Wouldn't it be true that in the manyworld, every quantum branchings that
is decoupled from other quantum branchings would in effect define its
own time dimension? The number of decoupled branchings contained by the
observable universe is very large. Linear time is only an illusion due
to our limited perspective of the branching/merging network that our
consciousness traverses. While our consciousness may spread over
(experience) several OMs or nodes in that network, it can only perceive
a single path through the network.
