rather, it says that probability isn't part of reality, it's part of decision theory (again except insofar as minds are implemented in reality).
cool! but can you really posit artificial intelligence (decision theory has to get enacted somewhere) and not allow mind as part of reality?
