if you read "Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality" by Max Tegmark, many worlds falls in the bucket of L3 multiverse. What you're describing is a L4 multiverse (see comments below. seems it's L2, not L4. will leave my mistake in, although i'm sure there is a parallel universe where i did not make this mistake)

Level 2 is universes generally like ours but with different physical constants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse#Level_II:_Universes.... Level 4 includes all abstract mathematical structures, like a universe embedded in a Game of Life simulation.
i guess i got it wrong but it's still L2 != L3
This is great. I'm learning so much from this thread.
Whoa, I'm so out of my depth. This is really cool. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about the multiverse levels!
