						 <p>Greetings and welcome to the Insurgency Wiki.</p> <p>A quick correction about SCP-CI history. Back in 2014 CI staff began a mass rewrite project and several pieces were deleted to comply with SCP quality standards. Following the rewrite much of the original community dispersed and even after that the CI-Wiki did not meet SCP's standards.</p> <p>As for Cad, he pops in from time to time, usually just an upvote or a few posts every year or so. If you wait around long enough and his pattern holds you will eventually meet him.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893984">Wiki Announcements and Proposals / Introductions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17601623/good-morning-good-evening-and-good-night">Good morning, good evening, and good night.</a>

						 <p>Hello and welcome to the wiki!</p> <p>Glad to see a new face here.</p> <p>The reason we arent a sister site to the SCP wiki is that way back when CI started the site was below the SCP wikis standard, and there were no serious attempts to sororitice the sites since then. I dont think it will work today either.</p> <p>As for Caduceus, no idea. I guess hes just, an adult now.</p> <p>Have a nice day!</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893984">Wiki Announcements and Proposals / Introductions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17601623/good-morning-good-evening-and-good-night">Good morning, good evening, and good night.</a>

						 <p>Hiya, I am a Chaos Insurgency fan and I came here to write some articles, read some articles, and do a bunch of other stuff.<br /> I like the color purple, I have a god complex, I am an Omnist, and I am also a new member of the SCP Wiki. P.S. Why aren't we a sister wiki to the SCP Wiki? I've seen the Hime Akumu page linked in the hub over there. Also, what happened to Dr. Caduceus? It seems like he hasn't updated in a while.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893984">Wiki Announcements and Proposals / Introductions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17601623/good-morning-good-evening-and-good-night">Good morning, good evening, and good night.</a>

						 <p>Lad,<br /> Change the tags, correct them if they are still not satisfing and send me in a private message how to apply correct ones in the future. Changed a few things here and there. to hopefully (haha get the pun?) make my writing a bit clearer since im not a professional in any sense and yes the book is the anomaly not just it content so photocopy doesn't work.<br /> Wheather to if A-04 is under the influence my response is : ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i don't know.<br /> If any spelling mistakes are found point them out in private message.<br /> once again i send my thanks.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17577104/lectures-of-fenrir">Lectures of Fenrir</a>

					<![CDATA[
						 <p>Hi,<br /> I am generally a &quot;what if&quot; reviewer, so I usually treat items as something we can actually study.</p> <p>These are the <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-849045/item-announcements-1:power-overwhelming">item</a> and <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-849726/story-announcements-1:once-upon-a-time">tale</a> announcement thread. Most people just use the per-page-discussion nowadays (which is the thread we are writing in now).</p> <p>For the designations i was thinking in terms of <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/personnel-designations">this interpretation</a> of our command structure. Having a General handle something that might compromise them seems dangerous. Letting Alpha personnel even touch the thing seems needlessly risky (if there is a touch effect). The Insurgency is no stranger to internal revolts. I thought the article implied that A-04 was already addicted to the item and working on a defection (&quot;I read it.&quot;). Would not be the first time <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/fractal-music-box">Fractal Music Box</a>.</p> <p>I think having something affect the mind is a dangerous, but compared to something like&quot;<a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/witching-well">Witching Well</a>&quot; which actually has caused loss of personnel in the past, the book has shown no indication of being that dangerous to CI-Personnel to the extend that admin staff has to sign for every use.</p> <p>If i understand you correctly, it is the book and not its content that is anomalous? If so, a photocopy would have no effect.</p> <blockquote> <p>Item’s activation is possible through simply reading it’s content.</p> </blockquote> <p>This suggested otherwise.<br /> I was thinking it was something like <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/bygone-jocundity">Bygone Jocundity</a>, where the content is the anomaly and not the medium. If so, copies of the content would have the same effect as the original.</p> <p>When it comes to the &quot;recovery&quot; I agree with you. I must have misread something in the usage section.</p> <p>I would advise you to consult the <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/tag-guide">Tag Guide</a> and redo the tags for the page. Tags like &quot;hope&quot;, &quot;book&quot; and &quot;wolf&quot; are already to specific (i suggest artifact and animal as tags) and while &quot;cognitohazard&quot; is in the terms page, the Insurgency uses the &quot;<a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/mind-affecting">mind-affecting</a>&quot; tag. There are a few more tags I would like to change, but i think you should try first.</p> <p>I think there were some spelling mistakes in there, but before I go hunting for those I would like to have the content straight in my head.</p> <p>I would not call it convoluted, I would call it either &quot;incomplete&quot; (I could not find a touch effect) or &quot;suspicious&quot; (why is someone under the influence of a mind-affecting artifact allowed to keep handling it and be able to write its deployment procedure in a way that keeps them getting in contact with it? Someone not addicted would not write &quot;loss is not an option&quot; into the document. The Insurgency has let go of great things when their <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/paper-colleague">cost grew to high</a>).</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17577104/lectures-of-fenrir">Lectures of Fenrir</a>

