I really like this concept! It's well-explained, scientifically plausible, and honestly I might just start using it in my articles.

There's only one problem, namely that it conflicts with the concept of Taylor readings introduced in RPC-998. :P

It's scientifically solid enough (as a writing concept) to be usable in fiction without being too bogged down in minutiae. Nice piece.

Will add this system to 689 eventually.

Eventually.

This is actually surprising useful for an RPC I am working on that makes use of destabilized reality pockets. Great work on this. This page is fantastic. Some have said it is too similar to Humes from SCP, but it is different enough for me. There is nothing wrong with treading over old ground when that ground is extremely fertile.

Putting this page under the research division theme looks terrible imo. I think it should be reverted.

Von Pincier 03 Jan 2019 01:07

Hmmmm. I can understand why it is Research Division, though. It makes sense in-universe, at least.

I think it is unnecessary. It would also make sense to put every single article under the containment division theme but that would be a bit much for most people, I think.

Anyway, I am probably just grouchy because I think the division themes could use an overhaul. I am hoping to do make some rework proposals for them at some point.

how can imagining a reality more consistent than their own be difficult for an organization that regularly deals with anomalies that are inconsistent with reality¹? Just imagine a world where there there aren't any anomalies; a world where the facade they're mantaining for the populous isn't a facade

Footnotes

1. the word "anomaly" literally means "something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected."

I very much like the clinical tone of this. It reads credibly scientific and now I want to know what "The Deep" is and why we can't go there.

I very much like the clinical tone of this. It reads credibly scientific… and now I want to know more about why "The Deep" is off limits to us.

4/5 overall

3/5 premise. I dislike the assumption of "alternate realities" with relation to rpcs.
5/5 delivery.
5/5 grammar. Made it sound interesting though.

Article presents a well-constructed system about a exclusively theoretical subject clearly and concisely. I have a hard time visualizing how it could be use in reality-affecting and not reality-transcending articles.

4/5
