Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (TIQM)
A formulation where quantum events involve 'offer waves' moving forward in time and 'confirmation waves' moving backward, creating a transaction that determines physical reality.

Causality-Consistent Teleportation
Teleportation is possible via non-linear quantum mechanics, but only if it does not involve backward time travel that violates causality. The universe allows translocation as long as the timeline remains self-consistent.
Implicate order
David Bohm's theory of an enfolded order underlying all manifest reality
The Universe as a 'Cheating' Consistency Enforcer
The universe actively eliminates impossible timelines (like the Bilking paradox) rather than preventing the attempt, effectively 'cheating' to ensure only consistent histories exist.
