BOC lyricist Michael Moorcock uses the concept of the 'Morphail Effect' in
his excellent book "Dancers at the end of time". The hero, Jherek
Carnelian, can only go back in time if he doesn't make any changes to
history, otherwise the Morphail Effect bumps him straight back, or out of
time to somewhere else.
