Columbina’s birth
So in order for the whole time loop to work, Columbia has to be born in the first place so she can be reborn in the future, but how does she born and why does she born at the time of the catalysm?, I have my theory but I wanna know what others think on this? Or maybe it already mentioned and I am just stupid?

Time loops don't work. That's the whole schtick of time travel in stories. Unless each time leap creates a separate universe, it will create a logical paradox.
Time travel is integrated into stories to lead up to an emotional climax. They are not there to make sense.
We had this back with the Great Sakura, as it already existed despite the fact that Raiden had to plant it herself. Raiden was confused at its existence until that time loop was closed, then it all made sense. The same applies to Colombina: Because a time shift ever existed, it became written into canon the first time around. There was never going to be a time when it *didn't* happen.
Though, the interesting part of this is that this only seems to apply to events specifically destined to change VS events that are edited after the fact. If you edit Irminsul, things change, but there are signs left behind that there was once a different path. But a proper closed time loop never leaves any obvious evidence unless you are directly connected to it. Which I find rather interesting.
This also means that if Rerir ever comes back, he's going to be *much* older, as he's going back in time at a fixed rate as well until he finds a way out. I find myself fascinated as to if he's ever going to make a reappearance.
How could John Connor send his father back in time to 1984 if John Connor does not exist yet because the first pass through the timeline has not yet reached the point where John Connor was even conceived?
I suppose the issue is how important the plot hole is to the story as a whole.
For The Terminator movie, the time travel is really just a pretext to set up a movie that is focused on two people being chased by a killer robot. The movie would be the same if that robot were from outerspace, a secret military research center, a lost advanced civilization, etc.
