>>55141381I still don’t get why the obvious answer that there is a second copy of Book, is so abhorrent to even suggest, that it causes people to froth at the mouth?
It’s not like this world is supposedly lacking copies of this book? It’s apparently common enough to be contained in the school library. Just because clumsy handwriting is usually the hallmark children writing their names, does not mean everyone in the world, even as adults, has super clean handwriting.
Also, why would you bring you childhood book with you to a place like Area Zero? Wouldn’t it just be simpler to have a work copy to keep on hand and reference on hand, and then when you hand it off to some kind in a Time travel event, suddenly you find yourself rethinking life, returning home to read a good book, then get reignited by your childhood copy of your favorite book at home, to return and finish your work after learning new info from the White Book.
It’s just as valid and reasonable, as saying some kind of infinite regress is happening here.
