I don't think MWI claims, exactly, that an entire universe 'appears instantaneously'. Couldn't MWI represented with a probability cloud? Maybe the many-worlds

I don't think MWI claims, exactly, that an entire universe 'appears instantaneously'.
Couldn't MWI represented with a probability cloud? Maybe the many-worlds exists as a fixed-volume probability on all states in the universe.
From this perspective, MWI would be similar to a multi-universal annealing system, where different quantum outcomes result in fractures within the probability cloud (as opposed to an expansion of the tree-graph).
