Describe the bizarre sequence of events at ${point} where every action ${traveler} takes, no matter how clever, inevitably leads to the original sequence of events being preserved, forcing ${traveler} to concede to fate.`, "Multiverse Split": `The moment ${traveler} successfully achieves ${goal}, reality fractures. ${traveler} is stranded in the new timeline where the paradox never happened, but now they must deal with the original timeline's consequences bleeding into their new reality.`, "Temporal Guardians": `Just as ${traveler} raises their hand to intervene at ${point}, a Temporal Guardian materializes, freezing the scene. ${traveler} is now put on trial in a hyper-dimensional court for violating the fundamental law of causality, facing the penalty of non-existence.`, "Temporal Inertia": `The past is difficult to change. When ${traveler} attempts ${goal}, they find the key figures possess an uncanny temporal immunity. Describe how the world at ${point} feels thick, heavy, and reluctant to accept the modification, making the task an agonizing, slow-motion physical struggle.`, "Quantum Entanglement Break": `The act of ${traveler} intervening at ${point} causes their present-day existence to flicker. The paradox is resolved by the quantum state of ${traveler}'s past self becoming so unstable that ${traveler} must return and stabilize their own history—not by changing it, but by reinforcing the events they tried to prevent.`, }, "Bootstrap Paradox": { "Self-Consistency (Novikov)": `The secret plans ${traveler} brought back to enable ${goal} are realized to have been transcribed from the very plans they were given in the future. The information has no origin. The pressure of this realization causes ${traveler} to undergo a philosophical crisis: are they an actor or merely a conduit of destiny?`, "Multiverse Split": `The information ${traveler} brings back is only needed because they created a branching timeline that lacked it. ${traveler} realizes their act of intervention wasn't solving the original paradox but creating a new one in a desperate bid for existence in the new reality.`, "Temporal Guardians": `The Temporal Guardians arrive, not to stop the time travel, but to retrieve the paradoxical object/information that enabled ${goal}. They inform ${traveler} that such objects are temporal anomalies and must be quarantined in a nexus outside of time to preserve the system's entropy.`, "Temporal Inertia": `The information ${traveler} used for ${goal} appears to be correct but is subtly flawed—a flaw necessary for the timeline to continue. The key is in the error, not the fact. Write the moment ${traveler} finds the minuscule, critical error that was necessary for their entire timeline to exist.`, "Quantum Entanglement Break": `The infinite loop of the bootstrap paradox creates a point of temporal singularity at ${point}. To stop the singularity from consuming the timeline, ${traveler} must destroy the anomalous object, accepting that the knowledge used for ${goal} will be permanently lost to all future versions of reality.`, }, // Fallback for other types "_default": `The paradox of ${paradoxType} is now active due to ${traveler}'s actions at ${point}. The only way to resolve it under the ${resolutionKey} principle is for ${traveler} to perform a final, impossible act. Write the scene where ${traveler} accepts the necessary sacrifice to mend (or split) the flow of time.` }; return (hooks[paradoxType] && hooks[paradoxType][resolutionKey]) ? hooks[paradoxType][resolutionKey] : hooks["_default"]; } // --- Utility: HTML Escape --- function escapeHtml(text) { if (!text) return ''; return text.replace(/[&<>"']/g, function(m) { switch (m) { case '&': return '&'; case '<': return '<'; case '>': return '>'; case '"': return '"'; case "'": return '''; default: return m; } }); } // --- PDF Download --- window.ttprDownloadPDF = function() { const element = document.getElementById('ttpr-print-area'); const title = document.getElementById('ttpr-title').value || "Paradox_Scenario"; document.body.classList.add('ttpr-generating-pdf'); const opt = { margin: [0.5, 0.5], filename: `${title.replace(/\s+/g, '_')}_Outline.pdf`, image: { type: 'jpeg', quality: 0.98 }, html2canvas: { scale: 2, useCORS: true }, jsPDF: { unit: 'in', format: 'letter', orientation: 'portrait' } }; html2pdf().set(opt).from(element).save().then(() => { document.body.classList.remove('ttpr-generating-pdf'); }); };
