1. That is only due to special relativity and the dimensionality of our universe. The faster the tachyon the greater the delocalization that is the greater its speed the more its energy is stretched throughout all the dimensions until it is everywhere, and everywhen. Since the universe evolves or devolves (your choice) towards lower energy the speed of tachyons approaches infinity leading to your point 3

2. All things in this universe have masses in complex numbers because mass is an artifact of inertia, same for time. Mass does not and cannot exist at complete rest same with the illusion of time.

3. Since the speed of the tachyon approaches infinity, the energy decays to zero under normal circumstances, meaning they do exist, but for all intents and purposes, they do not interact with anything (colloquially dark matter or energy). That said their energy does not completely decay under certain circumstances, for example, the event horizon of black holes, the big bang, the big crunch (if it happens), Planck temperature

Your final point holds true under the laws and logic of our universe but is an omnipotent being constrained by such things I'm not a physicist, so my understanding of tachyons is limited.

1. Sure. I don't see that this breaks my analogy.

2. "At rest" is an approximation, is it not? It's not that the particle isn't moving, but rather it's moving as little as possible.

3. The event horizon is the point where escape velocity equals the speed of light; by analogy, Alice can interact with Bob even though we can't (of course she can, she's omnipotent).

Alice isn't constrained by logic or illogic; she's the firmament that separates them and the gatekeeper of our world. She could let Bob inside, but that would violate her grand design.

On the other hand...

A simpler and cleaner way to resolve OP's paradox is with a causal loop. Alice creates a being more powerful than herself, and its name is Alice. And that's how Alice came into being in the first place.
