Former lesser anomalous object now turned into a full blown RPC. Hailing from a distant reality, the Revolutionary Calculator has come to spread Computational Marxism far and wide throughout the entire multiverse at the expense of other people.
Hey Thrax, I just read your article, and I found it quite interesting and well thought out, I'm gonna make a few points of criticism however. You also appear to have some issues with formatting, you didn't assign your RPC a number.
1.Firstly, I like what you've come up with, the object's effects on the human mind are quite intriguing and interesting. The first part of the description and the Containment protocols are well done.
2.That being said, I don't really think that the whole Marxism aspect fits in, its generally unrelated to what you have set up in the first few paragraphs of the article.
3. Though, despite that, the part about Marxism is nicely done, it isn't devoid of sense completely.
4.Now, the addendum/discovery part, it's a mixed bag. You censored a lot of information there, however with good reason, since that info is classified. Half of it is nicely written and, honestly, quite good, however, I don't like the part about the MST fighting the Islamic terrorists, why would the millitary agency of a classified, secret organization, openly battle against a terrorist group, in a public area? You could have also written a bit more about the events that happened during the conflict.
5. As for my last point, all the people getting cancer is really not connected to anything previously mentioned in the article, its the only part of your entry that I heavily dislike.
Don't take my criticism too harshly, every writer has to start somewhere :)
Thanks for the criticism, grungo. I kind of get mixed up with wanting to include a GOI I want to do for RPC, but I realized that wouldn't be appropriate until I actually have written an RPC that's actually about them.
No problem, keep writing and improving. I wish you luck in your writing endeavors.
Overall, I think this RPC has a lot of cool potential. I really like the explanation of Computational Marxism, although I would enjoy seeing some examples of whatever Marxist math looks like. The discovery log is also pretty interesting but way too short I think, and the ending twist wasn't too satisfying for me. I'm also not really a big fan of compulsion anomalies in general, but I think it could work here if some conceptual issues are addressed.
I'm somewhat confused over the Karl Marx AI narrative. Cargo cults form from what I know because these remote tribes think some object like a humanitarian plane is from the gods and so will make these idols of them so more supply comes back. The article suggests that people are proselytizing the faith because they think the calculator's AI is bringing Karl Marx's vision on Earth in a way that suggests Karl Marx himself is the AI. That's more like Fetishism than cargo cult behavior I think.
I think the more interesting idea is to have people just proselytize Computational Marxism itself. Anytime a person gets exposed to the math, they realize that the only logical solution is to overthrow all world governments in a violent Communist revolution, because that's what the math shows. It's so logical as to be undeniable. Perhaps when the Iron Initiative tested it, people also wanted to overthrow the Soviet Union too and that's why they buried it away in that site.
I wasn't too interested in the breakdown of the calculator components being unknown materials. It doesn't really add anything one way or another except to suggest it may not be from our reality, which I wasn't a fan of. The 'making anomalous weapons from normal materials' ability just seems overpowered to me, as well as it working with any 'anomalous machine.'
For the discovery log, there's a lot of interesting history going on there and I want to know more about what exactly was going on. Why is there an anti-anomalous tech Muslim insurgency in Algeria? Why was the Iron Initiative there? Did the Liberation Army have prior experience with the anomalous or was this a first-time thing? What happened to the guy they haven't rescued in 15 years? Good luck!
level 4
Level 4 is a pretty high clearance level for a calculator. I'm basing that off what I remember from the old LAO entry. Will come back to this point after reading through the rest of the draft.
EDIT: So it's a pretty powerful calculator, although Level 4 might be a little high imo but it's fine if that's what you want.
their key cards, which contain a smart card
Are you referring to like how credit cards have RFID chips in them?
hallway's automated sensors from activating the nerve agent dispensing from via air filters.
This is quite a stringent security measure. The RPC has to be very dangerous for the Authority to have this kind of protocol. Will come back to this point later.
EDIT: Given how easy the RPC is to contain by itself, and that accidental exposures could also be contained pretty easily, I don't think this protocol is called for.
Description:
A red scientific calculator
Formatting is off here. I'd rewrite this as: "Description: RPC-XXX is a red scientific calculator"
the back of the calculator
I'd just say 'on its back' or 'on the back of the casing'
glass like substance
Is there a reason it isn't just plastic/acrylic or regular glass?
RPC-XXX itself
Like the calculator CPU chip? I would specify what component is being mentioned here so it's more clinical tone.
other more anomalous areas of mathematics
Since it's not the focus of the article I get why nothing more is said here, but it would be cool to mention or footnote some examples of anomalous mathematics.
anomalous machine
Too vague of a category for me. Every anomalous machine?
manipulate its properties to their own benefit
It manipulates the data on the machines or the data from the machines?
This is only an ability displayed by higher ranking affiliated members of a cargo cult of RPC-XXX.
So it only does that function when one of these cult members uses the calculator?
copious amount
Not a clinical term for measurement.
has been diagrammed
The way I'm reading this makes it seem like the Authority made a diagram of the calculator with these anomalous materials as the components, not that they read a diagram of the calculator that shows what it's made of.
The most anomalous property
I would refrain from tier-ranking an RPC's anomalous properties in the article. Unless it's like connected to some measurement of reality, like the Anderson Coherency Scale, it's too vague of a term on its own.
some degree
Make more clinical.
Individuals have been observed to have formed a cargo cult around RPC-XXX.
Which individuals? Specify.

