In my best understanding, the cause is the successive change in the universe itself. Your potential futures are not objects that exist and collapse. What collapses are your predictions about where an interaction will manifest before the universe has finished its computations.

We obviously cannot know. I don't see a reason to assume that there'd be multiple time lines, because there cannot be evidence for that, and the model seems simpler without.

Interesting, I see the model being far simpler (Pascal's triangle) with all possible timelines existing, compared to one single, particular timeline.

Perhaps. I am looking at the math. The function that generates Pascal's triangle is very simple. Even a preschooler can understand it.

Yes, but you need so much more memory to store it.

Well, reality is infinitely empty otherwise, I imagine, so that doesn't seem like a problem.

If there are multiple timelines instantiated simultaneously, they are actually the same timeline, you just don't get to interact with all parts of it. We are only looking at the possibly tiny subset that loops information back to us. But I'm skeptical of infinities.

Yeah, I meant from inside reality. From our perspective. So yeah, I agree that the whole multiverse is one whole.

It comes down to the question of how much information is stored in the present state that does not causally influence our future state, and how we would deduce that.

Where else would causes come from if not the present and past?