						 <p>Hi,<br /> thank you for noticing the report despite doing it without announcment , i was talking on feedback and posting on CI's discord tho but i will announce my future work if you kindly would provide me with a link to the page.</p> <p>In my mind Alpha Command should bother with direct threat to the organisation and not let lower ranks handle it but ok i will change it to probably like ''For gamma personel and higher only'' . Secondly, it just gives the exposed person maybe a vision and the effect of hope so you would open the book and then close it after some time with the large feeling of hope.</p> <p>Thirdly i don't think that replacing a possibly religious cognitohazard or an artefact is doable. In the report it is clearly mentioned that Mrs. Olsen was recovered due to discovery of an annomaly which wasn't somehing CI planned as well&#8230; they discovered it, when Item is in use the person can be exposed and then item stolen by the Sigma opperative infiltrating the ranks of the gang/paramilitary since the effect doesn't end.<br /> Lastly,<br /> The runes should tranlate into ''Wolf smiles upon you '' and ''Wolf laughs happily'' or simmilar but due to using diffrent translators and Old Norse gramaticc rules it got messed up in the translation.</p> <p>TLDR: I nontheless think the report is in a perfect state eventually if more people come to dicuss i will change the level of Apendix to Gamma (give or take might change or not). Additionally if i get it right is my writing to hard to understand or to convuluted? Would love to know,.<br /> P.S: Thank you for checking it out and taking your time ;3</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17577104/lectures-of-fenrir">Lectures of Fenrir</a>

						 <p>Greetings.</p> <p>I just saw your article. Usually when people post they announce it somewhere, be that under the file itself or the appropriate announcement page. That is usually done because sometimes the passive members just check the recent posts and not the front page.</p> <p>For what this does I would not trouble Alpha Command. Usually when you get past Gamma this get world ending really fast. I also find it unclear weather the book is written in an easy to understand language or it translates itself. Your handling procedures require gloves, but I have not seen a contact effect in either description. I would also be interested in the effects of translations and photocopies.</p> <p>If we can just print 20 of these we can let recovery fall to the wayside and have police deal with it. Worst case scenario the Foundation gets involved wasting their time and money and best case we might have a lot more Insurgence at our hand that have actual training by being criminals for longer.</p> <p>I have also not seen why we should get people nudges over the edge and then immediately extract them. If we need to deploy items in the wild that usually means that we can not get to a target otherwise. Getting two guys in black suits some official looking badges is easier than actually extracting people already wanted by police. If we want these people to be criminals for us do to their position extracting them seems counterproductive.</p> <p>As for the runes: I do not get the bed, smile or shine, but I appreciate the attempt. It has been a while since I had to use a translator for CI matters.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17577104/lectures-of-fenrir">Lectures of Fenrir</a>

						 <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210730210752/http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/nevermore">Nevermore</a> (Added to the Arsenal 12 Jun 2019) I do not recall who the author was.</p> <p>The file is save, but this looks like an author self-delete. Sometimes when people leave Wikidot they clean up after themself. There is no mention of it in the &quot;deletions thread&quot; which was still active around that time. Baronjoe removed it from the Arsenal on 25 Sep 2021.</p> <p>Edit: The author of Tógálaí is listed as AtypicallyAzathoth in the Spanish translation.<br /> The Chinese Never-More translation credits Doctor Xythinien, and I know Xyt had an alt account do to <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-13798952/i-return-my-compatriots">this thread</a>. Xyt, is also known for deleting alts. Considering that Tógálaí is the squeal and both authors are deleted I am 75% confident to a attribute Nevermore to that user as well.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-13864505/togalai">Tógálaí</a>

