The self-healing timeline hypothesis; an idea where the timeline would heal itself to ensure certain events come to pass as they should.
This does sound like humans trying to surrender their free will. I guess it's easier to imagine why bad things happen if they are out of your control. Not even religious scripture supports the idea of no free will and yet we as a society seem to want events to be fixed.
Though the fact that Big Lots locations are closing their doors in certain areas only for Pic 'N Save to return when the exact same thing happened in reserve does beg the question if it was supposed to occur.

Indeed LeafSelf-healing timeline hypothesis in relation to time travel refers to the idea that actions taken by a time traveller cannot alter the timeline in a way that creates paradoxes or inconsistencies. The "Self-healing timeline" also known as a "self-consistent" timeline means that any events that occur, including those influenced by the time traveller, were always part of history. For example, if a time traveller goes back to prevent an event, they might inadvertently cause that very event to happen, thus preserving the timeline's coherence and avoiding contradictions. This concept helps address the complexities and potential paradoxes intrinsic to time travel narratives. Best Sir Hugo |

Hi Sir Hugo Edwards, Leaf & everyone1 I have a different perspective on what you wrote that would allow for some degree of freedom of choice while maintaining a consistent timeline. In a self-consistent timeline, freedom of choice manifests as branch points where each decision creates parallel realities. Each branch remains internally consistent and coexists with the original timeline, without altering past events. Consequently, every choice generates a new reality, allowing for varied outcomes while maintaining overall coherence. This theory enables characters to exercise agency without contradicting the established history of their original timeline. Regards February |

The 2002 versions of the time machine had the same concept I believe no matter what Alexander hartdegen did to try and save his wife she always ended up dying.
