Hey I read this over the last week or so, and now i have a theory. Its probably incorrect but oh well.
So, meta-time travel seems to work similarly to regular time travel in a lot of ways. I can't think of a single example but this is just the impression i have after catching up. So, does that mean that, since a crack in regular time spreads both backwards and forwards, a crack in meta-time would also spread backwards and forwards in meta-time? With the brick, the moment it cracked spacetime was just when it looked like all the cracks had disappeared. So likewise, the origin point of meta-time being cracked would appear to have no cracks.
Like, for example, loop 5.
The map on this page https://www.all-night-laundry.com/post/1807 only shows loop 4 as its earliest, but it does look like the beginning of another expanding cone like loops 6 through 12 do. We still don't know what causes the loops to begin, but at this point I'm getting skeptical that each specific loop had an event that caused the next one to begin. I think its more likely that all the loops were caused by a single event. An event that happens in loop 5, and then propagated outwards through meta-time.
(Although this would kind of mean that meta-time doesnt really have a direction, which would be weird. Its already been established that time travel in one loop happens in every loop, and if each loop doesn't actually cause the next one, then it doesn't really make sense to say that a particular loop is "before" or "after" another one, only that they're adjacent, and all the Binas have just adopted this direction arbitrarily.)
