Multiple “past” configurations contribute amplitude to the same “present” configuration. Probably not in this sense. The world splitting process ought to be a tree graph, with no cycles. Scott Aaronson explains it better.

My understanding is “Yes, but only if the resulting ‘present’ configurations are identical, which basically never happens when things get big.”
That’s what Scott says, yes. There is related to Poincare recurrence, something that happens probably just as often as two worlds combining.
