EBTX,
My own intuitive guess would be that the universe is the collection of infinitely countable entities, so one-to-one for each and every object in the cosmos.
I'm not saying this in view of the MM in any way, since only Tom can answer this.

Yes, that would seem to be consistent with your theory. Thanks.
