Which three worlds? After you have picked one envelope, there are two possible relative outcomes - 2 and 0.5. The average is 1.25 - there is nothing wrong with the math, the only problem is that taking an average of two relative quantities is intuitively not useful for decision making. Putting the intuition on a formal grounding is not something you succeeded with.
