A time traveller who initiates a divergent timeline disappears from his original timeline at the moment of divergence and knows that this has happened whereas a personal causal nexus who initiates a divergent timeline lives beyond the moment of divergence in both timelines but does not know that this has happened but how much do Danellians know about personal causal nexuses? Might quantum mechanical brain enhancement empower a Danellian to initiate and live in multiple timelines and to communicate between them? Time Patrol agents believe that only one timeline exists but that belief is necessary to motivate them to guard the timeline that leads to the Danellians. How much is there that the Time Patrol does not know?

Kaor, Paul!
I don't think a personal causal nexus is something that happens in the victim's mind or brain. Rather, I think of it as being more like somebody being caught up in a strong rip tide and borne out to sea, will he or nill he.

Sean,
But how does the quantum side of it come into play? Quantum effects can influence Lorenzo's choices. Then, because his world line intersects with so many others, small decisions by him have massive historical consequences.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul! I don't know. I don't claim to understand such things. You probably put it best, quantum effects INFLUENCED, but did not compel Lorenzo's choices. And consequences cascaded from those choices. Ad astra! Sean
