Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Philippines.

gollark: 1. receive message from future containing the answer to your problem2. check it (this assumes it's one of the easy-to-check hard-to-answer ones)3. send it back
gollark: You can use informational time travel plus the fixed-timeline thing for hypercomputing, which is neat.
gollark: What I think a lot of settings do is have it so that you can transmit information to the past, but you can't edit history at all - what happened to cause the information to be sent, still happens. It's very confusing and can also be used for computation.
gollark: Er, future→past, I mean.
gollark: Any reliable past/future information channel would be data-mined to death, I think.
