Rather than being a necessary fundamental aspect of the universe, it was a meta-structure created and imposed on [[history]] by the [[Time Lords]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland (audio story)|Neverland]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') during the [[anchoring of the thread]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') in which [[Rassilon]] used the [[Eye of Harmony]] as "the hitching post of chronology". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland (audio story)|Neverland]]'') Before this, the universe had no [[history]] or defined set of physical laws. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'')

The Web could become unbalanced by the changing of events that had significant effects. For instance, the [[Sixth Doctor]] once explained that the Web of Time would be disrupted if [[Earth]] were destroyed in [[1985]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') as Earth was a [[nexus world]] linked to the destinies of many major intergalactic powers. The saving of the ''[[Titanic]]'' would have similarly perturbed the Web by condemning all the later ships that were saved by round-the-clock [[radio]] surveillance, [[lifeboat]] capacities, or the [[International Ice Patrol]], all of which were developed due to the ''Titanic''{{'}}s sinking. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Left-Handed Hummingbird]]'')
