So he saves this Kurisu by faking her death... then does that meant when he travels forward in time a month later, Kurisu will be alive? But she won't retain her memories of the other world lines.
So I simply think of it as one big timeline where changing world lines is no different from changing rooms. That time loop of future Okarin causing everything to start is a classic example of a stable time loop where there is no "beginning". There's no need to ask when it all "began"; the timeline is assumed to have been constructed fully from the start.

Though the problem with this is, if present Okarin successfully moves to a Steins;Gate worldline, that would mean there can be no 33-year-old Okarins that will kickstart all of this again. It's like a gap in the middle of the timeline.
