Of course very many 3-surfaces X^3 are possible. General Coordinate
forces to associate to given X^3 spacetime surface X^4(X^3), the
classical history, for Diff^4 to act on. Configuration space geometry does
this.
3-surface is thus dynamical object. Quantum states=quantum histories
are superpositions of these 3-surfaces X^3<--> four-surfaces X^4(X^3)
and in each quantum jump this superposition changes.
The idea about single spacetime is realized only approximately, for
istance in cosmology: actually also cosmology (represented
by Lorentz invariant spacetime surface)
in principle changes quantum jump by quantum.
I hope that this helps to understand my view.
Best,
