the name is “Ontological Paradox” but it’s not really a logical contradiction at all. stable time loops are “paradox-lite”. time travel inherently violates the sequence of cause and effect, just as much a paradox as teaching yourself time travel, so if the latter blows up the universe, then the doctor isn’t a time traveller at all.

It’s an ontological paradox. She only has the information she needed to time travel (i.e., the existence and location of a spell for time travel) because her time-traveling self gave it to her.
