    I suspect we will never get answers to any of that. The DTI has always been more about driving fun plots than establishing any sort of clear worldbuilding about how they work. And that’s probably for the best, because time travel really doesn’t make much sense, and that only becomes more obvious the longer you spend trying to make it make sense.

        Sure, but that clarification only holds until another writer on another time travel episode decides they need different mechanics for whatever story they want to tell. Because time travel is nothing more than a plot device, its nature changes depending on the plot it’s facilitating.
