A few issues I still don't understand regarding Bioshock Infinite's ending.
So I do understand the ending or at least I think I do, the problem i'm having is wrapping my head around is "Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt" being the recurring theme.
In the Universe we begin in the Booker we control has already given up Anna as a means to wipe away his gambling debt, we know that Comstock wanted Anna as he became infertile through all the universe-hopping and wanted an heir to Columbia, the Booker we control has no memory of giving Anna away either.
Anyway, why is "Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt" the recurring theme if the Booker you control has already given away his daughter to clear his debt. Also how did Booker ever get in debt with himself (Comstock)?
Oh and the lighthouse, how are both Booker and Comstock alive in the same universe when at the beginning there are no tears? I thought maybe the lighthouse acted as a gateway to the universe where he became Comstock but I thought about the original Bioshock and the lighthouse doesn't act as a gateway there, just as a bathysphere station.

And it has two meanings - Booker needed to deliver Anna to Comstock in order to have his debt cleared, but the Lutece's (are there two of them, or just one and the same?) use the same phrase to convince Booker into going to Columbia in order to find the girl. A different debt, of sorts. And I believe that the lighthouses are simply symbolism for the different worlds - oceans - universes- paths - that await. "The door itself makes no promises - it is only a door." Elizabeth always had the ability to manipulate time and space ever since she was caught in a tear (at the beginning/end, whichever you wish to call it) -- the monument (a-la Siphon) restricted her powers, until they destroyed it in the end and allowed her to tap into her full potential. Kind of a 'god' complex/device, but it can nevertheless be used to explain their sudden transition into the "true" universe, the universe in which any and all paths can, will, and have, been taken.
