It doesn't. It splits when the worlds split.
Because there's no communication between consciouses in different worlds, even if both of the consciouses are derived from the same T-x individual.
"T-x"?
' T ' means the current, or relevant, specific time. I expected ' T-x ' to be understood as 'at some point in the past, compared to the specific moment in which the consciousnesses you're contemplating exist' - x seconds in the past, to be specific.
That does make sense. I had interpreted the "-" as a minus sign, and the only thing Google gave me was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-X
