...well, it's sort of obvious how those three issues fit together, isn't it?  This reality clearly possesses a power of internal division that lets it obtain answers and outcomes from sub-layers of reality; conceptually and perhaps literally, it's a complexity-theoretically more powerful computer than the physics of Thellim's home.  Some level of that reality contains either the original of Thellim's universe or an isomorphic copy of its physics, the same way that Isabella's universe contains all the sublayers that get precogged.  And even the top layer of Isabella's world is a sublayer of some other region of this hierarchically(?) divisible reality; and the layers above this one somehow put the lunar eclipses into place here, as an equilibrium of the other factors and forces and optimization pressures there.  And some rule of some layer above Earth and dath ilan in the hierarchy fired to copy Thellim from dath ilan into Earth...

Is any of this concentrating probability, though, or did she just come up with a hypothesis isomorphic to "Anything can happen?" and start coding out the anythings by hand instead of compressing them?  It sounds like mostly that, so far.  Still, when your previous hypothesis was Stupid in the sense of definitely prohibiting materializing from dath ilan into Earth, there is something to be said for jumping to a hypothesis of greater ignorance which allows more things to happen.  And there is also something to be said for allowing that hypothesis of ignorance to be specific and have plausible-sounding specific structure inside it, just in case it does start concentrating probability or suggesting an agenda of investigation.  It could be, for example, that 'Wikipedia' will have something to say about the precog sub-layers of reality, and that some experimentally-confirmed theory will look like definite confirmation that there could be a copy or original of dath ilan inside something similar.
