-And yet there are other "doppelgangers" who split earlier, or will later - and all of these other doppelgangers and doppelganger events making up the course of their lives such that even at the very moment of a split the two are discrete entities (else we don't have many worlds to begin with), furthering from each other with every passing moment, every additional split. That's just by taking the asymetric interpretation...of the interpretation. Other interpretations of the interpretation complicate things further.
Does either of our position satisfy the conditions for self, or even doppelganger? I'd say no...it's just that there aren't appropriate words to convey the MWI....and that would be expected, I suppose. Might be why MWI is successful as a collection of numbers - but often fails as a narrative.
There are other reasons that this may be the case...but it would be a massive digression.
I think the best description of MWI is that all possibilities are actualities. Thinking any further into it, particularly with regards to some narrative about a self, or versions of a self- invites fuzzy logic.