						 <p>So, just a quick update: My time managment sucks.</p> <p>Meta, your thingy is, like, 33% written down. Should be finished in no less than 2 days because there is no drafting or anything invovled, only typing and SPaG.</p> <p>Crayon man, I can't even. So my original idea proved unfeasible, so I basically pivoted to basically creating a slide show with a bunch of infographics for a CI orientation on [SPOILER], but I haven't figured out how to properly display it as an article. Like, apparently you can embedd PDFs, so releasing it as one would work, but gnaaaaaaaaarf.</p> <p>Would any of this have happened if I had started before christmas' eve with working on the drafts?</p> <p>&#8230;tbh, probably yes.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893990">Wiki Announcements and Proposals / Policy Discussion/Proposals</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-14206884/let-s-make-another-contest">Let's make another contest</a>

						 <p>Glad you liked it.</p> <p>I never heard of the lamp incident (I was referencing something else). I also never heard of that sign, but I knew of 2 buildings that turn cars into mush when hit with sunlight from the right angle (which happens daily).</p> <p>You are right with <em>Stepford</em>, but I never read the book or watched the movies. A lot of bad blood could have been prevented if the dudes just left their woman for the robots instead of attempting a replacement plot.</p> <p>You can never have enough useful idiots, fallguys, alibis, cheep espionage and self-delusionists. Also it takes longer to make sure your brick did not hit a lawyer or a someone who would be missed by an employer.</p> <p>I am working under the assumption that there is enough anomalous AI out there that has tried to be Skynet that fails because better AIs keep them in check. The AIs are people, people that are really difficult to kill or predict. I have seen enough code that should work, but does not to not trust them. For reference see self-driving cars that suddenly and for no apperent reason try to drive into oncoming traffic. The CI deals with AIs that range from &quot;more than a machine, most likely&quot; to &quot;why are you not god, exactly?&quot;. Dealing with AI is like dealing with anomalous persons that also have their mind affected. Trusting that would reduces mission success.</p> <p>Originally, the deceptions would not have been marked at all, but I wanted to show that something was going on with it. Would {} do the trick?</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17498453/as-per-the-specification">As per the Specification</a>

						 <p>Normally I'd vehemently complain about the, ahem, <em>meta</em>fictional parts of this work, but frankly I'm actually enjoying this way to much to focus on the bad parts.</p> <p>Honestly I'm not sure if many of the parts here are even deliberate references of yours or just a haunting case of art imitating life, but:</p> <blockquote> <p>what counted as woman was as valued as a decorative lamp</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/14/palo_alto_networks_execs_apologize/">Happened with the tech bros, of course.</a></p> <blockquote> <p>A bird landed on a curve that might be a bench, before it incinerated.</p> </blockquote> <p>I think the most likely reference to pop culture might by Night City's bird extermination act (<em>Cyberpunk</em> Roleplaying Game), but that in turn is based on real precedent, namely urbanites being just fucking menaces with a net negative contribution to everything that is good:<br /> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171220013116/https%3A//www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/bird-spikes-droppings-expensive-sports-cars-environmentalists-angered-rspb-clifton-down-bristol-a8117786.html">Wealthy Bristol residents cause uproar by installing 'anti-bird spikes' to stop droppings hitting expensive cars.</a><br /> I'm also not sure what movie the line &quot;WARNING: this bench becomes red hot between 2 AM and 6 AM.&quot; originates from (I can't even find a damn picture of it) but it's <a href="https://www.jwz.org/blog/2008/01/warning-this-bench-becomes-red-hot-between-2-am-and-6-am/">been around for a while</a>.</p> <p>The <em>The Stepford Wives</em> allusions are so strong I wouldn't believe you if you told me it wasn't on purpose. Or probably a flavour of overshooting counter-<em>Geneshaft</em> conditioning&#8230; (Wtf was Geneshaft even on about? I can't know whether I agree with its message until I figure out what it was in the first place.)</p> <p>I agree that the Epilogue &quot;twist&quot; was very important. Of course we'd do something like that, especially since it is probably among the more ethical endeavours to achieve those ends (although I am not sure what we need spineless, detached males for; you could lob bricks at random in the city and you wouldn't hit a non-target).</p> <p>On to gushing about great sentences that I especially liked:</p> <blockquote> <ul> <li>A good dystopia has teeth like a shark. Break out one and the next one will just slot into place in time.</li> <li>[&#8230;] money flows, from the desperate to the deserving.</li> <li>Like a garden SiliconPeak grew men complicit with cruelty and great in self delusion, yet secretive and superficial</li> <li>If the mask slips we may assume ourselves lucky to have glimpsed the truth, but someone might have a plan and showing you a losing hand might just make you bet more. Do not assume to know all moving parts. Do not trust that you did not see what you were meant to see. Some are lying, some just do not know better and some have an interest in making you know what you know.</li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>Oh yeah, you probably mean contemporary LLMs branded as &quot;agentic&quot; AI and not AI as a whole. I don't think the concept of artificial intelligence is something the CI would distrust. Unlike natural stupidity, a rational player is much easier to predict.</p> <p>Oh yeah also you might not want to exclusively rely on colour to mark certain passages. Males frequently suck at telling colours apart (I think Tritanopia struggles with Blue/Green, but I'm far from sure here) but even disregarding them there's still issues for things like reading mode, narration (for the fully blind) or simply people wanting to print out your article suffering.</p> <p>Now excuse you whilst I go rummaging for the plans regarding the aggressively parcouring magical girl SWAT team I shelved somewhere&#8230;</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17498453/as-per-the-specification">As per the Specification</a>

