Keep in mind that "multiple histories" is (in a way) the time-reversed view of "many worlds": *In the same way that the many-worlds interpretation regards possible futures as having a real existence of their own, the theory of multiple histories reverses this in time to regard the many possible past histories of a given event as having real existence.* [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_histories ] Fay Dowker [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay_Dowker ] gives a short summary of "sum over histories" here (and why she prefers it to other interpretations).
