    ### In other words, suicide is a way of leaving places you don't want to
    be in, copying might be a way of reaching places you want to reach, and a
    combination of the two achieves both objectives.

    See, this is the problem with *not* renormalizing your probabilities.

    In contrast to an assertion by H. Everett III, the law of (quantum)
    probabilities cannot be easily derived without further assumptions
    about the *selection* of our world component, among many other
    world components. According to Dieter Zeh the most important
    *underivable* assumption, in a non-local (rectius: non-separable)
    quantum universe, seems to be the (space-time-measure)locality of
    the ultimate, subjective, observer in spacetime.
    In general quantum manipulations, in a non-local or non-separable universe,
    lead to the (still unsolved, even within the decoherence model) question
    about the conservation of information.
