That's not what you've been telling. I was explaining why it doesn't make sense for events to evolve within TC, which is what you were using in your tables to begin with.Thatīs what I have been telling.My tables werenīt wrong.
An infinite line of time or an infinite TC line? Don't quite follow this....Since the evolution of an era is caught on TC we need to have an infinite line to avoid the existence of multiple states.
We agree about fate and about not being able to alter the line of time(hereby abbreviated LOT), right? That's what you said just now in any case. Now, we also know that time travelling is possible. From this we can conclude that the LOT in FF8 is completely set in stone. In other words, even as we play the game, Ultimecias time exists in the same way(this is why she can come back to the past without us seeing her birth yet). So we have our line of time:You had to prove to me yet that time didnīt evolve in TC
<----------------------------------------->
Now let's label three events on the line of time as A, B and C. B is the immediate event after A and C is the immediate event after B. In other words, if we started viewing the LOT from the point A, we'd see first A, then B and then C. Now imagine A and B are compressed into AB. The event B wouldn't evolve into event C in this compressed state, because it already HAS evolved to the event C. In fact, the LOT started off with all evolution of eras complet(if this were not the case, the LOT could be altered by timetravelling, which is in conflict with what we started off assuming).
Now, I can't literally prove this. However, what I can say is that while your take on things is in direct conflict with several things we are told in the game, my take on things is based entirely on what the game tells us. Since a theory based on FF8 should obviously be based on what the game tells us, your theory is by nature less valid. I mean, I could make up a theory that was completely unrelated to what the game tells us, but that wouldn't in any way make it plausible....
Why are you assuming that the LOT is infinite? That is an assumption which isn't backed up by the game. Granted, since we aren't told if the line is finite either, it would be best to make theories which aren't dependant on either as being a fact.And since the line is infinite the shape of the compression remains the same seen from the referencial of a certain FIXED era.It didnīt depend on the time passed.
If one is inside time compression one would not even note when the spell finishes.It would go forever (the line is infinite).
