If person A won, then things will play out accordingly and vis versa. Imagine a hallway so long that it takes 10 minutes to get from one side to the other. Imagine Forward Person A enters from one side at 8:00 PM. Imagine Inverted Person B enters from the other side at 8:10 PM. . The logical part of your brain would tell you that they meet in the middle, at 8:05 PM. Right? But that doesn't necessarily work, at the very least it isn't set in stone because you could make just as logical an argument that they would be occupying the same part of the hallways at any particular time during those 10 minutes. I'm not sure how you would determine where/when they encounter each other, but it could be at any point down the hallways. If Person B did not exist then Person A would have reached the other end of the hallway at 8:10 and been there when person B was coming through. The same thing is true in reverse. If Person A was not in the hallway yet then person B makes it all the way to the other end at 8:00 before person A steps into the hallway. So they could logically encounter each other and would theoretically be at the same part of the hallway at each conceivable interval of time. So do you think they fight in the middle? Or at one end or the other? Who's reality has priority over the others? Does your answer change if Person A and B are the same person? It makes me believe the reality they are experiencing has predetermined outcomes and they are just playing their part and going through the motions that invariably must have occurred to fulfil those outcomes. --- ...
