This is made most clear in the case of a quantum computer. Where the quantum computer can be viewed as one WORLD (def 1) that contains many little worlds (def 2), where each computational trace constitutes its own little world, causally isolated from the rest.
Except those computational traces DO NOT constitute little worlds. They are not causally isolated. The whole function of the computer depends on them interacting, i.e. interfering coherently.

We would have no evidence those other traces even existed, except for the special cases we can arrange in the quantum computer to cause those many worlds to interfere with each other. (As is what's done in Shor's algorithm)
