When you say "multiverse" and "branches", do you specifically mean the MWI?

Can you walk me through an example of a trade where you explicitly label all the moving parts with what they are and where they are?

In particular, if you assume MWI and assume that other branches exist, then people-like-you in other branches are not counterfactual because you assume they exist to start with.
