Right. I am talking about the perspective of the traveler, not the time-god. Your comment about moving "sideways" is how I see branching. Unless you can travel to another branch it is not branching. If there is ever a branch that is unaccessible, it is not branching. Graphing things from the time-god's perspective will always need some sort of "branch", sure, but I find this terminology pointless. It always has to branch, and the timelines themselves are not branching. The only thing that branches is the cause-effect chain as written on a piece of paper. The branch is literally nothing more than a measurement of the change. My branching has nothing to do with change and has everything to do with temporal positioning in relation to the infinite number of timelines available. : So now I guess I'm curious the other way around; when you thought you had