This involves an armed rebellion2 from impoverished workers to overthrow world government's and establish a global Computational Marxist regime.
The phrasing in this sentence is jumbled. I would say:
"This involves an armed rebellion from impoverished workers overthrowing world governments and establishing a global Computational Marxist regime."
The issue with this sentence is that it's not really too clear what the terms are. Like, what is being defined as an impoverished worker? Armed rebellion is clear, but are other forms of instituting Computational Marxism like through democracy or anarchy excluded?
or somehow be able to make anomalous weapons made of scrap and available materials near them in their location.
They can just assemble random anomalous weapons out of normal materials around them? I think this ability needs to be explained in more detail because it comes off as OP imo.
Yet despite this, there have few incidences where highly trained and professional militia members in the Algerian National Liberation Army3 have been able to acquire the calculator through unknown means as documented in Incident Report File XXX-1.
What? This entire sentence is jumbled up. I rewrote it as:
"there have only been a few incidents where highly trained and (redundant) professional militia members in the Algerian National Liberation Army have been able to acquire the calculator through unknown means, as documented in Incident Report File XXX-1."
What is the Algerian National Liberation Front? I assume they are some communist rebels but you should explain more in the footnote.

Being specialists in guerilla warfare and insurgency operations to disrupt the operations of organizations and to undermine governments if they prove to become a threat if they have access to anomalous objects and technology.
This is an incomplete sentence. Okay, so they're specialists in these covert activities. That means they…what?
a rescue operation for 13 years has been active.
What happened to this guy? Would like more details.

Did you mean "will ensure the erasure of their base human instincts"
Thanks, Sovereign. Your critique is definitely very detailed and points out one of my many glaring flaws within the article. I soon hope to fix all of them and hopefully make it onto the main site.

