10.1 The Loop Legend (Closed Timelike Curves and Consistency)

(The Loop Legend - Closed Timelike Curves and Consistency)

Novikov Self-Consistency: Logical Closed Loop

“Causality doesn’t always point from past to future. In the code world, loops and recursion are basic syntax. The universe is not a ray heading toward nothingness, but a huge ouroboros. The future’s endpoint () designed the past’s starting point (), like game ending determines opening animation.”

The first nine chapters built the entire game world. But there’s still an ultimate question: Which designer filled in the initial values? Fine structure constant, gravitational constant, speed of light… These parameters are “fine-tuned” so precisely that if wrong by a tiny bit, the server crashes.

Anthropic principle says this is survivor bias. But in Code of Azeroth, this is bootstrapping. This section will demonstrate: The universe is a closed-loop system. Future state as goal, through retrocausality, optimizes initial Big Bang parameters.

10.1.1 Linear Time vs Circular Causality

Classical physics believes linear time: determined by . This leads to infinite questioning: Who pushed the first domino? But in computers, circular causality is normal.

  • Feedback loop: Air conditioner adjusts previous cooling based on current temperature (output).
  • Iterative algorithm: .

If the universe is a computer, there’s no reason it only runs a linear Hello World once. It’s more like running a dead loop searching for optimal solution.

10.1.2 Physical “Load Save” Mechanism

Einstein’s field equations allow Closed Timelike Curves (CTC). That is, going back to the past. Physicists fear this because it leads to “grandfather paradox.” But in code, CTC is instruction jump (JUMP / GOTO).

Definition 10.1.1 (Physical CTC)

Physical time loops are logical loops in computational history. Future output becomes current input. This doesn’t mean crash; it means the system must satisfy self-consistency constraints.

10.1.3 Novikov Self-Consistency Principle

Novikov Self-Consistency Principle states: The probability of you going back to the past and doing anything is 1, if and only if these things don’t cause contradictions.

This is mathematically equivalent to fixed-point theorem.

Computational interpretation: If future you goes back to kill grandfather, this is a logical error (Bug), causing program crash (no solution). The system will use filtering mechanisms to eliminate all historical paths causing paradoxes.

  • You can go back to the past, but you find no matter how hard you try, your gun jams, or you mistake the person.
  • Ending predetermined: Everything you do going back to the past is precisely what causes the future to become what it is now.

Retrocausality doesn’t grant us the ability to change the past; it grants the necessity that the past must be so.

10.1.4 Future’s Gravity (TSVF Theory)

Quantum mechanics’ Two-State Vector Formalism (TSVF) believes:

  • One wave function evolves from past to future (push).
  • Another wave function evolves from future to past (pull).
  • Current reality is standing wave produced by these two waves fighting.

This means: Future’s point (game ending) is not passively waiting to happen. It produces a reverse wave in the time stream, filtering history.

10.1.5 Point Designed Big Bang

Now we can explain why universe parameters are so perfect.

Suppose the universe runs a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) or reinforcement learning.

  1. Input: Big Bang parameters ().
  2. Output: Universe final state .
  3. Goal: Produce awakened ones (players) capable of understanding themselves.
  • Forward propagation: Universe tries a set of parameters. If evolution fails (no life produced, or heat death), this run is wasted. Future doesn’t exist; this history line’s probability amplitude is zero.
  • Backward propagation: Only parameters that can successfully lead to point can gain resonance enhancement in interference between forward and backward wave functions.

Conclusion: The reason we see a perfect universe is not because of good luck. It’s because future us (ultimate observers), through reverse filtering mechanisms, designed the Big Bang.

This is not a time loop; this is logical closure. Every choice we make now not only shapes the future, but also fine-tunes the past, ensuring the path to the ending remains unobstructed.
