@Two-of-Six, well it's similar to path to victory that it gets give you the answers to a outcome but before questions even take place that how fast it is, CTCs Device work under the presupposition that "basic Xeelee verse time travel is acasual", which means killing a person in the past doesn't delete him from the present, he just continues to exist in the present, causality doesn't exist, due to configuration space and all that. CTC processors work on this principle, there is no temporal paradox, the information appears out of nothing from a future that never was. To sum it up it like mixing coil timeline splitting power, contessa PTV and phir se time transport in one device that can be linked inside a brain or a machine.
