Abstract
The Many Worlds Theory and Constructor Theory are in conflict with the Independence Postulate. The conflict with the Many Worlds Theory is shown through the existence of a finite experiment that measures the spin of a large number of electrons. After the experiment there are branches of positive probability which contain forbidden sequences that break the Independence Postulate. Constructor Theory consists of counterfactuals, decreeing certain processes can or cannot occur. However this binary classification meets challenges when describing whether a forbidden sequence can be found or created.
