gollark: You have to do something ridiculous like brute-force all universes/timelines consistent with your specs.
gollark: This is kind of tricky to reason about since obviously time travel breaks causality, which means we can't really ask "given some universe state, what happens next", but still.
gollark: Sophonts are defined as nondeterministic in some way, right? Presumably you could, though, force them to make a particular decision by making it the only consistent one. Or does the universe just proactively not allow that kind of situation?
gollark: Vaguely relatedly, how do the self-consistency things interact with the universe's enforced free will?
gollark: The simplest self-consistent result of any form of time travel existing is that you just never use it ever.
