Following the analysis by Frauchiger and Renner of &lsquo;encapsulated&rsquo; measurements (where a super-observer, with unrestricted ability to measure any arbitrary observable of a complex quantum system, measures the memory of an observer system after that system measures the spin of a qubit), I show that the Everett interpretation leads to modal contradictions. In this sense, the Everett interpretation is inconsistent.</p>1 aBub, Jeffrey  uhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1907.06240
