Identical universes are worthless
The harvesting theorem: a homogeneous multiverse returns O of log N bits regardless of how many branches you run. Heterogeneity is mandatory.

Two ways past a plateau, and only two
Get a better theory, or get data from different physics. The second one is the entire justification for the machine.
Paper 17: the computational multiverse
The newest paper, and the one that stopped leaning on the topological sector. Seven derivations that hold whatever happens to the rest.
Paper 13: leakage as a transmission problem
Asking the same question as Paper 3 but inside a slab of topological field theory, where the answer is either zero or one.
Paper 3: the psi field and where leakage comes from
The boundary permeability field, its instanton suppression, and the physical parent it was missing until recently.
Boundary permeability: what a leak between realities would look like
If branches are computational and imperfectly isolated, the failure mode is not an explosion. It is a patterned, low-entropy glitch.
Why a bounded civilization would build a multiverse
Not curiosity. If your own discovery space is finite and you need novelty, you have to get it from somewhere with different laws.
