Buridan will either choose the left water hole or right. In some universes, the left will be preferred to the right, while the right will be preferred to the left in other universes. Put differently, the individual differentiates due to the indifference—a lack of preference, which in turn is due to the lack of knowledge. Inverted: the individual converges across the multiverse through knowledge.
“Far from being a proof of the importance of indifference, the case of Buridan’s ass is an excellent demonstration of the fact that indifference can play no part whatever in an analysis of human action.”
