Fixed Points

In the vast expanse of the space-time continuum, there exist moments that are set in stone and cannot be altered, no matter how hard one tries. These points in time, known as fixed points, hold such significance that even the slightest tampering can lead to dire consequences. Many of the Elder Species possess the knowledge of which events are fixed and take great care to avoid meddling with them.
It is said that learning about one's own future in great detail can also become a fixed point, as the probability waveform collapses, and it becomes dangerous to interfere. Not even the Kaesar Machines, a ruthless race known for altering bits of history with impunity, dared to tamper with these fixed points, as they understood the dangers that came with it.
However, it is not always the case that meddling with fixed points leads to irreparable damage to the timeline. In some instances, time can knit itself back together again, provided a different cause, similar to the original, brings about the same consequence. But one change can unravel the fabric of time, and it takes a delicate balance to avoid disrupting the timeline completely.
Some notable fixed points in history include Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon, the destruction of Pompeii by Vesuvius, and the Gunpowder Plot. Even the works of renowned artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and Caravaggio are considered fixed points in time.
On the other hand, time in flux represents the opposite of fixed points. These are relatively insignificant events that can be altered with little to no consequence on a universal scale. While not as critical as fixed points, time in flux still holds the potential to cause a ripple effect, leading to unexpected outcomes.
