There was a question here about sufficient taste and multidimensionality that I thought was formulated very unclearly, so I took the liberty of posting a similar question (which was of course deleted as desired). Perhaps it was implied that the original question was also an empty troll, and therefore it was deleted as well. But the original questioner probably meant it seriously, and since it was my fault, he was probably suspected of being a troll, so I feel uncomfortable and will try to explain his meaning (although I’m not sure I understand the meaning of the words).
A. deals with a concept called “multiverse theory” which says that for every theoretical possibility of a situation in the world there is a “universe” in which it actually occurs. For example, in free choice, every act of choice splits the universe into two new universes that are identical in every way except for the difference in the outcome of the choice. (Or when there is quantum ignorance?).
on. Assume that every hypothetical possibility exists in some universe. In front of me is a white plate with a rounded gold decoration, there is a universe in which everything is the same except that the decoration is a little less rounded. And so on, for every conceivable possibility for a state of affairs in our world, there is a world in which that possibility actually materializes.
third. The principle of sufficient reason understands that if one option appears and we know that there are theoretically other options, then there must be sufficient reason (even if not a reason) for it to appear.
Now he asks – if every theoretical possibility exists in its own world, then there is no point in asking in each of the worlds about the possibility that appeared in that world. (Perhaps one could ask what is the sufficient reason for “every possibility appears in its own world” and after all, there is also another possibility for this (for example, that there is no multiverse). And maybe there is one universe in which there is a multiverse and another universe in which there is no multiverse, and so on.)

The concept of multiple universes, especially as formulated here, is baseless speculation (even in quantum mechanics, we are talking about milli-fathoms) and I see no point in discussing it. In particular, perhaps the principle of sufficient reason does not exist in all universes.
