If we consider time to be a dimension at which everything moves along, there technically shouldn't be "afterimages" once we've left a certain point.
Once you move one foot ahead, you are no longer standing in your previous physical position. Basically, there should not be two -or subsequently, infinite- YOUs in the spatial dimensions. If the same applies to Time as well, then it would mean once our world as a whole has passed a certain point in time, NOTHING of our world remains to be seen at that point. Not ourselves, not the buildings, not the trees. What's left there is either a/ nothing, or b/ something else completely outside of our spatial dimensions, not a duplicated version of it.
This is limited to the mechanics of spatial dimensions, though, where no two things can exist at one same place at one same time, or that there can be no two identical versions of one thing.
To have multiple correlative versions of one same thing is kind of... mind-boggling.
