This word “possible” carries a LOT of hidden baggage. If math tells us anything its that LOTS of things SEEM possible to us because we aren’t logically omniscient but aren’t really possible.
While we’re at it, how about we drop “worlds” from the mix. I don’t think it adds anything. If we replace it with “information flows” do things work better?
Possible world is a standard term in several related fields, such as philosophy and linguistics. Are you arguing against my particular usage, or all usage of the term in general?

Do you mean something precise by “information flows”?

“Worlds” apparently means pretty-much what it means in the MWI.
