Did Jake know about the fall? How could he?

When he reentered Roland's world it allowed for him to have been at the way station and to have been killed by Roland. It is the moment of discovery. Before that it is Shroedinger's cat both alive and dead at the same time and then upon his reentry into roland's world it allows for him to have been where he had and hadn't before. Yes, he was at the way station, and went under the mountains; but he also didn't. The paradox is negated or resolved by him being pulled by Roland through the door.

thanks for saying what i meant in a coherent way, and +1 for using schroedinger's cat in your example

Thank you Jayson!

Edit: Oops! And I misspelled Schroedinger. Oh well, I'm gonna' write that one off to working all night.

So, I know this is off topic but was the cat dead or alive?

i always assumed it was a hypothetical and that no real kitties were harmed in the formulation of the theory. if he really did it, i have no idea. i do love joke's about changing an outcome through observation though

I'm pretty sure he didn't actually do it.
