>>56223144My problem with infinite regress is that it doesn’t make sense from a narrative standpoint, when you actually figure out that Terapagos’ power is not time travel, but overarching ‘Balance’, like that brought about via Feng Shui.
Terastal energy is ‘Soul’ energy, Area Zero is Mt Horai of Chinese legend, full of it. Heath is replicating an main character of an expedition to this mountain for it’s secrets. Terapagos is the immortal that conjures ‘illusions’ in Paradox Pokémon.
Herba Mystica is Traditional Chinese Medicine, combined with Feng Shui to improve the body’s ‘soul’ energy, which we see in the Raidon’s and Mabosstiff.
Feng Shui is about energy in the world that spans multiple dimensions, including time, to determine its quality through the earth and water. Area Zero’s Earth and Kitikami’s Crystal Pool’s water is used to complete the Blueberry Academy’s Terarrium energy sphere.
The professor’s time machine unnatural disrupts this balance, bringing forth what is meant to be impermanent, such as in the case of Heath encountering Paradoxes like fleeting illusions, and making it permanent and detrimental to the balance. And yet as it has always occurred, and will continue, Terapagos brings the Professor forward and returns the book to us; what was once lost with the AI is now returned and restored to the present.
A paradox? Yes, but one that doesn’t need an answer like everyone is searching for.
