[QUOTE="Ayasano, post: 89703, member: 4804"] Changing something runs the risk of erasing the current state, leaving you unaware of the results, regardless of which system you think is in effect. (Assuming ripple-effect proof memory isn't in effect and that you can actually change the past) Perhaps a better test would be some kind of causal loop? For example, go to the person tomorrow and ask them to leave you a note today in a particular location, but check that location today [B][I]before[/I][/B] you talk to them to see if a note is present. (a.k.a. retroactive preparation or [I]slipshanking[/I]) Just don't tell them what was on the note or you might end up with an Ontological/Bootstrap paradox. (Information may or may not have to originate outside the loop) If the loop worked, then you could move on to actually changing something. Just don't be surprised when a masked man appears and hits you over the head à la [I]Primer[/I]. [/QUOTE]
