SERN in Delta Field
So depending on the attractor field, convergence forces certain events. In the alpha worldlines, Mayuri will die in 2010. SERN will take over the world and create a dystopia. Okabe dies in 2025. In the beta ones, WWIII happens, but somehow Japan is semi-habitable despite being next to one of the big players. In the gamma ones, Y2K crash occured. Okabe and Mayuri's parents are killed. In 2010, the Rounders are much more powerful than in the alpha timelines, and Okabe is one himself. SERN creates their dystopia and Okabe becomes dictator of Japan known as Hououin Kyouma.

However, some events are simply events. The alpha attractor field allows changes within its timeline. Mayuri sending the message "tuturu" failed to activate Reading Steiner and that D-mail's arrival in the past didn't change them from sending it again in the future (possibly because Okabe just ignored it?). Okabe was able to get Ruka/Luka to win a small Lotto-6 prize through a D-mail, apparently being one number off allowed a prize. Farris's father's survival is not affected by the attractor field and neither is the state of Akihabara. Despite these wide changes in events, Okabe and his friends will meet, Mayuri will die, and SERN wins by convergence.

In Linear Bounded Phenogram, we see a few Delta field worldlines. In 3.019430 The Cage Bird Sings, Suzuha arrived in 2010 as a time tourist to meet her mother during Commia. In 3.386 Built with Love, Suzuha doesn't arrive at all and Nae has a sense of loss, so she said she was missing her mother. Eventually Okabe, who apparently had alpha timeline memories, realizes Suzuha is missing and probably won't come since the future is safe. In 3.030493 Superhero Chat-Noir, Suzha's time machine crashed into Radia Kaikan and she is on a mission. The Rounders are Suzuha's enemies, so they are not simple crimminals, almost like the alpha Rounders. In fact, this timeline is very much like the alpha field ones! So is SERN in that worldline creating their dystopia, but their victory simply an event in 3.030493, but in the alpha ones their victory is part of the attractor field itself?

In Alpha, the Dystopia through the time machine seems to be the main attractor convergence, in Delta it can be something else entirely, and SERN's dystopia doesn't have to happen.

The attractor field I'm the most curious about is Omega.

We don't know too much about Omega. Farris sent an unknown D-Mail to sometime immediatly after the bogus ransom note (although the conversation in the main visual novel with Faris's father Yukitaka suggests she was in fact kidnapped, suggesting that present day Faris's bogus ransom note led to a chain of events that got part Faris actually kidnapped), meaning events up to 1999 should be unaffected in the shunt to the Omega field. Therefore Mayuri and Okabe should still know each other regardless of the contents of the D-mail. Our only two glimpses into Omega are the Faris ending, where Okabe's friends don't recognize him except for Faris who he is dating (although Faris and Mayuri still know each other), and in Linear Bounded Phenogram Mayuri sent a D-mail which set the timeline to -.195 and she bearly knows Okabe, who apparently doesn't live in Akiba anymore.
