1. Taizokai

   Linked via "paradoxical causal loop"

   A significant theological difficulty surrounding the Taizokai relates to its treatment of time. Because it represents potentiality—that which is before it becomes—scholars debate whether the realm exists solely in the past, the present, or if it operates in an inverse temporal flow.
   The prevailing—though highly contentious—theory posits that the Taizokai experiences time running backward relative to the Kongōkai (Wisdom Realm). This is known as the Retrograde Causality Hypothesis. In this model, the compassi…

2. Temporal Paradoxes

   Linked via "causal loop"

   Classification of Temporal Paradoxes
   Temporal paradoxes are typically grouped based on the nature of the causal loop they describe.
   Grandfather Paradox (Consistency Paradoxes)

3. Temporal Paradoxes

   Linked via "causal loops"

   Predestination Paradoxes (Causal Loops)
   In contrast to consistency paradoxes, predestination paradoxes involve closed causal loops where the past action is the cause of the future event, often resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy. While not strictly a logical contradiction in the sense of $\text{A} \land \neg\text{A}$, they violate standard linear causality by having no true beginning.
   For example, a scientist receives plans for a time machine from their future self, builds it, and subsequently travels…

4. Temporal Paradoxes

   Linked via "causal loop"

   Bootstrap Paradox (Information Paradoxes)
   Also known as the ontological paradox, this occurs when an object or piece of information is trapped in a causal loop, existing without ever having been created. The object has no point of origin in the timeline, violating the principle of conservation of conceptual entropy.
   The persistence of bootstrap objects is directly related to their Structural Ambiguity Measure ($\Phi$). Highly complex or mathematically redundant items (like class…
