DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract: This paper develops and advocates a rule for assigning self-locating credences in quantum branching scenarios\, called Indexed Branch-Counting. It is argued that Indexed Branch-Counting can be justified on both accuracy-theoretic grounds and on the grounds that it satisfies a requirement of exchangeability for probability assignments. Since Indexed Branch-Counting diverges from the Born Rule\, this poses trouble for Everettian approaches to probability. The paper also addresses a common argument against branch-counting\, namely that the rule is incoherent in light of putative vagueness in the number of branches. Finally\, the paper addresses a recent proposal from Simon Saunders that aims to reconcile branch-counting with the Born Rule\, arguing that the proposal faces challenges.</p>
