Non-Integer Multiverse
Abstract: In quantum mechanics physical processes procede by two different mechanisms. John von Neumann enumerated them as 1, the "discontinuous ... arbitrary changes by measurement," and 2, continuous evolution via the Schroedinger Equation. That the physical world does not obey a single overriding law - unitary evolution by the Schroedinger Equation - is philosophically disturbing to some. Others face it with equanimity. One narrative that preserves the findings of quantum mechanics yet does produce pure unitary evolution is that of the multiverse. Given below is the narrative by which Born's Rule emerges without pre-assigning to it the notion of probability. It requires that the number of universes in the multiverse not be enumerable!
