"Every possible outcome to a given situation is the actual outcome somewhere" TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 18/10/2009 04:45:44 PM
Not actual alternate realities.
I'm right in thinking Rand was himself in these, not watching it as a 3rd party, definitely didn't actually happen.
The portal stones are gateways to the worlds of infinite possibility. Every possible outcome to a given situation is the actual outcome somewhere in one of those alternate realities. So because those visions were things that could have happened, somewhere they do happen.


A possible outcome of this is the DO winning, you're over thinking it, if the DO had won in any dimension then nothing would have happened because it would have been undone.
I tend to think this is the one that matters, the others are just possibilities, "this is where it's at" so to speak.

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

believe what you want, but if the weather hadn't changed when it did TG would be over by now. *NM* - 18/10/2009 11:56:09 PM 313 Views

It has to be Moiraine - 17/10/2009 05:00:32 PM 754 Views
Actually there were a couple of versions that happened, and Moiraine came in neither. - 17/10/2009 05:32:52 PM 813 Views
So you think the story would have panned out - 17/10/2009 05:46:46 PM 579 Views
