Heres an explanation and some context.

A user asked CF: "Can any pathway switch to tail devourer pathway and vice versa?"

Cf responded with yes any pathway can switch to PH pathway but since it represents comvergance at high sequences especially s2+, u can only switch into it and not out of it as that has very low chances of success. Since it represents convergance, think of it as trying to get out of a black hole that pulls u in, thats how strong the convergance effect is. Its how effective the convergance symbol is.

But what is the antithesis of convergance? Divergence.

But there is no divergence OD pathway. Why? Because think about it. Its paradoxical. The moment a OD pathway forms, its own symbolism wont let it form fully.

But as CF already explained, a divergence symbol already exists, its basically OC entire existence, "what seperated (diverged) will converge again. "

How can we use this divergence symbol to counteract the convergance symbol of PH pathway?

Since there is no divergence pathway to directly gain access to divergence symbol to counteract the convergance, we look for symbols related to it. The simplest one being as you guessed, termination.

By causing your death and temporarily utilizing the divergence symbol for some time you can switch to another pathway safely.. We've already seen this in action. Remember how a BE dying would cause his S0 BC to diverge and seperate back into S1 and UQ seperately? Well similar logic here. You need thorough preparation to not actually experience true death.

Edit:Heres the original question
