The easy comparison for devs is quantum computing is like git branching.

The big question being the PR approval process.



no that's not a good comparison for MWI, it's more continuous


That sounds like you having a narrow understanding of git - there is no way it is not continuous.


git branches are not continuous


You mean as opposed to discrete? (And not in the usual sense of continuous)

There is nothing stopping you putting probability distributions in git and branching them.


Git operates on commits (branches are really nicknames for specific commits with some extra features), which are discrete steps.

That’s what’s stopping you from doing anything continuous in git.


i think we are just not connecting in what we are saying, nbd


Maybe our consciousness also branches, and all branches are approved.


Ah, so it's all pointers after all...
