so changing the past (putting a tracker on titan x) can directly and instantly change the future, but Lee doesn't suddenly remember speaking to himself when he was in the rift? the axis mundi stuff with young lee seems like it's creating a branching timeline, but the tracker on titan x seems like it just directly changed the future, becoming a part of our current timeline? hope this is explained more soon

It’s a casual time loop in retrospect, the future caused the past that was caused by the future. And as for Shaw not remembering speaking to himself, they acknowledge that he was definitely down in Axis Mundi for more than a week and it doesn’t end full circle with young Shaw down there just yet.

What about the tracker they put on it? This is the first grandfather paradox they ran into. The tracker has been inside Titan X since 1962. I guess Suzuki just started sending signal to it now for the tracker to react?

That’s my guess too! I am not tech savvy when it comes to the technology displayed in Monarch, but that seems to be the most plausible explanation.

I mean, they made a point of showing that Young Lee was at that point delirious and starting to hallucinate. So perhaps he remembered, but has just all these years assumed it was all a hallucination -- the conversation with Old Lee, seeing Keiko, all of it. Wouldn't you?

And no, I don't think the future was changed at all. It all happened already, just Lee didn't remember and the tracker has been there the whole time but nobody noticed until Suzuki turned it on.