						 <p>Ah, don't worry, I pride myself in my characters being usually more competent and proactive than the Foundation (which, I must remind you, has magic &quot;anomaly go away&quot; machines a.k.a. Scranton Reality Anchors and still manages to have containment breaches like it's weekly schedule). I'll have to find a way to not come across as arrogant though&#8230;</p> <hr /> <p>The key to abridged series has always been exaggeration, not ridicule. Just that this is really hard with YGO because SHUEISHA/TV TOKYO is of the &quot;I don't even know writers who use subtext, but if I did, they'd all be cowards&quot;-variety.

(I always write my posts by just freely blasting out associations and then try to string words in-between in a way that looks coherent, just like an LLM.)</p> <p>Anyway, at the one hand you have something urban &amp; counter-cultural, which is contrasting a solarpunk dystopia, that happens to be near future (kind of a given) and oppressive (ditto).</p> <p>Now, of course ME isn't solarpunk in and of itself (it lacks the gratuitous use of shrubbery that's put on every piece of residential property because trust me bro, that is absolutely enough to offset the massive carbon negative and lasting environmental scarring that our semiconductor-heavy industry is cause just off-screen), I think the most vegetation you ever see is <a href="https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=4EQ5hJU-Wcg">near the end of ME:Catalyst</a>.</p> <p>But yes, I generally do consider solarpunk to be dystopian. Perhaps against authorial intent (after all, plenty a national-socialist fantasy was supposed to be utopian, as long as you don't approach the concept with common sense or bothering for what happens to the people not centred in such societies). In the end it is narrow tech-bro futurism given the green- (and possibly also pink-)washing treatment, dragging the environmentalist concepts it leeches off through the dirt, diluting every political message it could have had with &quot;Golly gee, people should just be nicer&quot; and being deliberately blind in understanding realistic concerns whilst underhandedly acting enlightened about the very same.</p> <p>Or, in simpler terms: in a Star Trek episode, when they beam down to a Solarpunk world, you just know it's a facade for something truly depraved. (Ignoring the moral simplicity and inconsistency if Federation problem solving that will inevitably ensue.)</p> <p>And given that a (rather ironic) recurring theme of Solarpunk is humanity amending its way because <em>it's the only way to survive</em> in the face of collapse makes them even more dystopic. (Also ignoring that as a drop-in replacement of the consoomer's current life, but with lush garden parks, most solarpunk &quot;utopias&quot; aren't particularly sustainable, be it socially, politically, economically or even environmentally. Almost like it's feel-good hoping best set to corporates inspiring ad-music slop purposefully crafted to not question the current way of living of industrial societies.)</p> <p>Perhaps I am too harsh on the genre, but little others truly make a claim to be &quot;hopeful&quot; as solarpunk is.</p> </div> </div> </div> <p>Wasn't the ME WR heavily glitched and out of bounds? Or did you watch glitchless?</p> <blockquote> <p>The only way I could make that work is something like Bioshocks Rapture, where the rich build a city far away from normal people problems.</p> </blockquote> <p>I mean, almost. Bioshock (1&amp;2, Infinite's political messaging was &#8230; messy) is a deconstruction of libertarianism. Or rather a parody? Because as shown, there's nothing deconstructing that idea faster than having it play out completely straight. I dislike that games as games, but as pieces of art? 10/10, no notes.</p> <p>It also features the idea of an outsider perspective on the system, but they don't seem as much to outright reject it as the runners do with their off-the-grid living. Think about how your grind-fiction (Animemo? is that actually a term?) youths would engage with the world twenty minutes into the future, with an figuratively, and sometimes also literally, stratified society.</p> <p>If you bear with me for a moment (I write, roughly 4k characters in), I think this has an interesting connecting with the concept of &quot;liminality&quot; as it was before the internet got its hands on it. Whilst the places explored are spatial close, if not identical, to the lifescape of the common populace, their social and practical roles differ greatly. And I think that's something that fascinates me and made me write this increasingly elaborate wish: the almost alien lens on the shared urban habitat, and the difference between living <em>in</em> and living <em>through</em> it. Third places become passage ways, whilst unpersonal off-limit areas necessitated by shrimple logistics become zones of freedom and expression.