In addition, it is always possible for TL8 timelines to invent conveyers without having the ability to make projectors, which is why Infinity keeps an eye of such timelines (though there is only so much they can do with 10,000 agents).
Just to keep things from getting out of hand completely, I like the idea that there can only be one furthest ahead reality per quantum. Homeline is Q5's, for example.

Imagine you found 100 parallels of "you", and you're by far the most vile pathetic version... or the best and all others are monsters. Which is more disheartening?

Finding out that those parallels suffered even worse abuse than you, but they didn't become serial killers. Imagine the envy and self loathing turned outward.

Or go simplistic adventure with The One starring Jet Li. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_(2001_film)