Updated in accordance to the criticisms given out by SovereignAuthority.
high security containment vault
high-security
accessible only by a level 4 key card with a built-in RFID chip.
I don't see why you'd specify the mechanics of a level-4 key card where it would most likely be common knowledge in-universe. If the purpose here is to monitor those who have accessed the RPC and might be be affected, you can always just scale it back to logging the entries and exits of personnel.
Level-4 key card
Suggest Change: accessible only to level-3 personnel who must register during entry and exit of the containment unit.
RPC-XXX is to be placed in a glass display case, measuring 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.9 in length and width.
What is the necessity in specifying the dimensions of the display case, furthermore, why would you put it on a display case if you want to deter any unwanted personnel from interacting with it?
The display case's panel access is locked by a five digit pass-code, only accessible to Level 4 staff and senior-security personnel.
five-digit
Level-4 staff
(I will also have to ask you the reason to limit the access to personnel who are at the levels of Site administrations and Directors instead of actual researchers (More info in here). I find it reasonable that there is more incentive to prevent and outbreak of communism instead of looking for research value but that is absolutely something that you should have stated in the article)
Suggest Change: (Just lock them in anything but a glass case)
Personnel are to carry their key cards, which contain a smart card, at all times to prevent the hallway's automated sensors from activating an alarm. The alarm will alert nearby ASF team members to apprehend the subject who has unauthorized access to the hallway containing RPC-XXX.
(Here you indicate that there are further approval requirements for access to XXX in addition to Level-4 clearance which contradicts what you've set up in the first part (unless this another information regarding the mechanics of keycards, in which case they are unnecessary as I've said)
Automated sensors are placed within the hallway leading up to the containment vault. Nearby ASF units will be alerted to any unauthorized attempts at accessing RPC-XXX and apprehended personnel will be subjected to interrogation.
ability to interface with any form of non-anomalous machine or anomalous machine
Can be shorten to "ability to interface with any form of machines"
This is only an ability displayed by higher ranking affiliated members of a cargo cult of RPC-XXX as testing with CSD have been unable to replicate this ability.
(Put it in a footnote)
"This ability has only been seen performed by member of (Cargo Cult Name). CSD testings thus far have fail to produce similar effects."
RPC-XXX appears to have the ability to exert some degree of mental control over individuals when in a range of 2 meters or more, with the maximum being around 30 or 40 meters.
individuals within a range of 2 to ~35 meters
Mind-Control Hazard, Ideological Hazard
exert some degree of mental control
Affected individuals will believe in an esoteric version of Marxist-Leninist ideology that has been described as Computational Marxism by influenced individuals.
So which one is it? Mind control or Ideology manipulation? There absolutely should not be an in-between for the RPC. It expands on the psyche of the victims: Are they simply mindless slaves compelled to do what it wills them or are they acting on their own based upon their newfound ideology?
Individuals have been observed to have formed a cult around RPC-XXX
Individuals have been observed to form cults around RPC-XXX
Those that are apart of this cult will possess an immense amount of mathematical knowledge regardless of prior education.

interrogations from affected individuals
interrogations of
RPC-XXX holds an artificial-intelligence copy of Karl Marx
Suggest Change: "digital copy" or "digital consciousness"
As described from interrogations with affected individuals, a Proletariat's Revolution involves an overthrow of all democratic governments and "false utopias" through the use of armed partisans from different countries.
Wouldn't it be even more accurate to simply overthrow All existing governments seeing how not even the actual socialist states follow true Marxism and would be even more fitting to be called "false utopias"?
Calculations from affected individuals have given that the number of casualties would be somewhere to 223 million to [REDACTED].
I don't see the point to redacting it, I'd argue that revealing the maximum estimation would have no effect to the article if not a greater one. Were it to be a Billion number it doesn't change much, were it to be a number exceeding our current population would gave greater intrigue to the idea, the implication would then be that Proletariat's Revolution would be achieve somewhere in the future or that true communism can only be achieved with the death of all of humanity.
Some influenced individuals have stated that Karl Marx lives on inside of RPC-XXX as an artificial intelligence, but preliminary testing has revealed no presence of an AI.
Move this to the previous paragraph
Suggest Change: Make this a footnote in addition to merging it with the previous paragraph.
Influenced individuals will attempt to proselytize any individual regardless of their political ideology or sentiments towards the affected individuals ideology.
Suggest Change:regardless of their prior political ideology or sentiments held towards Computational Marxism.
The entire Algerian Free Society Army were beginning to form a cult around RPC-XXX

Through undercover Authority agents disguised as Free Society Army militants, the Free Society Army had obtained a small amount of military vehicles such as 3 BMP-3's and 1 T-72.
This part read as though, the FSA converted the undercover agents and gain resources through it, you need to clarify this part
Deployment of MST Alpha-14("Pit-Vipers") was authorized in this mission to eliminate the Free Society Army and recover any anomalous objects in their custody.
You're repeating everything you've already said in the previous, either only talk about the approval or delete it entirely.

