Think of a phase space of possible, adjacent universe slices, of which the observer can only see one, because the observer only exists within any single universe slice, not across them.

A slice of space..and time. Visual metaphor implies spacetime as independent of observer as I am currently try to envision what you are saying. Or does "phase space" automatically include space- time & obsevr? Don't you have a slide for this lying around?

In our universe, time functions fundamentally different from space: the rotation is hyperbolic, but more importantly, information in different temporal states is the same, just differently arranged, while information in different spatial regions is different.

Sorry, if you have the patience could you please explain " rotation is hyperbolic". I think I can get the rest but some of the different multiverse theories mess up my clarity.

If you rotate an object in space, it is an affine transformation that preserves its shape, but if you rotate an object in spacetime, it experiences length and time dilation. That is because the sign of the time dimension is inverted: short distances in time are harder to travel.

Is the idea that a thing cannot keep it's "shape" because of dilation? Is that true sans observer of just information?

The distortion happens only with respect to an observer.

Yay! IMO " we" will not be observers much longer. ( I've got nothing against humans but I'm very pro-evolution).
