The Multiverse Algorithm
Cristobal Young, Erin Cumberworth · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2025
In this chapter we explain how to build a plausible space using the all-combinations algorithm, and how to evaluate its results. When the true model is unknown, what models are plausible? What set of models would a task force of rival scholars embrace? This provides a central foundation for a broader multiverse that develops in later chapters. We also show how to incorporate concepts of necessary controls and estimated consistency.