add a "> " right before the text to put the entire thing into a text box you should also add a line of notes on what this is.
The things I have to say about this draft is a lot more then I expected, though I think much of it has been expressed throughout the critique.
I don't like a communist utopia alternate world but it doesn't really bother me that much, and I do find myself liking the fact that you set it in Africa for once, the fact that a Communist Terran Union is secretly funding communist group might prove to be an interesting idea if it gets further expansion in the future.
Oh and fix up the LO numbering now that you left LO-213 spot empty.
I forgot to clarify this, but the world that RPC-XXX came from isn't really a utopia, but more so an artificial one that is very fragile, but thanks for the criticism.
RPC-XXX is to be contained in the Mechanical Hazards Wing of Site-322-A
Unless there's a specific reason you've chosen this site designation, such as a plan for future anomalies to be there or such, I'd recommend going with a smaller number, and no subsection.
RPC-XXX is a red scientific calculator
I'd mention a specific model of scientific calculator that it most resembles, especially with the mention of the ability to install other apps into it
"Volkov Industries Scientific Revolutionary Calculator"
Not a necessary change but I think it'd be a nice touch if at some point, even after the completion of the article, you get somebody to translate this to its equivalent in russian and have the english title be a footnote
The screen of the calculator is made up of a high impact resistant crystalline substance that protects the computer display screen from any sort of physical impact.
Firstly, remove the redundancy. secondly, I'd have the screen be made from pDCPD which is impact resistant, scratch resistant and resistant to intense temperatures, and would be more effective than a crystal screen.
Furthermore, RPC-XXX has also shown an ability to interface with any mechanical or electronic device. The process for this is currently unknown and not yet fully understood.
Remove the redundancy
RPC-XXX has a processing speed of 55 petaflops and is making it capable of faster calculations than normal calculators.
Further testing with RPC-XXX has revealed that RPC-XXX can install a number of different software extensions on its hardware to substantially enhance its preexisting features
I don't know how any software extension is going to make the features of a calculator that runs at an astronomical speed be substantially enhanced
Those that are a part of a cargo cult will possess an immense amount of mathematical knowledge regardless of prior education.
I don't even know what you're trying to say here.
Computational Marxism, as explained from interrogations of affected individuals,
they see it as a task to bring about a worldwide worker's revolution called a Proletariat's Revolution.
Honestly saying the revolution would be called the proletariat's revolution just sounds silly. It's just another term for the working class so you're just saying "its a worker's revolution called the working class's revolution"
number of casualties would be somewhere between 500 million to 4 billion.3
I think you misplaced your footnote here
Those that refuse are promptly labelled as "counter-revolutionaries" and are usually subjected to physical reprisals that often lead to death.
I'd mention that this only takes place in a community of mostly infected individuals, as I doubt most of the individual computational marxists are gonna be able to kill people for not converting
Eventually, RPC-XXX was tracked down by Authority undercover agents in the Algerian Free Society Army in 1987
Also, move your 4th footnote to the first mention of the Algerian Free Society Army
News about this information was quickly intercepted and amnestics were deployed to Algeria
I think they usually deploy the amnestics after they neutralize whatever anomaly is in the area since they wouldn't know its capabilities until that point
On June 1st, 1987. 500 militia members of the Algerian Free Society Army would come into possession of RPC-XXX through black market connections. The anomalous effects of RPC-XXX began to manifest around 3 weeks into June and the Algerian Free Society Army attempted to capture the city of ██████████. Residents of the town were either proselytized by the anomalous ideology, but those who resisted the attempt were executed in the middle of the city.
By seizing a local Algerian army base through the use of using the town citizens as expendable personnel, the Algerian Free Society Army were able to commandeer one T-72 tank and 2 BMP-3's through a relatively larger number advantage. With the acquirement of armored vehicles, the FSA would begin to conscript some members of the local populace to resist against local law enforcement
I appreciate the level of detail here, but almost all of this doesn't matter to the actual anomaly or the recovery of it. (Not to mention the fact that the Authority likely would have no way of knowing most of this other than maybe interviewing some of the people involved) If you want to talk about them taking over the town and such, have them use some advanced trajectory calculations or something else related to the calculator. This feels like I'm reading a history essay where the student was below the word minimum so they made everything as detailed as they could to get to it.
Deployment of MST Alpha-14("Pit-Vipers") was authorized in the mission to eliminate the Free Society Army and recover any anomalous objects in their custody. MST Alpha-14 was able to eliminate most of the Free Society Army members that were occupying ██████████ at the time with only 2 casualties which were the result of the Infantry Fighting Vehicles and the Main Battle Tank in their possession.
To counteract this, MST Alpha-14 Sergeant Ismad █████ and several anti-tank team members were able to eliminate the armored vehicles by use of attaching C4 to the tanks by maneuvering around the tank crew's line of sight. Eventually, MST Alpha-14 would move towards the central banking where they would discover RPC-XXX.
I think the first sentence of your 2nd paragraph needs to be edited since it's addressing an event that was likely cut. Either way, there's a lot of pointless detail. Unless the battle tactics are relevant to the anomaly and its capabilities there's no point.
MST Alpha-14 were able to eliminate Free Society Army cult militants inside of the bank and were able to rescue all of the hostages held within the bank. Seven lesser anomalous items were recovered in their rescuing of hostages from the Free Society Army cargo cult. A substantial portion of those items were transported to different sites around the world to be analyzed and contained.
Members of the Algerian Free Society Army had created a shrine made up of a number of different historical communist individuals dedicated towards RPC-XXX. It is unknown what occurred inside of the vault, but Alpha-14 were able to secure and contain RPC-XXX by powering it down along with seven other anomalous objects.
A convoy reached the bank and the citizens of ██████████ were amnesticized and delivered back to their homes with the false story that they were rescued from a hostage crisis by Algerian special forces. RPC-XXX would be placed into Site-233 [<— fix site number] in the Mechanical Hazards wing and the mission concluded.
Final paragraph is fine, but you should replace some of the periods with exclamation points and add some more insults for the Authority and Nucorp.
CRITS!!!
RPC-XXX is to be contained in the Mechanical Hazards Wing of Site-32, in a high-security containment vault accessible only by a level 4 key card with a built-in RFID chip.
I could be wrong, but isn't it "Site-032"?
Influenced individuals will claim that the calculator has shown them various calculations that show that Affected individuals will believe in a sub-sect of Marxist-Leninist ideology that has been described as Computational Marxism by influenced individuals.
*has shown them various calculations that show affected individuals…
That's all the errors I was able to find, very nice article. And I love the idea of a communist calculator, it's really funny, but can also be pretty creepy. Everything is very well put together, and can easily be understood. Very nice!

