The '''Blinovitch Limitation Effect''' was a natural function of the universe that described the effects of approaching and/or making physical or causal contact with a future or past version of yourself, an action that was also referenced as "crossing your own [[timeline]]." Several other concepts, such as [[temporal paradox]]es, were related to the Blinovitch Limitation Effect, and it was sometimes unclear which specific observed reactions were due to this effect. | The '''Blinovitch Limitation Effect''', also known as the '''Convocation Corollary for Intersecting Time Fields Under Vortex Space''', ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Galois Group (audio story)|The Galois Group]]'') was a natural function of the universe that described the effects of approaching and/or making physical or causal contact with a future or past version of yourself, an action that was also referenced as "crossing your [[personal timeline|own]] [[timeline]]."

When a person used time travel to attempt to change their own existing timeline, the deviation could create a [[time loop]], which was a type of [[temporal paradox|paradox]].

Through the projections of [[the Matrix]], the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]]-era [[Time Lord]]s saw that the [[Twelfth Doctor]], whilst attempting to [[Hybrid Incident|demonstrate]] [[mercy]] to a young [[Davros]], had shown some way of circumnavigating the Blinovitch Limitation Effect, allowing him to return to an exact space-time event multiple times and influencing the outcome of that event. Investigations were undertaken as to how the Doctor was able to achieve this, and discussions took place at [[High Council]] level to determine whether they constituted a breach of the [[First Law of Time]].

During a meeting of the [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor]]s, the two activated the effect as they argued, crossing fingers and creating a current of energy. This event also brought forth [[Reaper]]s. The three Doctors raced back to the TARDIS, where they discovered that the Reapers had already disconnected the interior from the exterior of the ship. They were able to activate the effect again; the shock of the effect reconnecting the TARDIS to some part of its interior.

[[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] once speculated that the [[Fifth Doctor]] was unaffected by the Limitation Effect when he met his previous incarnations in the [[Tower of Rassilon]] on [[Gallifrey]] due to them having different bodies.

A Time Lord device called the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter]] existed. It limited the effects of the Blinovitch Limitation Effect, allowing one to safely interact with one's past selves. The third incarnation of the [[renegade Time Lord]] [[Drax]] teamed up with his ten future incarnations and conned the [[Fourth Doctor]] into stealing the limiter, which was what allowed them to cooperate on this scheme in the first place.

When the [[First Doctor]] met the [[Twelfth Doctor]] in the South Pole in 1986 as both incarnations were resisting the need to regenerate, it caused time to freeze around them, but this temporal paradox was escalated by the [[Testimony Foundation]] attempting to return the displaced Captain [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart]] to the moment of his death in 1914. Later on, the two Doctors shook hands as they parted company, and while neither received a painful burst of electricity, [[regeneration energy]] glowed intensely from their hands.
