[This is more a joke, but maybe it sparks some inspiration.]
There are two leading interpretation models for time travelling and its effects on the universe.
- Everett's Many-World Interpretation:
This interpretation mainly describes that time travelling and its subsequent changes create a new world/timeline. Just like the plot from Steins;Gate, since you don't change the same timeline, but create new ones/switch to a different world line - Copenhagen's interpretation
This interpretation, I think, is the one your language follows, as it does persistent changes to a single, the current, timeline.
This interpretation allows for all the well-known paradoxes, like the bootstrap and grandfather paradox, as they're based on the assumption that a time traveler can change their own timeline, since there is only one.
It would be cool if you could switch between those two and effectively change the execution mode of the program. I have no idea how that would look, and if it would make sense (as much sense as this hobby project has to make).
