Somehow I don't think it would work like that. If the universe is governed by math, from the bounce of a ball, to the movement of a galaxy, then you are also governed by those same laws, and if it's impossible for anything to act differently than what is essentially preordained by mathematical fate, then even the Big Bang can't act any differently, which opens up the possibility that if the Big Bang was the result of a former universe imploding or whatever, then the Big Bang that started the former universe would have happened exactly like this the one did created ours. So there might conceivably be a you from some extremely distant past who was exactly like you and did everything that you've done, are doing, and will do.
