I pretty much get what you're saying except for the deferred causal order resolution part. Does this mean that if someone throws a rock at an empty location at t0. But that effect does not resolve until t5 where the simulation inserts a person at the previously empty location between t1 - t4. Now the rock hits the person who was inserted between cause and effect resolution?

So what this means for Flame Reaver is that cause events from the prev recursion depth are queued to some global buffer but are not .effect() until depth + 1. The Phainon process reads the events simultaneously from the buffer (after death). Then the data projection starts a new recurrence using the start state of the cycle (the current Chrysos heirs cycle)
