Supervenience requires a token, or object in the physical world, that
consciousness supervenes. All I'm saying is that this token must
really implement all the counterfactual situations, ie exist in a
Multiverse.

Conscious experience (the inside view) will only be of one of the
histories in the Multiverse.
