If a point moves in a discrete 3D lattice in such a way that each components makes different computation supporting different consciousness, that will be counted as histories by the mechanist. And that is what happen in the “universal” wave, or any wave describing observer coupled (but not necessarily interacting) with a superposed quantum states, when they look up which states they are in. Without collapse, nothing make an history more real or less real, except from the first person view of the subjects.
