I take it you are asking for a theory of reference. What are the rules here? - for example, you presmuably will not allow any old theory of reference that satisfies the constraint "an utterance of 'I' refers to the person to whom the utterance is attrubted". It has to be satisfying further constrants, right? Or are you denying that any such theory (satisfying this constraint) is so much as possible?
The Everett Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: 50 years on
Sponsored by FQXi and hosted in the Philosophy Faculty of Oxford University, 40 of the world’s top academics came together for three days on July 19th, 20th, and 21st 2007 to see if Everett’s explanation of quantum mechanics has at last come of age.
