If you're covering this later I'll wait, but I ask now in case my confusion means I'm misunderstanding something.
Why isn't nearly everything entanged with nearly everything else around it by now? Why is there a significant amount of much quantum independance still around? Or does it just look that way because entanged subconfigurations tend to get split off by decorehence so branches retain a reasonable amount of non-entangledness within their branch? Sorry if this is a daft or daftly phrased question.
It IS. That was something Eliezer said waay back when, and he was right. Entanglement is a very ordinary state of affairs.
Your educated guess is correct.
Indeed, a thoroughly entangled world looks classical, however paradoxical it might sound. Regardless of the adopted interpretation.
