The Chronodoxum Machine

The Chronodoxum was allegedly created by Clockwork engineer Dr. Maurits Sink.

Though temporal distortion and 4D travel had been accepted for a long period, risks were still high, with issues such as "The Grandfather" paradox, and space-time sharing.

In an attempt to create a more stable device, capable of preventing such occurances as spacial or temporal collapse through accidental misuse of temporal shifting by amature or professional Chrononaughts, Dr. Sink apparently created a device capable of continued alternative time lines.

The effect of this was that regardless of actions that may result in a paradox (such as killing one's grandfather before the self was born), or removal of items from alternative time lines, or two items of identical mass sharing the same space in the same time would now theoretically be possible.

Experiments utilising The Chronodoxum (etymologically from "Time Paradox"), were reportedly with mixed results of success, due to psychological issues. Eventually met with great concerns, the device was dismantled. Stories vary between this being directly by Dr. Sink himself, a team of engineers seeking to protect the world/out of jealousy or by aristocratic order to protect their wealth from being diluted with alternative sources of "easy" revenue.

The parts for the device have been seperated and have been found across the world in private collections and museums.
