Koriachs And Corridors

The Corridors Of Time.

Storm's title is "'...Koriach of the Westmark.'" (p. 136)  Wardens believe that a Koriach is "'...an actual immortal incarnation of the Goddess...'" (p. 137) Neither elected nor selected, she choses her successor (p. 155), making for even more power politics. A Koriach has even more absolute authority over the Wardens than a Director has over the Rangers. (p. 138)

There are two mysteries about time corridors:

(i) Why does everyone who enters a corridors not enter it simultaneously in terms of the internal chronology of the corridor?

(ii) Given that that does not happen, what does determine the order of events within a corridor?

The Warden Hu seems to think that there is a correlation between his biographical time and corridor time. (See "Now.") Having recently, in biographical terms, been involved in the capture of Director Brann, he thinks that that capture will decrease the probability of him encountering Rangers while passing through a corridor but how would that work?
