Plausibility Collapse

Question: If time isn't sequential, then why does it matter when we do things to fix time?

Answer: Because our brains aren't powerful enough to work with time in the non-sequential way. We have to treat time as sequential because of our own limitations.

Question: If changing the timeline just swaps things from one place to another, then why not let that happen? Doesn't it keep things even-steven anyway?

Answer: No. Swapping a piece of one timeline for another can cause plausibility collapse—what happens when the timeline isn't well enough matched, and events are no longer plausible in that temporal proximity. These implausibilities can cause events or entire timelines to disappear, resulting in the decay of the universe.
