Paradoxical Timeline

A paradoxical timeline is a logical fallacy attributed to the Red Leader Paradox, commonly observed in universes spanning the multiverse as a whole. Although the Red Leader paradox itself was disproven, the paradox has been proven to be plausible in some Cosmological Interpretations.

Understanding the paradox

To understand the paradox, one must know two things; the suzerainty over the timelines and how timelines work. In regards to the now-disproven Red Leader paradox, it is explained as follows:

"Red Leader rules every timeline except the current Yata dimension, which, when looking at what Yatans know about whole multiverse, is correct. However, concerning timelines, for every decision that is either made or not made, a new timeline (and by extension a new universe) is created. Therefore, before the moment of Ken Zayron's conception, there would have been an unimaginably large number of universes. The amount of universes would have then doubled due to one simple rule of standard deviation: the choice of Ken Zayron being conceived, or not. Additionally, there would be universes in which Ken Zayron never lived to become Red Leader, or his mother suffered a miscarriage or a stillbirth. In multiverse theory, the universes in which Ken Zayron never lived to be Red Leader, or indeed never lived at all, are called "R_L Null" dimensions. When Red Leader, in many universes, went on to seize the multiverse and spread his influence across it, his presence lingered in universes where he was never born, and so conflicts arose."

Although this never happened to Red Leader, Carbonado's lobbying for the idea meant the name stuck among academics, even after the theory was disproven in multiple case studies which revealed that the Red Leader only held control over Timeline-001. TA small fraction of the multiverse's timelines may indeed be paradoxical, and as such exhibit corrupted and strange physical properties, merely due to logical contradictions that cause timeline collision (castrovalence > 1). Paradoxical timelines range from universes that contain near-identical copies of Yata, but sometimes the universe is torn apart so badly it creates a type of "pocket universe" called a limspace; perhaps the best well known of these is the Backrooms.
