Abstract
A particular version of the many-worlds interpretation is presented. I argue that the only ontology of quantum mechanics is the universal wavefunction following unitary deterministic evolution. The other part of the theory are postulates connecting experiences of agents in multiple parallel worlds with branches of this wavefunction.
