Feedback Loop

A feedback loop is the term used to describe a paradox of two peoples of equal make and creation (essentially two of the same people existing independent of each other while being active at the same time). This is featured in BlazBlue: Continuum Error.
==Effects==
A feedback loop is, by essence, a temporal paradox only possible either via time travel or alterations to the timeline. The feedback loop occurs when a person existing in one timeline ends up existing in another timeline which has the exact same person. The person not part of this timeline will be referred to as TM1 while the person that is of this timeline will be referred to as TM2. TM2 is unaffected by the feedback loop (as he is where he should be). However, the same does not apply to TM1. TM1 is a foreign element to this timeline, and so will be affected by the feedback loop.
The feedback loop works to either integrate or erase TM1 from the timeline, so that a paradox isn't the immediate result of his existence there. This is done by integrating TM1 with TM2's existence. However, a result of this, and the reason why the feedback loop is named as such, is that TM1 ends up making a considerable contribution to a change in TM2's existence. TM1's existence is validated by TM1 being part of TM2's existence. This is somewhat like how Observation operates in the World of the Azure, but instead of an Observer needing to constantly acknowledge the existence of the individual, their existence is acknowledged simply by the events of their own counterpart's life and how they played a part in it.
==Information==
Ike Ceres is a victim of the feedback loop when he is accidentally sent into the King of Braves Timeline. He, because of it, needed to do something in his counterpart's life in order to exist. Thus, with the help of Unhuman Break and RezaRed, he caused the hierarchical city of Exisua, where his counterpart was growing up, to be destroyed in an event known as Second Impact. So, with this massive alteration to his counterpart's life, he could exist on his own.
The original Gale Wing XIV did not suffer from the feedback loop because of the Bracelet of Time, which kept him protected from such things.
