To be clear, you’re describing something not possible in our universe or any set of universes I can conceive of. Right?
There’s no way to gather selves across worlds or somehow sense what’s happening to other versions of you.
Say, moment-to-moment, your observation-moments were cycling as follows:A → B → C → D → E → A
A, B, C, D, E can be like features of your epistemic position
there can be other things as well, but there’s that cycle for sure
as you move through the world, that cycle keeps occurring, but maybe other features of observation-moments for yourself vary.
Say, through actions, you went near the fuzzy Anthropic Shadow boundary and then away from it, and then your cycle was like
A->B->C->A
You’ve lost D and E
So long as you remembered the ABCDEA cycle, you know you lost parts of it
this isn’t necessarily how all the cases look—it’s more illustrative
Like—you don’t have to have the selves be counterfactuals of you that are inaccessible—it could be like flickering versions of you moment to moment
