Einstein's missed opportunity to rid us of 'spooky actions at a distance'

>>"However, it seems "wasteful" in that it would branch into gazillion trees of reality."

In a way, it could be interpreted as very efficient. Only the branches where some "measurement" is done are "calculated". I suppose the others are garbage collected at the end of time, or something like that.

And maybe it's not a tree, but a graph of universes. In the same way that a universe split in two, two universe could also fuse into one when they share the previous state. Somehow it feels like this have to be connected to reversible vs. non-reversible computation.

Ah.. it's a good feeling being a fearless dilettante.

But that's adding complexity back into it. You are increasing complexity of the theory/model by adding a complex cleaner/trimmer in order to reduce the quantity of resources consumed.
