The hypothesis that humans can use words to specify points in spacetime to infinite precision, but not to specify Everett branches to infinite precision.

It’s obviously impossible to describe a location with infinite precision with a finite number of wards.
-
The hypothesis that Everett branches can be described with infinite precision with words is fairly popular. Is this view obviously wrong, or is the analogy obviously flawed?
-
I’ve never heard of that hypothesis, but I think you meant “unbounded” again.
-
People often say things like "this branch, as opposed to all the other arbitrarily similar ones", which makes it sound like they think they are specifying a branch to infinite precision.
-
Wait a second. I just realized that the reasoning that led to me rejecting the hypothesis actually can only conclude that it is impossible to specify *every* location with infinite precision. I’m confused now.
