''didnt kamachi already used othinus as explanation? she stated that IB would let him survive even with the most smallest chance, this would be his "misfortune", that he could do it in their fight only showed that she was right, IB manipulates probability/the enmys mind/toumas mind in order to let him survive (that he conveniently survived the jump from the building while Misaka-Will showed up ets me think that it is probably propability manipulation''

IB doesn't do anything like that. I don't even remember Othinus ever saying anything to that degree. The only thing IB does is protect Kamijou from being affected by the shifting and fluctuating worlds (as in he doesn't shift and fluctuate with them as he is a reference point). IB itself had nothing to do with that 'negotiation' right up until he destroyed Gungnir.

As for the assumptions I'm talking about, they pertain to why Kamijou was able use his tactics in the first place. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about how he gathered the data or anything that isn't already explained in the novel.

Think carefully about what Kamijou did. In order for Kamijou to pull of what he did, what assumptions must we make about Kamijou that appear to be too convenient to be true?
