(Previous comment was in response to Eliezer's 02:38 AM.)

constant, part of my objective is to highlight the vagueness of the concept of "world" as used by many-worlds advocates, and the problems peculiar to the various ways of making it exact, having previously argued that leaving it vague is not an option. I have certainly seen many-worlds people talk as if worlds were "wave packets" or other extended substructures within the total wavefunction. But I await a precise statement of what that means.
