It was not a necessary fundamental aspect of the universe, but rather a meta-structure created and imposed on history by the [[Time Lord]]s. It could not exist until [[Rassilon]] built the [[Eye of Harmony]] and used it as what has been described as "the hitching post of chronology." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland]]'') This probably allowed Rassilon to choose what species developed, as he did when he imprisoned the [[Divergence]], a possible rival to the Time Lords. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'') While not a fundamental universal aspect, the Web maintained a balance which reflected the holistic nature of Time.

This balance could be upset, as the Web was not invulnerable; for example, the [[Sixth Doctor]] once explained that to destroy the [[planet]] [[Earth]] in [[1985]] would disrupt the Web of Time. Additionally, [[Lytton]] spoke of the destruction of [[Mondas]] in [[1986]] as "now" being a part of the Web, implying its destruction wasn't necessarily [[Fixed points in time|fixed]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'') As a part of the Web, Mondas had always been destroyed and always will be. For it to not happen would wreck the Web and cause disastrous repercussions in every corner of the universe. Billions would die, major civilisations would isntantly disappear, and even the Doctor wasn't certain the fabric of the universe could withstand such upheaval.
