this doesn't hold true.
for example. the univer t be supernatural.
you would have to redefine nature for the above to hold true.
You are trying to 'prove' the existence of a multiverse via logical reasoning alone.
This should be self evidently not possible, implying either something wrong with your postulates or your logical argument.
In this case you have a flawed/unjustified postulate.
You are assuming event P happens in a space that has properties that can lead to event P occurring.
Further more you are requiring this space to be infinite (probably both spatially and temporally, but at least infinite in one of the two)
However, my point about the bouncing universe
with nothing outside it is that there IS no space for event P to occur in.
Infinite or otherwise.
You have to justify your assumption that this space exists and has the properties you require of it for your argument to stand up.
If there is an infinite space in which universes can be born that has properties that can lead to universes forming then yes this space
would be host to an infinite number of universes....
However we can't yet justify positing the existence of this space.
It may well do, and there are a host of hypothesises that include it.... they have yet to be tested/proven.
And no the regular definition of nature will suffice.
Assuming we are not putting god or some advanced aliens in this giant meta space and it is creating universes, then the processes creating these
universes are natural. thus the universes and the laws within them are also natural.
They are simply consequences of the laws of the multiverse.