</p> <blockquote> <p>Solid colors, no patterns (AI reality overlay?, some things change color to indicate intractability</p> </blockquote> <p>It's called &quot;runner's vision&quot;, and whilst being incorporated visually appealingly, it still remains one of the great scourges of the gaming industry, namely (rightfully) assuming that players are big dumb-dumbs that need everything traced out step-by-step for them. Mind you, the game was released by EA.</p> <hr /> <p>Haha, you though I would just go off the rails indefinitely? Think again! I have something on topic to contribute:</p> <p>Namely that we need somebody (Crayon man) to contribute before we can start. I think &quot;aim for the 24th Dec, with hard cut-off at the 6th Jan&quot; is &#8230; reasonable. After all, this is an informal thing.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893990">Wiki Announcements and Proposals / Policy Discussion/Proposals</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-14206884/let-s-make-another-contest">Let's make another contest</a>

						 <blockquote> <p>&quot;how long ago was X&quot; is an observer-dependent question</p> </blockquote> <p>The question does not address the definition. From the &quot;cosmic now&quot; one person is now indeed ahead of the other, but they do not share the same now anymore. For them to communicate they need to resynce to a common point.</p> <blockquote> <p>In short, the &quot;plane of now&quot; of observers in different frames of reference is not identical, as I previously mentioned.</p> </blockquote> <p>Yes, but cosmic now does not care.</p> <p>Assume two people get their clocks synced, than one gets slowed by relativistic motion, once they can again interact the clocks show different distances to the &quot;first now&quot;, but in the process of re-syncing there is a time they both synce to, a &quot;new now&quot;, for one person it would be 3 hours ago and for the other it may be months but they both sync to that time to share their now. The now of the clocks no longer matches the now of the communication. The cosmic now and the now of humans are different. Normal matter too resyncs their clocks by getting into an interaction.<br /> Imagen the two stay in contact for the whole thing with all the frequency stretching that entails. One person talking slower does not break causality.</p> <p>Sorry that I did not mention that part with different now's before. I should have.<br /> I do not intend to say that there are no relative time-frames. I just wanted to say that there is an observer independent now, which can be measured independent of light-speed or time distortion.</p> <p>I guesstimate that matter decays faster outside of time dilation.</p> <hr /> <p>With items I assume they work as written and than how it works breaks down once you try things the author has not accounted for. The item is hollow until cut open. With this item it becomes a question of &quot;what did the makes of the beds define as human&quot;. The terminator needs to look human to go through time. If not sky-net would have send something better. The T-1000 is my main problem with it. Why not send a T-1000 factory? No, it needed to look human for narrative reasons. The terminator time-machine is actively restricted by it being a fictional element and not &quot;real science&quot;. Breaking the beds is to me more about figuring out how far the narrative object can be stretched before someone points at it declaring &quot;That's not how the force works.&quot;</p> <p>An answer to the wrapping idea would be that the bed would need to make a detection of &quot;not human&quot; and than exclude the result from transport. The &quot;text as written&quot; does not imply such a function. From the standpoint of &quot;good design&quot; it can be argued that it should not work, but I would counter that there is no rule against it in the text and so there is no such exception. We should try standard ropes first though. If it does not take the backpack with, it will not take an other attachment that is even larger. Also, does the effect not replicate? We can just make the test beds and keep the originals. The standing order is to burn access, why not use it instead?</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17467176/cii-022">CII-022</a>

