![]() ![]() Īnd yes, you pointing out the Schala pendant thing definitely helped. Sorry if it came off that way because I definitely didn't intend it. What other ingredient is that? Well dimensional travel certainly fits with observable evidence, that's for sure. So Occam's Razor also suggests that there is some other necessary ingredient since Schala's pendant alone does not fit with all observable evidence. and Serge and team had Schala's pendant all along but couldn't access the DBT. There is one problem though, and that is that Crono and co. I don't think a time manipulational subject is "intrinsically more complex" than an object, but I will give you that since Schala's pendant was present during all instances of travel to the DBT, Occam's Razor suggests that Schala's pendant (and thus Dreamstone) is important for travelling to the DBT. There may never have been a timeline where Zeal survived for all we know. Was Zeal ever truly able to immortally control the future? Remember, Zeal existed ultimately because of Lavos, and in the original timeline (ie: the first pass through events) Zeal could easily have been destroyed by Lavos just like in all subsequent timelines. It is in this sense that Occam's razor is usually understood. This is often paraphrased as " All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the right one," or alternately, "we should not assert that for which we do not have some proof." In other words, when multiple competing theories are equal in other respects, the principle recommends selecting the theory that introduces the fewest assumptions and postulates the fewest entities. The principle is often expressed in Latin as the lex parsimoniae ("law of parsimony" or "law of succinctness"): The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. Occam's razor (sometimes spelled Ockham's razor) is a principle attributed to the 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham. So, if the re-translation is that different, does anyone know how it is translated in the DS version of CT (is it the same as the SNES version, or was it re-worded)?Īlso, if it is now based on time period, how much time constitutes the "same" time period? Technically Chrono, Marle, and Lucca all went into time the first time at different periods.Quote from: Occam's Razor - Wikipedia Occam's razor While the looser wording of the newer translation was able to lead to different interpretations and was more flexible in this case, I wonder if there are other cases where it could work against existing theories? That is not really the point of this article though, so I will not get into it. You clarified how you interpreted the meaning of the newer translation to fit your theory, and I thank you for the speedy reply. Yeah, I know it has been over a year since the thread was posted on, but I dislike starting new threads for just one thought.
