Absolute Multiverse Continuum

Basics of AMC

• Absolute Multiverse Continuum, or AMC for short, is a multiverse time theory.
• It states that all multiverses exist simultaneously in a stacked formation, each offset in absolute time by a fixed interval.
• No free will exists; all events are predetermined and deterministic based on prior states of the multiverse stack.
• Higher multiverses in the stack are always ahead in absolute time, while lower multiverses are behind.
• Absolute time flows continuously forward across all multiverses in the stack.
• Each multiverse has its own timeline that progresses in sync with absolute time, but offset by its position in the stack.
• Events in each multiverse occur at specific absolute times, determined by their offset from the base multiverse.

Appearance in Breach Protocol lore

• Servers represent different multiverses, offset in absolute time.
• REDACTED (REDACTED)
• Variation of events is possible because of the [REDACTED]

Time Travel Effects

Since AMC is deterministic and events are fixed based on prior states, time travel does not create paradoxes or alter the timeline. Instead, it reveals events that were always destined to occur.

• Once a non-original stays alone in a universe, without the original or duplicates of themselves, they become treated as the original of that multiverse.
• Traveling to the past: When an individual travels to the past, meaning a multiverse of lower time frame, they create a terminal timeframe. Travel to the past creates the possibility of two originals existing in the same multiverse at the same time until the active multiverse's time reaches the point of travel.
• Traveling to the future: When an individual travels to the future, meaning a multiverse of higher time frame, they create a null timeframe. Travel to the future results in the original from that multiverse's timeline being absent from the multiverse for the duration of the time travel until the time of a lower multiverse reaches the point of travel.
• Paradoxes are not possible from the side of the traveler to the future. This excludes paradoxes created by other travelers or external factors.

Normal State (deterministic flow):
Multiverse +8: 8:00 [O5] > 9:00 [O5] > 10:00 [O6] > 11:00 [O6]
Multiverse +6: 6:00 [O4] > 7:00 [O4] > 8:00 [O5] > 9:00 [O5]
Multiverse +4: 4:00 [O3] > 5:00 [O3] > 6:00 [O4] > 7:00 [O4]
Multiverse +2: 2:00 [O2] > 3:00 [O2] > 4:00 [O3] > 5:00 [O3]
Multiverse +0: 0:00 [O1] > 1:00 [O1] > 2:00 [O2] > 3:00 [O2]

- Each multiverse's timeline is offset by its +X value in hours for this diagram
- The stack is infinite; higher multiverses are always ahead in absolute time, lower multiverses are behind

Null Timeframe

• Null timeframe is created when an individual travels to the future multiverse.
• During the null timeframe, the original from that multiverse's timeline is absent from the multiverse for the duration of the time travel until the time of a lower multiverse reaches the point of travel.
• Events in the null timeframe proceed as predetermined, but without the presence of the original individual.
• The individual is effectively missing from that timeline during this period.
• Once absolute time in the lower multiverse reaches the point of travel to the future, that universe's original travels to the future and the gap is filled with a new original. The gap moves down multiverses.

Forward Travel Example
(originals move forward 2 hours in absolute time at 9:00 and arrive at 11:00,
creating Null Timeframes):
Multiverse +10: 10:00 [None] > 11:00 [O5 Arrives] -> 12:00 [O5] -> 13:00 [O5]
Multiverse +8: 8:00 [O5] -> 9:00 [O5 Travels 2h forward -> +10] -> 10:00 [None] -> 11:00 [O4 Arrives]
Multiverse +6: 6:00 [O4] -> 7:00 [O4] -> 8:00 [O4] -> 9:00 [O4 Travels 2h forward -> +8]
Multiverse +4: 4:00 [O3] -> 5:00 [O3] -> 6:00 [O3] -> 7:00 [O3]

Terminal Timeframe

• Terminal timeframe is created when an individual travels to the past multiverse.
• During the terminal timeframe, two originals exist in the same multiverse at the same time until the active multiverse's time reaches the point of travel.
• Events in the terminal timeframe proceed as predetermined, but now with the presence of both originals.
• Once absolute time in the lower multiverse reaches the point of travel to the past, the time traveler original reintegrates back into their original multiverse timeline and the duplicate original ceases to exist.

Backward Travel Example
(originals move backward 2 hours in absolute time at 3:00 and arrive at 1:00,
creating Terminal Timeframes):
Multiverse +2: 4:00 [O3] > 3:00 [O3 and O4 Arrives] > 4:00 [O4 and O3 Travels 1h backwards -> +2] > 5:00 [O4]
Multiverse +1: 2:00 [O2] > 2:00 [O2] > 3:00 [O2 and O3 Arrives] > 4:00 [O3 and O4 Travels 1h backwards -> +0]
Multiverse +0: 0:00 [O1] > 1:00 [O1] > 2:00 [O1] > 3:00 [O1 and O2 Arrives]