Btw, what does this even mean? Does it have pre-made formats for said equations or someting? Because as long as you can put it on numbers, you can solve it on a calculator, regardless of what the equation is about
Furthermore, RPC-334 has also shown an ability to interface with any mechanical or electronic device

As described from interrogations with affected individuals, the revolution involves an overthrow of all existing governments through the use of armed partisans from different countries.
Repeated sentence from the last paragraph at the start, also, you are talking about "the revolution" as if it was something you already explained. What revolution? What is it about? And why?
Calculations from affected individuals have given that the number of casualties would be somewhere between 500 million to 4 billion.
What do you mean by this? Can affected individuals make computer-like calculation? Are they using RPC-334? Also that looks more like a wild guess than any solid math.
Affected individuals state that certain mathematical equations, theorems and formulas acquired through the anomaly are evidence in favor of a global communist regime under the rule of RPC-334. These individuals unanimously see a violent revolution against world-wide governments as the preferred course of action, followed by forcible redistribution of wealth. The wealthy are to submit to this process or be designated for execution.
This looks like it would belong before the previous paragraph tbh. Also, the idea of a worldwide worker revolution sounds more like Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution than anything of Marx.
Those that refuse are promptly labelled as "counter-revolutionaries"
Isn't the Soviet/Communist way to say this "vrag naroda" aka "enemy of the nation/people/labourers/proletariat/workers"?
Eventually, RPC-334 was tracked down by Authority undercover agents in the Algerian Free Society Army
What do you mean with "eventually"? Did they know of the anomaly before they gopt their hands into this? You could also say "RPC-334 was first documented by Authority…"
News about this information was quickly intercepted and amnestics were deployed to Algeria
Deployed to Algeria in what way? Did they just gave amnestics to every person in Algeria?

Recovered Text Document 334-16: The World Socialist Fair
Where does this come from? How did they get this text?
Final Review:
This was messy, it looks like every single concept regarding the anomaly was thrown into the description without much coherency or care for their structure, it tries to explain a little of a lot of thing but ends up explaining nothing of anything.
It was really confusing to read tbh. Idk what could be done to get it all fixed on aside from trying to make the description of what it does make sense by maybe expanding on some of the ideas with examples and cutting on what is really non-relevant information like:
Furthermore, RPC-334 has also shown an ability to interface with any mechanical or electronic device. The process for this is currently unknown and is currently being studied
Which is just mentioned once and never appears again in the article
