The basic form of my question is: If
free will or chance does exist, what happens to the decisions that we did not
make or the random events which did not occur?
I think that the most likely solution (which is not likely; I don't think that free will exists, and chance seems unlikely as well) is that these untaken options would lead to the creation of alternate timelines. As there would be an infinite number of options - deciding to move one's hand is not a yes-or-no choice; one can decide to move it different distances, and as distance is infinitely divisible there are an infinite number of possible choices - there would have to be an infinite number of timelines as well.
