OK im about to answer all your plot holes so bear with me none of these are actually plot holes and i will explain them now.
1. the loop was NOT created by the lucetes its created by booker himself at the time of his baptism after the battle of wounded knee. booker was going to be baptized but then decides not to be therefore in the multiverse there is a universe made where he does get baptized and in bioshock land that is where he renames himself Z comstock and becomes evil... also in that universe the lucetes make the space time ripping machine and by being near it comstock is made sterile and since he cant have kids goes to bookers universe ( the one with no baptism and booker is not evil) and essentially forces booker to give up anna aka elizabeth the child comstock could never have with his wife because of gambling debts or whatever. there is NO way to stop comstock from getting her because even if booker chooses not to give her up comstock will just steal her anyway, this also explains all the versions of her even tho there are only like 5 that drown booker this is symbolizing all the different ways elizabeth looks after being stolen or given up or however comstock has procured her in all the other realities... also reinforced by elizabeth in the crib cutscene where your only choice is to give up the baby cuz it will happen one way or another and has happened many times as denoted by all the tails marking on the lucetes chalk board ( over one hundred )... k so with that in mind the only way to stop the loop is to kill comstock and to do that we need to kill him when he was "born" aka when booker was baptised way back after the wounded knee battle...
WITH ME SO FAR ?
2.constance is a minor character and cannot alter time and space.. she write letters to elizabeth to try and become her pen friend her mother is contemptuous because of constance's studies stemming from being enamored with elizabeth. also on a side note constances name is constancy fields so litter easter egg
constance = constants and variables
fields = lucetes fields
kinda cool but still a minor character
3.elizabeth did not inherit her powers... this is explained in the voxophones...the lucetes made a machine to rip space time then experimented on elizabeth with it thats how she has the powers for the games purposes .... another way to think about it is since she was stolen and her pinky cut off she now "exits" in two universes so being the only person like that that could also be a source of her powers...
4. the lucetes want to rescue elizabeth because with her powers she is the only one who can really kill comstock aka bad booker for real no one else can not even booker himself as denoted by the many "tails" coin flips showing its inevitable that booker will get killed and fail every time..they are not really omniscient but since they have played with tears they are "aware" of themselves in diff universes including ones where comstock actually did kill them many times and has done who knows how many other horrible things by turning their experiments against them and against everyone...
5. yes songbird protected her kinda like booker did but no songbird was created at finks factory and yes it is a brainwashed human but its not booker it is however kyle fitzpatrick from the other games if u go on youtube u can find videos showing he sounds identical to him..
6. yes booker wants to save elizabeth because even tho he is supposed to bring her back and wash away some debt he grows to like her and wants to save her but this is driven by booker's want to get his anna back remember elizabeth is comstocks "creation" booker knows her as anna and by going thru this whole ordeal to save elizabeth its actually an attempt for booker to play the role of saving his anna little does he know that elizabeth somewhere along the line maybe old elizabeth or something has become aware that she is bookers daughter and wants booker to have her back .. booker thinks of saving elizabeth as killing comstock but elizabeth knows that killing comstock(really killing him not just drowning him on his airship, and instead drowning booker at his baptism the place where comstock was "born') will actually give booker anna his daughter back this is why she asks booker if he is really ready to do this in the lighthouses level she also knows that her existence wil be extinguished if this happens. this theory is confirmed by the scene after the credits where after all is said and done elizabeth never actually exists ( because comstock is "killed" and therfore can never come to collect or steal anna from booker experiment on her and turn her into his own daughter elzabeth. lucetes cannot bring booker out of the loop obviously since if they had that power they would just end comstock themselves instead they guide and help booker and elizabeth to do this instead remember they are not related or created by comstock so if comstock is defeated they will still exist, i'm sure they know this....but this also means that that our elizabeth we have been playing alongside for the past few games will never exist which is pretty sad;(
im sorry for the horrible grammar, punctuation and spelling errors but im on my phone and my lunch break so had to be quick lol
