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''' 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]]."

The effect was named after [[Aaron Blinovitch]] who, in [[1928]], formulated the Blinovitch theory in the reading room of the [[British Museum]].

[[Romana II]] was particularly concerned about the potential effects of physically touching another incarnation of herself, and as such declined her future self [[Trey]]'s requests for a hug when the two first met on [[Gallifrey]], and later she refused to allow Trey to help her seal off the [[Eye of Harmony]] for similar reasons.

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. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]''. | |||

The Doctor physically interacted with different [[regeneration|incarnations]] of himself or with another version of the same incarnation (such as shaking hands) without the proximity or interaction triggering a Limitation Field or energy discharge. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]'', ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors]]'', ''[[Time Crash (TV story)|Time Crash]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'', and [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Collector (DWM comic story)|The Collector]]'') At one time, the Eleventh Doctor was in an alternate [[universe]] that was suffering [[total event collapse]] as a consequence of the explosion of the TARDIS. He touched and was touched by a future version of himself. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') | |||
However, one source suggested that Time Lords touching ''would'' trigger the effect, as the [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor]]s triggered the effect while arguing. As their pointer fingers crossed, a huge strike of electricity formed and bolted between them. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'') | |||
[[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.

During an anomaly intentionally created by the [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] to annoy [[Clara Oswald]], two versions of a time-looped Clara stated they were forced to share a bed together. Again, no negative effects were indicated. During the same incident, two versions of Clara brush past each other.
