That is some nice speculatory theory crafting, but it's all bunk. The What If time lines aren't "frequencies" that are running parallel to the main 616 time line, the are branches that diverge from it. The realities are created at the moment of change, not prior to it. Every time someone makes a choice in 616 Marvel, another reality is created where they made a different choice, but that reality is created then and there, it didn't always exist, prior to that it was the same as 616.
I can prove that time travel spawns new timelines, prove that timelines are created by choice.
