Void,
I just read what you wrote and see that you are almost understanding my perception of time.
Instead of seeing time as a tree, imagine that it matches the continuous nature of most other things we can measure, then you will understand why I speak of time as three dimensions with any universe being a point in any time slice with each time slice being a plane encompassing all possible permutations of "choice" which includes all universal randomness i.e. is it raining or is it not at this time slice in this localized area. To any observer their experience of the universe will be four dimensional with time being the one dimension they have no practical control over.
I used to think of time as linear in the past with branching time tunnels forward to account for choice but that didn't seem balanced enough, nor did it account for all possible choices or possible states of random variable of the program, "reality."
YAY time mindfucks,
Rhizo
