While I haven't given it much though outside the context of fiction, one could adopt the point of view/vocabulary of this being "the level 5 tegmark mutiverse".

Now, if that is true in any sense, it's probably a much less literal one, and not based on the same reasoning as the other four, but it might still be an useful heuristic for humans.

Another interesting note: By default my brain seems to assume utility is linear with paperclips when considering say different Everett branches, but the logarithm of it when considering logical uncertainty. That's kinda odd and unjustified, but the intuition might have some point about humans utility function.
