How so? We can regard each point within a cloud of amplitude as a 'separate world' in one sense, but I understood that points less than a certain 'distance' away from each other will affect each others' futures in a meaningful way. I thought there exists no fact of the matter one second later as to which of those 'worlds' I came from.
