There seems to be nothing stopping yF from meeting yP at a date when yF has no memories of ever meeting a defferent version of himself. For example if yF appears in front of a building that he remembers looking at in the past at the exact moment yP is looking at the building.

It's just that your causal influences would all happen the way that they always happened, and so there would be no way that could make things happen in a <i>different</i> way from what you remembered... including potentially your very own actions as a time traveler, which does make it seem that time travel has some potentially striking consequences for the free will of time travelers.

Also, I just thought of an awesome concept: the philosophical-zombie-zombie. He makes a completely convincing impression of desiring to eat your brains, even though he does not truly feel desire.
