Please read the Blog entitled, "The Measurement Problem" for more details for how this set of theories were formed.
This model assumes that the universe is either infinite or part of an infinite number of other universes (like a sea of bubbles.)
This model accurately accounts for the laws of quantum mechanics and presents a cohesive vision for us to grasp.
I find this model offers so many questions to ponder, (once of course it beins to truly "sink in.")
-"What is the true nature of the individual?" ("Is it a world-line version?" "Is it a selectivly conscious collective?)
-"What can be said about the ultimate nature of the universe we live in?" "Is it infinite? Does it exist with other infinite universes in a some kind of superverse, multiverse or megaverse? Is it all simply a matter of semantics? (I doubt it is.)
-"What is our role as individuals?" "Is it to play our role here in this particular 'world-line' to the best of our ability? "Ultimatly, what matters more, the entire sum of versions of self, or the individual self?"
-"Does this mean that evil and good have just become even more relative?" "Do 'good' acts here balance 'evil' acts elsewhere and elsewhen?" "What is the kharma of a being that is manifest in an infinite number of interconected systems, interacting in an infinite number of ways with other beings and itself?"
-"When does death really occur?" "Is it when all worldline versions of yourself die?" "Do you transfer your consciousness directly to another version of yourself upon death in any one world-line?" "Is death even possible in the MWI?"
-"What would be the net gain, loss from any one action in such a system?"
-One must also realize that "you" are simply one version of "yourself." All the other versions' lives are just as REAL and just as noteworthy.
- One definition of 'Quantum Perspective' : (means to me) viewing oneself as an "other" version of oneself. -We are just one version of an endless stream of versions.

I believe we are existing (by pure randomness) in a "classical" subset of the larger quantum universe created from a scalar field...Other universes might exist, but we are bound in this one, which luckily (for life) has laws that work at this "classical" level. I know the laws don't hold up at quantum levels, though...
Look into Quantum mind theory, we may not be so classical afterall. Classical mechanics works great for pool-hall physics and even rockets, but it fails to address the minute scale or the function of the human brain and mind, among other topics. Scaler fields may definatly play a part (looking more into that as we speak.)
