Confused! Please Help


I'm almost 40 minutes into the movie. I never post before I finish a movie but I am so confused about one thing. I had to pause it to ask this question. I don't understand how Jasper putting the paper with the racing information in the window ends up showing what dog wins the next day. Wouldn't the picture the camera takes just show the same information already written on it? I don't understand how the picture that's taken showing the future would change the information already written on the paper. I don't know if that's a dumb question or if this question even make sense but I'd really like to understand. If you can, please help me! Thank you!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but the information written on the paper doesn't change. They see the photo from the future with the racing results, and afterwards they just "recreate" the photo so it's sent one day to the past. It's a causal loop.
