Domain-specific¶
- Ontological Paradox
- In the physics of closed timelike curves, which Gödel's rotating-universe solution and Thorne's traversable-wormhole geometries permit in principle, Novikov self-consistency is the constraint that prevents the logical contradiction of the grandfather paradox (where the loop is self-undermining): a bootstrap loop is self-consistent (nothing prevents the loop from closing) but leaves the thermodynamic cost of the contained information unaccounted for.
This sourceThe paper proposing a principle of self-consistency - local solutions must extend to global ones - for fields in spacetimes containing closed timelike curves. The paper stating the self-consistency condition that a local solution extend to a global one, and exhibiting unique self-consistent motions and probabilities on a wormhole spacetime with closed timelike curves.

“The laws of physics might permit the existence, in the real Universe, of closed timelike curves (CTC's).”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