						 <p>Have you ever stared into the fractured paradigms of the known and felt not confusion, but a peculiar hunger? A sense that the anomalies we contain, the realities we breach, and the physics we rewrite are merely surface tremors of something far deeper—a substrate of possibility where logic and metaphor bleed into one another.<br /> I propose the establishment of a new department within our illustrious organization: The Department of Diaphysics (from the Greek dia, “through, across, beyond,” and physis, “nature”).<br /> Diaphysics is not the study of what is, nor solely of what isn’t. It is the study of what lies through. It concerns itself with the frameworks that allow reality to transition, transform, and translate itself—and how we might insert ourselves into those seams. It is the science of the liminal, the theory of the transitive, the metaphysics of metaphor-in-action.</p> <p>At its heart lies the concept of the Diaphor.</p> <p>A metaphor is a figure of speech that suggests a likeness. A Diaphor is something far more potent: it is a tool, a principle, or sometimes even a contaminated object that acts as a functional bridge between two ontologically separate states. It does not just describe transformation—it enforces it.</p> <p>Think of a cognitohazard that doesn’t just kill you, but rewrites your life story as a tragic sonnet in the minds of those who remember you. That is a diaphoric effect. A diaphor is the key that turns in the lock between “what is” and “what could be,” and our role is to forge, steal, and wield these keys.<br /> The Department’s Preliminary Aims:</p> <p>Cataloguing &amp; Isolation: Identifying natural and artificial diaphors within our holdings and across the noosphere.</p> <p>Theoretical Diaphysics: Developing models for diaphoric potency, transferential pathways, and existential risk.</p> <p>Applied Transgression: Designing controlled diaphoric interventions. Want to turn a dictator’s heart into a literal stone? Not with mere magic—with precise diaphoric engineering. Want to translate a memetic kill agent into a harmless nursery rhyme? That is diaphoric translation.</p> <p>The Diaphor Initiative: The ultimate goal: not just to use existing bridges between concepts, but to identify or create the Prime Diaphor—the hypothetical mechanism through which the fundamental rules of all reality are metaphorized into being. Whoever controls that, controls the substrate of everything.</p> <p>We are the Chaos Insurgency. We do not merely break rules. We break the context of rules. We do not just cross lines; we redraw the map so the lines lead to our doors. Diaphysics is the formalization of this sacred work.</p> <p>Those of you who dream in code that rewrites itself, who see narratives as systems to be hacked, who understand that a symbol can be sharper than any knife—I invite you to step through.<br /> Comment below. Use secure channels. Bring your own metaphors. We have a reality to unstitch and reweave.</p> <p>We do not fear the abyss between truths. We build bridges across it.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893947">Help Section / Help: Forming Ideas</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17474812/proposal:department-of-diaphysics-the-art-of-the-diaphor">Proposal: Department of Diaphysics &amp; The Art of the Diaphor</a>

						 <p>So basically the idea is a refinement of the Secret Santa concept. Also, I think it's better to keep this non-contest event somewhat informal (i.e. no main page announcement and hub) because of it's nature. If anybody outside the usual suspects wants to participate (or even just post a wish), just hit us up here.</p> <p>Basically: by the 10th, we all make a public wish of what we'd like to see in an article. Does not have to be a tag specifically but basically anything you enjoy. If you want landsharks, you shall receive landsharks. Then we all try to write something that satisfies as many <strong>other</strong> wishes as possible. The &quot;other&quot; is important, because otherwise we all end up with the same, identical crowdsourced prompt. Posting should be by 24th? 25th? 6th of January? Whenever the russians have christmas? Hell, now thinking about it, don't the japanese have some Tannenbaum-festival where they pin wishes to a tree?</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893990">Wiki Announcements and Proposals / Policy Discussion/Proposals</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-14206884/let-s-make-another-contest">Let's make another contest</a>

						 <blockquote> <p>Now, as I define it, is independent from light speed. It is not beholden to an observer.

