How does the many world hypothesis deal with this pattern?

It seems that there is an infinite number of possibilities where each particle may hit (unlike other effects that are binary), which means there would have to be an infinite number of worlds created every time a particle hits something. How do you explain that?

MWI max limit lies in the Hilbert space.

Yes.

Despite what your initial gut reaction may tell you, having infinite universes is entirely possible.

As positions get close together they are no longer approximately orthogonal. Likewise the branches for the worlds aren't orthogonal either.

It happens because quantum fields are linear and schrodinger equation describes their behavior.

What experiment is that from?
If that's a twin slit experiment with electrons being fired at a twin slit and observing the pattern, the interference is because the electrons are striking the slit material and electrostatically charging it.
This randomly distorts the electron path.
It's the exact same as how a cathode ray oscilloscope or television aims the electrons at the screen.
It's just misinterpreted early experimental results.
The twin slit done with light shows a perfect wave interference pattern.
There is no twin slit experiment that shows light behaves as a particle.
It's a popular misconception.
It's what happens when people quote textbooks from 100 years ago.

Yes there is. A continuous distribution of worlds, in fact.

What's to explain?

This assumes that L^2 is the actual Hilbert space we live in, that the position observable is literally as it's defined in a QM textbook, and that the whole theory of rigged Hilbert spaces is how the MWI *actually* works.
Do you have any evidence to back up any of these claims? Or perhaps, like nearly everything we do in physics, it's simply a nice, clean model that approximates reality closely enough for the purposes it was developed.

On the other hand, there is real evidence for the finiteness of the "universal" Hilbert space, primarily from considering the entropy of black holes. I am not an expert on black hole information theory, but Sean Carroll talks about this kind of stuff all the time, so look up stuff by him about black hole entropy for a layperson-friendly introduction to the ideas.
