Subject: "Irrational Reality" vs "Rational Reality" - Meaning for Season 4 of FRINGE

"Irrational Reality" vs "Rational Reality" - Meaning for Season 4 of FRINGE

I have come to view the first three seasons of FRINGE as fully occurring in the paradox which might be thought of as "irrational reality/time" which alludes to the idea of irrational numbers and the irrationality of mind/logic which it represents. Thus there must be a "rational reality/time" - a space-time which is outside of the paradox and thus totally not dependant upon the paradox for its history. And so:

1] History in this new timeline (signified by orange/amber credits) has changed. How so could not even be predicted even by the Obsevers. In this new history there can be no vestige of what was necessary to the paradox. The paradox is thus an "irrational reality/time" and what we see now in S4 is the "rational reality/time" of a lineal timeline (without the hiccups of the paradox).

2] Thus there can be only one machine, and someone (Bell?) built it but where? In the Bluverse or Redverse? The machine was thus never buried and the First People cannot have existed in "rational time" because the events of 2026 will not have happened; the First People can only be paradoxical - or of the "irrational reality/time."

3] As the machine must have been built in "rational time" then it was either keyed to someone else or keyed to no one in particular. My guess is that if Bell created the machine, Bell may have keyed it to himself or someone close to him. Perhaps that was Nina - though I doubt it for reasons below. Or that may have been a 'cortexiphan kid' that Bell specially groomed for the position. That is if the cortexiphan trials actually occurred in "rational time" and I have my doubts about that - or if they occurred they may have not yet been uncovered in "rational time" (look for that in a new S4 episode?). I have the feeling that whoever may have started the machine in "rational time" may have "irrationally" disappeared (yeah, strange isn't it). My point being that the paradox, all 250 million years of "irrational reality/time" - however many times it may have occurred, likely occurred within the "rational time" in which the machine was operating in "rational lineal time." Further we may never know the full history of that "irrational reality."

4] The Observers are not omniscent. They have the perception to make predictions that have a greater chance of occurring. But even they must work within that time-stream as they perceive it. Thus whatever they did or said in the paradox/"irrational reality/time" only applied to that time stream. Peter was only necessary and served a purpose in the "irrational time" of the paradox. Thus whether Walternate devised a cure or not in "rational time" was not important nor would be Walter's abduction of Peter from the Redverse. What evidently happened was simply that both Peters died young.

I'll stop for now.
