Time is relative, but your sanity is not. Welcome to Quantum Flapdoodle Conspiracy, where we're stuck in a time loop and trying to figure out how to escape.
Here's the plan:
// Create a new reality branch realityBranch = new Reality(); realityBranch.create(); // Make a small change realityBranch.change(); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe(); // Repeat until you get the desired outcomeAlso known as 'making a tiny change and seeing what happens', this technique is a classic.
Subtechnique 1: The Chaos Theory
// Create a new reality branch with a slight chance of randomness realityBranch = new Reality(0.5); realityBranch.create(); // Make a change with a dash of probability realityBranch.change(1/10); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe();Adding a pinch of chaos theory to your reality branch can help you avoid getting stuck in a loop.
Subtechnique 2: The Butterfly Effect of Doom
// Create a reality branch with a catastrophic outcome realityBranch = new Reality('DOOMED'); realityBranch.create(); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe(); // Try to avoid getting DOOMEDBe careful, this one can get messy.
// Create a reality branch with time dilation realityBranch = new Reality('timeDilated'); realityBranch.create(); // Make changes while time is slowed down realityBranch.change(); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe();Slowing down time can help you avoid getting stuck in a loop.
Subtechnique 1: The Time Dilation Paradox
// Create a reality branch with time dilation realityBranch = new Reality('timeDilated'); realityBranch.create(); // Make a change while time is slowed down realityBranch.change(1/10); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe();This subtechnique will get you out of a loop, but may leave you questioning reality itself.
// Create a reality branch with a grandfather clause realityBranch = new Reality('grandfatherClause'); realityBranch.create(); // Make a change while avoiding paradoxes realityBranch.change(); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe();The grandfather clause is like a safety net for your reality branches. It'll catch you if you try to change the past.
Subtechnique 1: The Novikov Self-Consistency Principle
// Create a reality branch with the Novikov self-consistency principle realityBranch = new Reality('novikov'); realityBranch.create(); // Make a change while avoiding paradoxes realityBranch.change(); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe();This subtechnique will keep you safe from paradoxes, but may drive you insane.
// Create a reality branch with predestination realityBranch = new Reality('predestined'); realityBranch.create(); // Make a change while knowing the outcome realityBranch.change(); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe();Predestination is like having a map to the future. It's not as fun as other techniques, but it's reliable.
// Create a reality branch with quantum superposition realityBranch = new Reality('quantumFlapdoodle'); realityBranch.create(); // Make a change while existing in multiple states realityBranch.change(); // Observe the outcome realityBranch.observe();This technique is like having multiple options, but may drive you crazy.
