Oh, silly people worrying about fixing things.
We're only here to break one thing, and everything else is optional.

Both Euroguca and Orikilly-guca were predicted by Oriko. I doubt she wouldn't have mentioned it if they were the same.

If we can assuage our fears, breaking will be easier.

I'd say this is a pretty safe bet as there's no reason why the profits the Incubators reap wouldn't be put back into the universe-wide system as they're gained, and since the Incubators are so confident in their system saving the universe, I'd be willing to bet that removing them would cut our time down be a whole lot.

Counter-argument: A Madoka situation is fundamentally unique in any given Universe, as any lead-up to such a thing has Four outcomes: A) The cause witches or dies out long before the Madoka-counterpart reaches a noteworthy potential, B) The planet she exists on fucking dies as a result of the Madoka-potential's own Witch, causing the Looper to reset, C) B happens but the Looper dies, or D) the universe is rewritten.
A and B can be discarded, C is unlikely because any Meguca capable of getting as far as Homura did is statistically unlikely to fall before D, and D just means that every Madoka-tier Potential is the first one because of causality getting fucked in the ass.
Madoka is unique because nothing else is really ontologically possible.

On the other hand, the same argument means once a looping starts, Madoka-level potential or a dead looper are the 2 only possible outcomes.

What if looper wins, and stops looping?

Then they probably would have done it before their focus got hyped up on potential enough to create galaxies.

Or the Looper succeeds. but Dead/Witched/Successful Looper outcomes can all be summarized as "Looper's quest ends and the Looper's Object of Interest becomes irrelevant."

Not exactly. Thhe looper's object of interest is as relevant as the amount of looping involved until the last loop.
Funnily, for a person without knowledge of the loops, causality would make them think that the "relevancy"of the object of interest is the source of the looping powers, and not the other way around.

The two stages of Grief:
1) Denial
2) Grief clones
On a sidenote, I have a vague urge to find a unit for Grief, or a comparison to existing units. Like, how much grief do you need to create a Carnot Cycle.

....Nooooooo. If the Looper's quest ends without a Causality Rewrite event, it means the Object of Interest never got to that power scale, which means they're irrelevant to the original point that started this tangent of discussion.

Unless the looping isn't anchored to a person, in which case there would be no potential buildup at all.

What if all the potential ends up anchored to an inanimate object, like a statue?
KB spends the next few years trying to work out a way to make a shaped piece of marble accept a Contract.

A shaped piece of marble whose logic and motivations are easier to understand than humans'. I'm sure he'd have it witching in no time.

Simple, get a gullible girl to wish for the statue to be able to talk or something.

Test 1: Put a Witch's Hat on statue.
Test 1 failed.
Super-gullible-girl Wishes for the statue to 'be able to talk or something'.
Statue can now dance.
KB spends next few years trying to translate the Contract into interpretative dance.

I wonder...do people gain Potential based on property? I mean, the owner of the statue woild have direct influence over it, so they could potentially inherit it's potential...
If so, he'd just need to give/sell it to a girl before contracting her.

Probably not. Atleast, not JUST Property. Potential is based on the people you're effecting, so if you're disgustingly rich, you would probably have a lot of Potential due to having greater opportunities to shape other people's futures.
Something like a statue would have no Potential, because it's not a Moral Actor, and thus no karma.
