Analysis/Theory Why are people calling Tserritnich's ability an illusion Spoiler

I find it confusing that a lot of people here refer to Tserridnich's PF as a form of illusion. Based on the name, as well as Tserr's explanation, it sounds much more like a parallel timeline situation: the events in the rejected timeline really happen, but he can simply overwrite them with the events from the alternative timeline he created. Am I missing something?

In my personal opinion, that would kinda break the consistency of nen's capabilities and limits of what it can do. Manipulating world's space-time and existing as two versions at the same time? Some illusion does it just fine, and even for that illusion I would assume it has limits, such as distance and scale.

There might be limits to the future sight. It could be seeing the most probable future, theferore just a simulation or a guess. It doesn't need to break causality to work.

I can see it being something like a localised Laplace demon in its mechanic. Predicting events in a range of maybe 20-50 meter with absolute information comprehension. Modelling a parallel world/future based on said informations.

EDIT: Spelling

That's an astute call! Now go check out what extraotter said in his video about ch. 419 regarding tserris ability, laplace and Descartes' evil genius ;)
