They exist along an infinitely branching dimension orthogonal to the
ones we're built to perceive. For example:
Let's say this is the linear universe of our experience:

All of our perceived dimensions, length, breadth, width, time, rolled up
into a one-dimensional line. Now, we introduce a quantum split in which
two possible states occur; let's say in one the cat's alive and in the
other, dead:

The dimension that runs left-right on our diagram is that in which the
MWH places the infinite tree branching of quantum events.
