So you've developed some manner of technology to pierce through to a realm where time is malleable and multidirectional, then--either able to be controlled and directed in some manner, or at least harnessed and navigated, with some degree of reliability if not complete accuracy and safety. Either your ship or the metaphysical forces of that realm can be ascribed some manner of sentience and agency, if you assume you were brought here for a reason, or you're anthropomorphizing and giving meaning to pure random chance. Clearly it's not purely metaphysical manipulation, if you need a ship in the first place.....
