Summary
Scholarly account of Everett's relative-state formulation of quantum mechanics, the source of the many-worlds interpretation, including measurement and branching issues.
Why it matters here
Steel-manned reference for what the many-worlds interpretation actually says, useful because popular versions often overstate what the physics entails.
