...Give me a moment, I'm going to try to sort the business of the oven out.
So for the very first Dave, prior to the creation of the stable time loop, the oven was left on up until the point when the Dave designated as F!Dave realized it had been left on.
F!Dave then set out to remedy that problem by traveling back in time to a point shortly after the oven was left on, confronting P!Dave and alerting him to the staples of basic fire safety.
This initial first encounter has now both created a stable time loop but also collapsed the entire universe that followed from the possibility of the oven staying on. That is to say, Alpha Dave has the capacity to..."prune" possible offshoots to preserve and DEFINE the alpha timeline, is that correct?
