Ok, when I first read this thread, I was confused, as well. I mean, it's a valid question, right? But the answer I came up with seems rather obvious and yet satisfying at the same time. I think most of you are looking for a complicated answer to what seems to be a complex question. We discover at the end of the game that the Siphon was used to extract and capture Elizabeth's powers, right? Her ability to interfere with reality is stored inside the Siphon, correct?

Is it too farfetched to assume that this then makes the Siphon immune to reality manipulation? Can we not safely assume that the Siphon, as well as the entire tower, cannot be effected by shifting realities due to the fact that Elizabeth is using what limited powers she has during the course of the game? Whereas, the majority of her powers are still in the Siphon, preventing it (and the tower itself) from being altered with the rest of reality.
