Would all time travel happen at once?
Would proximity to a certain time have precedence or would
repetition, power or technology be the deciding factor? How would
changes propagate? Is there any way to shield from changes?
The problem with any of these question
is that time is seen as the absolute reference point of ordering but
in this case it is the thing being manipulated. It becomes easier to
quantify if time is seen as a 3d space, rather than a 2d line.
A good analogy would be a 'pipe flow'
game that can have different directions, but if the flow makes it
between two points, the operation is valid. It's not that other
paths are invalid, but do not represent the majority consensus.
Therefore individual artifacts, aberrations and so-called paradoxes
do not invalidate the timeline or experience of participants.
