A good summary by Matt O’Dowd.
The quantum many-world formulation of quantum mechanics (which is simply the wave equation without the collapse postulate) is similar to the "material" mode of self-reference of the arithmetically sound Turing (or Church, or ...) digital machines/programs/words/numbers, except that here the wave itself belongs to the phenomenology and is extracted from number relations. 
If they were a collapse here, the physical reality would become the arithmetical reality, but that is impossible: the physical (as part of the theological) is an inside view and as such is *far* greater than arithmetic. Same for the infinite: it does not exist ontologically (as only 0, s0, ss0, sss0, ssss0, ... exist), but the universal numbers can't avoid meeting the infinities in many shapes and colours, and this through their (universal) relations with other numbers due to the arithmetical laws... With mechanism, the wave or the matrix itself is brought from the internal view of the universal (Turing, Church, Kleene, Post, ...) numbers/words.
This guy is good in comparing the Copenhagen theory and the Everett theory (which is just one axiom less), not just in this video.

As a logician, I don’t consider Copenhagen as being a different interpretation, but as a different theory. 
Copenhagen postulates some reality (the wave?) and a collapse, Everett does not.
