So it’s complicated, I know. It’s called a predestination paradox, a situation in which a person traveling back in time with the intention to change the outcome, becomes part of past events and may eventually cause the event they are trying to block from happening. Kinda like in Back to the Future when Marty travels back to 1955 and mentions that the waiter is gonna be mayor. Right then the waiter gets inspired and decides he’s gonna be mayor. But how did he become mayor before Marty traveled back? It’s a ‘temporal causality loop’ through which Event A in the past impacts Event B in the future. In turn, event B causes Event A to happen, with this circular event loop ensuring that the time traveller does not change history. There is no real origin. This paradox tries to show that events are always predestined to happen in a particular way, and whatever has occurred must occur.
