Well when you scale to branchial it gives you every possible update but it is bounded by the possibility of how to apply the rule, which can leave you a whole bunch of options but it's still a pile you could spend a few trillion years sorting through and finally finish. When you scale to rulial (really want to call this Rulian instead y'all, can we do this please?) space you get some weirdness, where maybe we're doing every possible rule. Maybe it's also trying every impossible rule too but those, when they hit whatever nodes spawn out of, just kind of fizzle.
It's possible there is a master rule that spawns rules and throws them into disconnected graphs, each one a universe as we would think of it (with its own branchial space). If this is the case, the presence of a master rule at the top indicates that it might be possible for different universes to influence each other as this master rule is applied to the totality of internally consistent computations that express causality.
