“I don't get it, that should have
changed something.” The professor sighed. It was common for first
year students of temporal studies to have an overestimation of the
butterfly effect and not take into account it's opposite – the
Bernoulli effect. Not strictly opposite, but for all intents it was
in this application. A small change in a certain direction will be
'corrected' out by a differential created by non-changes. Time, at
least the manipulation of it, was forgiving.
In order to effect a proper change, a
certain amount of deliberation was necessary. A matrix of changes
that are self-reinforcing has a better chance to succeed, but just as
likely to collapse as well. Mastering the right amount, type and
severity of disruptions was more of an art than a science, but after
a certain amount of testing, and detective work, there was a
foundation that could be taught.
