Bootstrap Zero Point: Exploring Timeline Self-Entanglement Theory

An extension of the bootstrap paradox from physics into a working theory of breakthroughs, discoveries, and creative emergence. This framework proposes that what we call creation or discovery may involve self-entanglement - consciousness encountering itself across parallel timelines rather than generating something from nothing. It examines historical cases of simultaneous discovery (Darwin and Wallace, Gray and Bell) and maps the implications for understanding how new ideas, healing modalities, and original work appear to emerge.
