Ok here goes, the stranger states that she has done this whole set events over and over again so that means the traveler and Rasputin have done the same thing over and over. The stranger is the only one that we know for sure that has prior knowledge of past times going through this ordeal but why would a powerful entity not know the same ie the traveler. Well why wouldn't an ai that has the power to hack an command said entity wouldn't be able to do the same so if that is possible it makes sense that the ai would know what would be happening and be able to more accurately take control of the situation and begin to correct the problems just a thought to think about and expand if needed thanks
