The effect when crossing one's own timeline and interacting with a past self (or future self depending on perspective) is energy released by the shorting out of the [[time differential]] between the two iterations. The energy causes memories to be transferred from the past self to the future self. It also causes the person to suffer [[amnesia]] until he completes the interaction from the other side. ([[DW]]: ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'') This aspect of the effect, however, does not appear to come into effect when different [[regeneration|incarnations]] of a single [[Time Lord]], such as [[the Doctor]], interact with each other ([[DW]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]'', ''[[The Five Doctors]]'', et al.), or when different versions of the same incarnation interact.

The energy released from contact between two versions of a person is usually enough to overload any surrounding technology. Just by being in the same room, the two versions create a Blinovitch Limitation field, a crackling blue energy resembling lightning.