How many nows there are depend on how small you measure and what is rounded together.</p> </blockquote> <p>That'd be a good solution (and so awfully obvious we'd have to fire all physicists for missing it all that time) if it weren't for the fact that &quot;how long ago was X&quot; is an observer-dependent question (you could say it is &#8230; relative) and that's where it all comes crashing down.</p> <p>Let me give you a quick counter example. You know how time dilates and &quot;slows&quot; down as you go faster? (And you better not question <em>this</em>, because besides gravity lensing it's like the one thing we have clear, fool-proof experimental evidence off. It's something that already becomes relevant in applications like GNSSs, so if you do, I'll be coming for your shins.) Now assume we have parties A and B, who meet up and sync their clocks. B is supposed to enter a spaceship moving at 99% the speed of light, and only leave after exactly one year. (The funny thing is they don't actually have to go anywhere, they can just fly in circles on the parking lot for all it matters.) When B finally leave their spaceship, <a href="https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=time%20dilation%20at%200.99%20c">according to WolframAlpha, roughly 7 years will have passed</a>. Now if &quot;the same time&quot; is two objects at the same timestamp according to their own worldline, and they both have a miraculous device that can communicate instantaneously by this definition, you just broke causality. Because now A can walk up to B, tell them the lottery numbers from 6 years ago, B uses the device to instantly communicate them to A &quot;at the same time&quot; (which to them would be an A with the clock at 1 year) and we just committed lottery fraud that isn't illegal in any jurisdiction.</p> <p>Now of course this is just a problem with your theory, and not general relativity. To understand that, I tentatively recommend <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an0M-wcHw5A&amp;t=600">Cool World's video</a> on the topic (although you may want to skip unnecessary parts with SponsorBlock). Truth be told, it has it's flaws, the same ones like most explanations, namely trying to avoid scaring away the viewer with linear algebra<sup class="footnoteref"><a id="footnoteref-13210-1" href="javascript:;" class="footnoteref" >1</a></sup>, but it's the least bad I could be bothered to find on short notice.<br /> In short, the &quot;plane of now&quot; of observers in different frames of reference is not identical, as I previously mentioned. It is unintuitive because human conceptualize the world in a different way, but the universe doesn't owe us to make sense.</p> <p>There's only one &quot;reversal&quot;. If you watched the video, you see that it happens when you cross over the light barrier, when the time and space axis &quot;swap places&quot;.</p> <p>Now to the actual philosophical concept of messing around with Items: the whole point of this is trying to &quot;break&quot; the Item and try to exploit its known, physics-defying properties, and not postulating new ones which end up restricting us to the &quot;intended&quot; use. I operate under the assumption that unless otherwise states, an Item behaves like a non-anomalous counterpart (although whether in-universe there were chances to confirm that is another question).</p> <p>That out of the way I assume there is some cutoff as to what is still &quot;human enough&quot;, and I'm not sure if a thin coat of spray paint suffices. To me this means the dead, top layer of your skin would probably already counter as a whole human, or if you need a nervous system, etc., perhaps a particularly gross teratoma. A person grafted into the container seems to be closer to, say, somebody with a pacemaker, an artificial joint, or even a pregnancy being transported.</p> <p>HOWEVER, now I wonder whether we could wrap the human around the entire bed to include it that way? Or at least a second bed? That seems like a wonderfully elaborate way to permanently lose a bed.</p> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-13210-1"><a href="javascript:;" >1</a>. It's almost like our school system discarding any proper mathematical understanding in favour of sheer arithmetic memoization raises people to be suspicious of any mathematical structure that isn't a scalar. And in a rare moment of admitting weakness, I recall struggling myself at first the moment vector spaces of functions, in particular polynomials, showed up. Like how are a bunch of straight lines supposed to define a hyperboloid which is curved <em>everywhere</em> by definition!?

