The most surprising, but also most parsimonious, interpretation is the many-worlds, or quantum-multiverse interpretation, implying a permanent coexistence of parallel realities. Could this perhaps be the appropriate interpretation of quantum mechanics? This book collects evidence for this interpretation, both from physics and from other fields, and proposes a subjectivist version of it, the clustered-minds multiverse. The author explores its implications through the lens of decision making and derives consequences for free will and consciousness. For example, free will can be implemented in the form of vectorial choices, as introduced in the book. He furthermore derives consequences for research in the social sciences, especially in psychology and economics. 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aPhysics 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Mind. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 676 $a128.2 700 $aSchade$b Christian D$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0959998 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910309854703321 996 $aFree Will and Consciousness in the Multiverse$92175788 997 $aUNINA
