Dimensional feedback

Dimensional feedback is an energy phenomenon which can affect objects that travel outside of a normal timestream or dimensional space. This effect can interfere with the proper navigation of certain types of time travel technology.

's TARDIS was affected by a dimensional feedback that caused it to be set off course from an intended destination in 1940s San Francisco.
