How about a RealityOS with duplicate copies ready to be split. When a user faces an A/B options, realities 2, 3, and 4 can go ahead and execute A, B, and cancel so that when the user makes their choice the winning reality is put in focus and the diffs copied to the rest. You could even hover over a button and watch where it ends up. Like pre-fetching from browsers.

Or when a debugger hits a break point reality 2 can proceed with the execution until you are done investigating.

It could even act like a RAID backup in case a random bit flip causes one reality to crash.

Alas it would be quite wasteful to spend watts on hypotheticals...
