== Loops ==
Loop instability is an integer, initially 0 at the beginning of a loop.
At the end of each phase (immediately before the new phase begins), the following occur in order:

* Loop Instability is incremented by 1.
* If Loop Instability is greater than the temporal integrity, the following occur in order:
** Time collapses, and the current loop is considered to end. Effects occurring at the end of a loop by other rules occur. These effects occur simultaneously, unless specified otherwise.
** All items that are not defined as persistent by the rules are removed from inventories.
** Temporal integrity is decremented by 1.
** Loop Instability is set to 0.

When a new phase begins while no loop is ongoing, a new loop is considered to begin, and effects defined by the rules as occurring at the beginning of a loop occur. These effects occur simultaneously, unless specified otherwise
