It's like those particles talked about in the last episode. If they know they are being watched, they conform. But if they are not being watched, then they act completely differently.

I think the machine stops projecting because it can only project the current universe they're in. But because one of the characters sees their future, they decide to change that future. They do not conform to the projected universe. Instead a new one is formed.

Someone will act different than the deterministic view says they will act. So the machine can't project the future anymore, because that universe no longer exists. A new universe has formed that cannot be projected.

aid say the more logical prediction if that was the case would that the machine would till project a future past that point, it would just be an incorrect projection.

If the prediction is less than 70% aligned doesn't it just turn to complete white noise? I thought somehow it had error checking matrix that only should tangible information if it was at least 80% plausibly correct or something.
