Okay, no one actually outright negated my theory. I think your just not understanding what I said. CR is reflective of their regeneration rate. Homura just has an insanely high regeneration rate. Which is why I linked CR to regeneration. I also classified regeneration as returning their bodies to their human self's standards. In short, I think your misunderstanding what it is they are regenerating. Lets start off by labeling Regeneration Rate (RR), Regenerarion of Damage Corruption(RDC), Continued Existance Corruption (CEC), Magic Use Corruption (MUC), Other Corruption Factors (OCF). Now lets consider these the factors for determining your Change in Corruption Points (CCP) over any given time period. So mathing this out we get CCP=(RDC+CEC+MUC+OCF)-RR. Homura just has such a crazy high RR that she is prone to gaining negative corruption. They all have CR, Homura just has one that works for her rather than against her.
This actually goes well with the new stuff you guys have revealed and Greif Seeds. Which unless I'm wrong are actually the Soul Gems of Giant Witches. As they can gain enough Corruption points to respawn as a Giant Witch... that means they could in theory gain enough Anticorruption Energy to respawn their Magical Girl self. Of course only Homura appeears to actually generate AE in the first place... at least of the test examples given. If we go back to what I said about MG and GW being the larval forms of QB's race... the real reason KQ ate those Greif Seeds is to fuse them with his own and gain a higher rate of useful CR. This adds the game mechanic that proccessing Corruption generates the EXP, Ability Points, or whatever it is that you use to increase stats and gain abilities. In short, the purpose of this coversion of speicies in the first place is to get young to farm power for the converter. If one manages to survive past infancy, good for them.
By leveling up I mean gaining new attacks and abilities. Even if its more FF2's system of use it and hope you make the percentage role to increase (and not randomly botch for a decrease) of some stat... or gain new abilities.

I don't think you guy are really thinking about what it means to have Homura only rewind herself from a story perspective. First, she can't be just dimension hopping or the TSAB agents will not be able to track her... negating the plot (or needlessly complicating it). She can't be only rewinding herself through time independant of anyother factors, negating Raven from being able to notice and back up even Zeke's notes (if not Zeke himself). That would involve rewinding the Omniverse... which negates the plot. So she has to have a limited AoE for the rewind. Which means keeping her at a universal (TSAB headquarters baffled by last weeks reports coming in as newish) or just the planet/solar system (TSAB agents, in orbit, get to dodge the effect and advance). This depends on what your having happen to those agents on the world during a reset.. The reason I suggested Zeke mentally looping is you can then actually have things move forward plot wise.
