Temporal Excursions - The Fisher Method
This method will result in the formation of an artificial subcelestial temporal fissure and all necessary precautions should be taken in the event of a singularity recession. The results of ASTF collapse will not only cause delays in the participant’s project — but it is also highly likely that the participant will suffer extreme temporal dislocation, which in rare cases can be permanent.
In order to successfully implement the Fisher Method, a physical non-linear partition must be created. This is most commonly done by acquiring authentic paraphernalia and arranging them according to a photographed or videotaped reference. The articles must be as genuine as possible, therefore most participants choose to recreate a scene (or partial scene) from their personal life, as the likelihood of acquiring the necessary objects increases. Recreations or reproductions are ineffective, though authentic objects can have an origin date margin of error, so long as this does not exceed ten per cent.
As has been referenced elsewhere, the partition must be based upon a reference at least thirty years’ old. That is, a scene, event or setting should come from adolescence or even earlier. It has also been noted that the efficacy of partitions based upon references later than 2005 is substandard.
The Fisher Method is not entirely dependent on physical setting. In order for successful fissure creation, an emotional sense of déjà vu must be attained. The methodology will be idiosyncratic and cannot readily be instructed, much less analysed.
Success rates vary, but this method is generally thought to be one of the most difficult to implement. By contrast, there are several reports of unintentional Fisher Method ASTF creation, though these fissures are rarely used deliberately owing to the inexperience of the participants.
Despite its obvious drawbacks, research suggests that if the singularity is attained, the Fisher Method only takes up to 3 years to work and that the results are cumulative. The ASTF can be traversed in the usual manner and the feedback incursion rate is minimal.
Temporal Excursions - The Mineral Transference Method
As with NOSTFs, artificial modes of excursion can utilise the geology of a surrounding area. The Mineral Transference Method is relatively simple, though successful implementation will take around twenty years before the fissure becomes fully active.
Three samples from local freshwater and saltwater must be taken daily and combined with either a sedimentary or igneous solid outcropping. During each combination, a layer of the outcropping must be partially removed (generally only a few square millimetres is required).
Though this method is incredibly straightforward, its main disadvantage is the length of time required. However, if patient, the participant will eventually create a geological cavity, which will in turn generate the required temporal fissure. For this reason, it is necessary that the participant have permanent access to the location for the duration of the method.
Upon singularity attainment, an equal Temporal Incursion is almost certain and invariably results in the materialisation of a duplicate counterpart.
Counterparts are known to be highly unstable, therefore the Mineral Transference Method is not recommended. Due to the length required to produce a fissure, only two known attempts are currently on record. It is worth noting that in each case the duplicate simultaneously used the Quantum Tunnelling Method as a catalyst. In both cases, the status of the counterpart remains unknown.
Temporal Excursions - The Quantum Tunnelling Method
Under normal conditions, electromagnetic repulsion prevents this method from realistically being used by the Anthropocene. However, the fact remains that the probability of passing through a suitable medium and into a subcelestial temporal fissure is technically non-zero.
The potential success rate of using a Quantum Tunnelling Method can be modelled mathematically, though the probability of every subatomic component belonging to a macrocosmic participant moving in conjunction with those of the barrier are infinitesimally small. In principle, given sufficient time, an object or participant can undergo spontaneous temporal fissuring (see Boltzmann Brain).
This method is dependent on the manipulation of emergent collective phenomena observed in quantum many-body systems. Currently, it is unknown if any such method exists (or will exist) for anthropogenic participants, however there exist non-anthropocene participants (such as counterparts in their native location) which can generate, or cause themselves to undergo, infinite fluctuations in a short space of time. Whether by alternative extra-celestial physics or highly developed cognitive abilities, these participants are able to isolate the infinitesimal chance of successful quantum tunnelling and utilise it in a practical sense.
It remains to be seen whether the phenomena generated by non-anthropocene participants can ever be predictably utilised and managed by Anthropocene participants.
Currently only one instance is on record of a fissure created through successful anthropogenic Quantum Tunnelling(see The Athelstan Incident), though this was directly related to an adjacent temporal incursion and the Anthropocene participant was primarily using The Mineral Transference Method.
