Talk:Ectobiology

Wait a minute - when John created the paradox clones, he mixed the genetic material of the post-scratch players to create the pre-scratch players. When he sent them back in time to become themselves, they were sent on meteors and traveled through the portals to their respective times. It was clarified by Rose that, during a Scratch, Skaia merely uses the energy of the Beat Mesa to rearrange the locations of the players as they travel back in time; therefore, they're still the exact same set of people in the post- and pre-scratch universes.

Even before Rose's explanation, it was still hinted at by Doc Scratch when he was talking about the pre-scratch trolls causing their Scratch. The ancestors realized that their session was not the one in which they were created; hence, it was destiny for them to cause the Scratch. Karkat would then create all the players for both troll sessions in his session.

The post-scratch paradox clone chart provided in this article is innaccurate because he says that, just because the pre-scratch players appeared before the post-scratch players, they are the parents. This is wrong because nothing has changed, ectobiologically speaking. There will be no ectobiologist in the post-scratch session because there is no need for one; everything has already been done for them.

I would also like to remove the "grandmother" relating post-scratch Dad and Jane. It doesn't make any sense, because, again, Jane cannot be related by means of "normal" biology to anyone unless she has a child, and cannot be related "ectobiologically" to anyone who wasn't an Sburb player at one time because she wasn't in the pre-scratch session and there will be no ectobiology in the post-scratch session.

So, I'm requesting permission to fix the image to prevent any confusion. Thank you for reading.
