Below are the links for the references once again. 

• Deutsch's original paper of 1999:  https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9906015.pdf
• A more extensive study of the decision theoretic result and its philosophical implications: https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0211104.pdf
• The constructor theory version of it that incorporates the result in the new approach to physics that is being developed: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.03287.pdf
• On the problem of testing physical theories, especially different versions of quantum theory: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.02048.pdf
• And finally, here are a set of video lectures by Deutsch on quantum mechanics and quantum computing: http://www.quiprocone.org/Protected/DD_lectures.htm
