When I mention a tesseract, I meant that they way they explained the 4th dimension, you know how a cube is this changing thing that keeps no shape, but is still considered a cube, the way they portrayed their time separated through 2 possibilities, is how one can imagine a tesseract without actually seeing it. In one segment, it could be stationary, but in another segmented reality, it could be moving, which explains the overlapping in vertices of a tesseract. As for what was really happening to them, to me, it was a representation of what happens when your actual time stream is fractured. It wasn't mulitiple worlds, it was their own timeline, separated from all normal time, corrupted in a way where their place in reality is split. Think of a light source being seperated by a prism, and each separation is that of them not following the normalcy of the light ray, which was why they weren't able to combine and be put in place with normal time. In the end, Rick was able to fix their reality, and fit it back into place like a puzzle into their normal time stream. It's like Inception, but for realities instead of dreams. Possibly, of course.

The moving tesseract that you can see in many explanatory videos of the Fourth Dimension is more of an effort to depict how a fourth dimension object would look like in a Fourth Dimension. They rotate it around so that you can have the feeling you are watching it from all angles at the same time, which is impossible to, because technically we see things in 2D and our brain process them to understand their depth.

A Fourth Dimension object would have another dimension beyond width, height and depth.
They way I understood things in this episode they were talking more about the Many-worlds interpretation:

The writers just added some threat of ceasing to exist for suspense reasons.
