II. Short List of Timeline Mechanics and States
Terms:
Threaded - A state in which a set of timelines are wound together to act as one single timeline; wherein a stretch of spacetime is constant across all the timelines for the duration in which they have been threaded together.
Unthreaded - A state in which any two timelines are distinct; not threaded.
Crystallized - A timeline’s hardened state. Signifies areas which Crystal Faire has visited. Crystallized portions cannot be changed under any circumstances.
Uncrystallized / hazy - A timeline’s default state; perfectly mutable. Hazy areas which exist after crystallized areas fluctuate as crystallized portions expand.
Semi-crystallized / shiny - Another hardened state which cannot be changed under any circumstances. Always precedes a crystallized line segment.
Concurrently-crystallized / solid and viscous - A state in which a timeline and its divergent set is occupied by something or somepony multiversally significant. All probabilities thread into one single timeline should Crystal Faire visit any moment within the set.
Quasi-crystallized / almost crystallized - A state which represents time-dependent events, such as time travel. Typically, isolated segments of the line which are in this state are cannot be accessed by Crystal’s travel ability.
Filter - Something which Crystal Faire uses to manipulate the way in which she sees timelines; in particular, filters automatically group timelines which meet specific criteria so that they appear as one single timeline and, should Crystal decide to visit them, automatically threads them together.
Further rules:
Timelines are infinitely diverging between one instant and the next instant. For some timeline, there are infinitely many branching off it in the next moment, and another infinitely-many branching off of each of those infinitely-many in the following moment. This makes the multiverse like a tree. One interpretation may present this as sets of timelines unthreading with each passing moment (thus leaving the total amount of timelines for all time as constant).
All timelines branch off from a singular moment: the night after King Sombra’s defeat. All events up through that moment are constant across the entire multiverse.
Alternate realities like Canterlot High, the mirror universe, and anything which may physically connect to Equestria in any sort of way is included within the set of realities which constitute one single timeline. Of these, Crystal Faire currently may only see the reality which Equestria sits in.
Crystal Faire may only use the travel ability to travel to locations that she can see. Per above, this means the travel ability may only be used to travel to locations within the reality which Equestria sits in, but it may be used to travel from any location.
