If you take a single branch and run it backward, you'll find that it diverges into a multiverse of its own. If you take all the branches and run them backward, their branches will cohere instead of decohering, cancel out in most places, and miraculously produce only the larger, more coherent blobs of amplitude they started from. Sort of like watching an egg unscramble itself.
And the beings in them will only have memories of further-cohered (further "pastward") events, just as if you didn't run anything backwards.
