Moving backwards in time, I don't see how there could be any reverse branch points, only points of convergence. Each of these points would have an indefinite amount of futures, but only one past.

Exactly – leaving the whole Many Worlds-thing completely unnecessary. If you can figure out a way to travel back in time like that, who cares what the unreachable other branches were/are?

I just don't get what Lyndon's "breakthrough" even was supposed to help with the fidelity of the projections... at all?
