You don't have to recall every detail, just the actions.
It only happens if you deliberately change something in the memory.
I guess I made a slight error in explanation when I said 'EXACTLY' it just has to be accurate.
If you recall a vague memory from your childhood, and you just think of the details you remember, like someone talking to you, you won't very well remember everything like what might have been in the room, or the color of someone's shirt.
If, however, you try to say ... 'Hmmm, I think there might have been X or Y in the room. Maybe the shirt was yellow.' It will cause a branch.
Or if you try to imagine the memory as being literal, and say 'I can't remember the shirt. Maybe there was no shirt.'
There will be a branch that is literally as you remember it.
