The knot is not time.
It is the structure built when time is broken.
The knot is the self-sustaining system that traps both of the split worlds in endless repetition.
What the Knot Is
The knot is the closed network of cause and effect created when the Origin World splits.
Every event causes another event that loops back and causes the first one.
There is no beginning.
There is no end.
The knot exists only to preserve itself.
Why the Knot Cannot Be Broken From Inside
Every attempt to change the cycle becomes part of the cycle.
The knot absorbs all interference.
That is why Adam fails.
That is why Eva succeeds in preserving it.
The system has no internal exit.
How the Knot Controls Everyone
Every character’s life, choice, and tragedy are arranged to maintain the knot’s structure.
People believe they are acting freely, but the knot has already positioned them where they must be.
They are not choosing the path.
They are fulfilling it.
Why the Knot Is Unnatural
The knot does not belong to the universe.
It is a scar.
The universe maintains it only because the split forces it to.
How the Knot Is Finally Destroyed
The knot collapses when the Origin World is repaired.
Without the split, the structure has nothing to support it.
It unravels completely.
