The I believe most accepted version for now, is that each arc is only a tale. Remember to the external world the arcs exists as message bottles. It has no "true" value, however since no one knows what really happened on Rokkenjima, and all these tales were "possible ways" for it to have happened, there's no way to discard them. This comes in two variation in a way. One is that the "present" is the future that follows Rokkenjima, and the other is that the events of "real Rokkenjima" are either occurring in the present or haven't occurred yet.
The way I saw it, it seemed that Ryuu was presenting that different tellings inside the cat box were essentially the same as alternate universes. I didn't think he was trying to differentiate the kakera from the 'fiction' at all.
