The other night I was re-watching one of my favorite and most incredibly intriguing episodes, The Constant. The part of this episode that I decided to pay the most attention to is the part at the end where Faraday is looking through his notebook. Yes, the "Desmond is my Constant" page was the main one they were trying to highlight but, the page that sums up whats going on now was a few pages before that. . .

This page looks like a compiled timeline with multiple events (the scribbled circles) and multiple outcomes. The line through the middle labeled "Real Time" looks to be an unaltered timeline from the beginning event in the top left to "Event A" in the bottom right. The other circles represent other major events such as the purge, the Ocianic 6 landing on the island, and the Incident.
For those Whatever happened, happened supporters (myself included) the timelines all seem to end up going to either "Event A" in the bottom right, "Event C" in the bottom left, of "Event B" in the bottom middle-ish. This shows that no matter what events have happened, the same events will still happen.
I believe Widmore and Eloise Hawking are trying to make certain events happen to influence the eventual outcome, Events A-C. One of these events is their favorable outcome in the coming war on the island.
What we have been seeing this season are separate timelines. We have the 1977 crew in possibly the timeline labeled "Imaginary Space" leading to "Event B" which could very likely be the Incident that we have been waiting on for so long.
Desmond, could very well be the key to all of this. The rules don't apply to him. He could be the one that can see, or even exist in every timeline simultaneously.
This theory is very choppy and not too well thought out, but either way I think this page in Faraday's notebook is very key into what is going on in the show now and in the coming season.
