Even though this list of rules conflates time travel with quantum superposition, I can’t fault it overly much given that the entire notion of time is poorly understood in quantum mechanics.
Do not worry if one of your quantum selves accidentally “kills” your grandfather in a lovers’ quarrel over your grandmother’s affections. Remember, when the wave function collapses, only one of your selves will be “real.” Simply reset your parricidal self and move on.
