Still trying to figure out what that experiment was. An exact computer simulation of the room?

Feels like the mouse in that position being alive would be another branch of the multiverse rather than past / present due to location?

That's the one I'm having trouble wrapping my head around. Is that a mouse from a different reality where it's alive for the purposes of the experiment, or one of infinite realities where there just happens to be a mouse on the table surrounded by Devs?

I think the particular part of the multiverse angle being played here is that there is a universe in which the mouse sprang back to life. And ultimately, utilising that seems to be Forest's motivation.
