The Likelihood of Cosmic Reprieve

The question of linear straightforwardness or some kind of curved return has been partly solved in the acknowledged elastic nature of universe/multiverse and return elasticity supporting a closed circular model. The idea that time as created codified and petrified could be adjusted to suit such a model accepts a common idea of time as traveling A to B instead of the more like A to A, making the question one not of reprieval but retrieval.
