Sacrificing [[Andrew Edwardson]], who lived a quiet life on his own, would not disrupt causality, while causing the death of [[the Doctor]] in their [[fifth incarnation]] had disastrous consequences, condemning all the worlds the Doctor was due to save, and creating a major [[temporal paradox|paradox]].

The Spiral Politic did not encompass the [[N-Space|entire universe]]. Like with any [[noosphere]], the [[Great Houses]] had great difficulty penetrating or even observing some areas around or beyond the Spiral Politic's edges, collectively known as the [[frontier in time]].
