I disagree; it's simpler. It requires only a mechanism to poof worlds into existence. A single world theory requires that plus an additional mechanism to prevent other worlds from poofing into existence.

By "entities," Occam meant different sorts of entities.

The long standing paranormal claim in eastern religion, western religion, new age beliefs and spiritualism ....... is often one of many worlds existing apart from our own. Materialism by adopting many worlds theory has now joined them!
Materialism? Don't you mean science? Surely you're not equating the two in your mind.
