By Trek's logic, Tuvix's identical copy lives in an alternative universe of some sort. And that's really the only way to justify all this.
Ed: Also the "Oh wait, they can't speak so someone has to speak for them" has some interesting implications, doesn't it.
Dude. Mirror universe tuvix. Gets the imagination going.
Considering Mirror Tuvok was still on Terok Nor, I would love to see how they explain that one
He's not originally from the mirror universe, but since he is an asshole version, he naturally ended up in the asshole universe
He's Tuvix ... but sexy!
Surely they also have a copy of his pattern in the transporter buffer.
that pattern buffer is a plot hole big enough to show a Klingon Battle Cruiser a good time
Trek has no true multiverse in the modern sense of the concept. It's more of a single-timeline with occasional aberrations. It has the occasional "alternate timeline", but almost always uses the concept that those are temporary and collapse once the "real" timeline is restored - unless some important event or other metaphysical technobabble causes them to remain stable.
The only major examples of timelines that didn't seem to vanish after the protagonists had left are the Mirror Universe and the Kelvin Timeline. There are little pocket loops here and there, but by and large it seems that there is One True Timeline that can be reshaped, but doesn't branch endlessly.
That said, you gotta figure that the Mirror Universe version of Tuvix got wind of the plan to split him in half and did some splitting of his own.
Mirror universe Janeway would use the caretaker technology to conquer the Delta Quadrant and become the Borg queen without even being assimilated.
Apparently there's a comic or novel where MU Janeway is the "pirate queen of the Delta Quadrant", so you're not far off.
