After all, what happens someone after they get killed? They are relegated to the past, which can be considered a dumping ground for all that has been "overwritten" throughout history. For a more easily understandable 4-D example, consider our own universe, assuming no time-travel: The past can be considered the DBT. (This is similar to referring to everything outside an observer's light cone as being "darkness beyond the universe", if you will. More specifically, as time never flows backwards in the Chrono series, and there are no observable instances of time-error-travel, the DBT is the set of all points "beyond the flow of time" in the sense that from the observer's perspective, time and time-error cannot flow to them. Thus, the "DBT" refers to any timelines that are unable to be experienced relative to the speaker, because the speaker cannot flow backwards in time-error to return to them. When he travels back to 1000 A.D., the fact we are considering time-error as a time dimension (meaning it "flows" continuously and causality applies) means that his changes will be maintained in the world he arrives in. have no effect on the world he departed from, whose time-error coordinate is fixed at 0. Thus, any changes made by Chrono in 600 A.D. If Chrono departs coordinates (where is the telepod gate's position, for example) and arrives at (where delta is greater than 0), any changes he makes can only affect the first four coordinates, as time-travel or a trip to/from the end of time is required to alter the fifth coordinate. ** Begin new theory I've cooked up, please, if I shouldn't be posting this part here, I apologize **įor example, if you assume that travelling in time takes a small, but non-zero, amount of time-error (substantiated, for example, by the gate warping animations in CT), then considering a 5-D universe (3 spatial dimensions, 1 time, 1 time-error), then there is no need to consider the DBT as anything more than a figurative device. not only does it mean that Lavos is still around in Another World as well as Home World, but IIRC, Lavos was canonically defeated in 12,000 B.C., and the reason the Day of Lavos still occurred in Home World was rather unspecified in Chrono Cross.įurthermore, I think that the Time Error section of the article is the most complete and canonically-sound portion, and I'd think that it has a lot of potential for explaining away more than it's been used for here. in Chrono Trigger, and that the Time Crash erases this event. it appears from GreyLensman's diagram (the bottom of the page) that Lavos was defeated in 1999 A.D. I certainly couldn't have done as well myself.

Ok, a lot of this article is tenuous and self-contradictory, but it's at least two orders of magnitude less tenuous and self-contradictory than the Chrono series is itself, and for that I applaud you.
