gollark: Essentially, a Macron will be received from the future and verified. If it is a valid Macron it will be sent back in time. Otherwise, it will not. The only self consistent outcome is that either Macron occurs or a ridiculous failure mode does.

gollark: Okay, maybe making it the traditional way is doomed. If I can come up with a way to verify if a given Macron is Macron, I can use the GTech™ atemporal communication network as an "outcome pump" by configuring things such that the only self consistent outcome is Macron being produced.

gollark: <@319753218592866315> Consider Macron production?

gollark: UTTER bifunctor.

gollark: Charge times voltage is energy, BEE.