						 <p>Well, I'm not going to rattle down all of general relativity here, but essentially the concept of simultaneity breaks down across frames of reference. (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox?useskin=vector">see the ladder paradox for an unrelated, but very bewildering example</a>.)</p> <p>As for the cocomitance, it is not clear how these beds work across large distances. If we define &quot;now&quot; as the moment i throw my Rising Star in the air, our outpost at Rigel will only perceive &quot;now&quot; 850 years &quot;later&quot;, and if they respond in kind, it will be the same time back. So picking targets might work differently - either the beds are connected through a shared frame of reference, or perhaps it's some sort of eventual-consistency asynchronocity, where A might appear where B was, whilst be takes the place of C to balance things out in the grand scheme of things. Probably allows some rather clunky time travel too.</p> <p>And the flow of time &quot;stops&quot; not at inifinite speed, but at lightspeed. Anything after that should move backwards in time. (See the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyonic_antitelephone?useskin=vector">Tachyonic Antitelephone</a>.)</p> <p>I'm not sure an object with positive mass can actually experience this negative time though, at least it can not be &quot;accelerated&quot; to even reach the speed of light, let alone surpass it.</p> <p>Personaly, I conjecture this is likely some sort of wormhole-esque shortcut, with the &quot;phasing in and out of existence&quot; implying a translation along a non-standard spatial axis. (Which interestingly means they might tunnel just through where the Phoenix Tank is currently stuck, huh.</p> <p>Also I am fairly certain we can probably bioengineer a person with storage space/pouches in their body, All Tomorrows-style.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17467176/cii-022">CII-022</a>

						 <p>I was wondering why the room needs a 5m high ceiling.</p> <p>As I understood it if you sleep on it you sleep for 8h and if within this 8h someone else is also on a bed they swap places within the 8h window over and over in random intervals. If that is true than we can just have 2 people in the loading dock two beds at all time, so if anyone wants to send something they just need to go in their bed and have a high chance of getting to their designation.</p> <p>What is a human and how do we increase its storage capacity?<br /> The cheapest option I can think of is a toddler without arms and legs but a lot of backpacks strapped to them. A bit higher up the chain is Human-Serum mini humans fused with storage crates. Ideally if the beds properties replicate we replicate them into some cartoonishly large mattress/steel-beams construct and have shipping crate sized transport with a human cell culture system bolted to the inside.</p> <p>Load and unload does not have to be performed on the bed so we switch out the loading containers and can guaranty a permanent presence, bypassing the cooperation problem. Also a clock send with the device should be usable to sync times across space creating Chaos Insurgency Standard Space Time. Relativism stops to matter at instant speed, if I have understood it correctly, if time gets slower the faster you are than at infinite speed time would stop. Sadly it might be that if something is faster than light time goes backwards. Infinity is a lot larger than Lightspeed and I do not know how many reversals are on the speed graph.<br /> How does anti-time de-age matter? If nothing is added will it just run on reverse entropy?</p> <p>All of this was never intentioned by the author and I am here for it.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17467176/cii-022">CII-022</a>

I know that I write a lot (by CI standards), it is just that I have a lot of things with a 0 or 1 as its score (of the last 10 creative writings that are still on site 5 are in that range).<br /> Second, I think it is the intention that counts, gifting someone a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange#Etymology">white elephant</a> was according to legend not a nice gift.<br /> Third, I said I am game. If you get this going I will participate.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893990">Wiki Announcements and Proposals / Policy Discussion/Proposals</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-14206884/let-s-make-another-contest">Let's make another contest</a>

						 <p>I disliked others attempts to write a history of the Insurgency, because I did not like having my version questioned. The long version is a different beast, but this version is what I put out there.</p> <p>Hope it is enjoyable. If you think it is tagged wrong I am open to changing it.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-855682">Per Page Discussions / Per page discussions</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17466960/dark-days-ahead">Dark Days ahead</a>

						 <p>I have no recollection of Dinosaur Guns, but if they exist we can find them. We have the technology.</p> <p>What do you connect with the date? I do not recall a specific event tied to that day.</p> <p>As much as I like presents I believe I might have trouble with that. My writing is pretty much a coin-flip on whether what I write is good and making it target adds another flip. If someone is willing to take the 25% chance of literary deodorant bottle for Christmas I am game.</p> <br/>Forum category: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/c-893990">Wiki Announcements and Proposals / Policy Discussion/Proposals</a><br/>Forum thread: <a href="http://ci-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-14206884/let-s-make-another-contest">Let's make another contest</a>
