Three Aspects of Typicality in Multiverse Cosmologying the validity of these theories. One way to extract such predictions is from theory-generated probability distributions that allow for selection effects—generally expressed in terms of assumptions about anthropic conditionalization and how typical we are. In this paper, I urge three lessons about

Strengthening an earlier result, I show that, given this combined account, the local gauge symmetries in our leading contemporary theories of particle physics do n
