DescriptionTermination: SCP-CN-3350 is this document. SCP-CN-3350 was uploaded to the Department of Surrealistics database on April 6, 2024. SCP-CN-3350 was written by me.
The concept of surrealistics was proposed in 1998 by Edgar Dirac, and its theoretical basis was established in 2004. In 2010, the Department of Surrealistics was established, with Xia Yunqiu as its Director.
The Department of Surrealistics is intended to contain a series of anomalies that humans are incapable of understanding or expressing. The fact that these anomalies cannot be understood means that there is no way to establish any effective containment procedures. In order to contain surrealistic anomalies, the Foundation has produced agnostics, which when consumed allow one's consciousness to temporarily ascend into the surreal plane and understand the concepts within. The process of coming to understand these concepts also breaks through the shells of surrealistic entities, causing them to fall under the purview of human cognition and allowing them to be contained.
The usual process of containing surrealistic anomalies is to first have personnel consume agnostics, then to wait for them to come to understand the anomaly. Then, within the agnostics' effective period, documentation for the object is written (i.e. an analysis). This process typically completely destroys the object's shell; at this point, containment procedures can be established in accordance with the anomaly's properties. The effects of the agnostics will then cause these documents to become incomprehensible to ordinary personnel; however, the containment of the object will at this point be complete. As such, the document remains only for reference, and agnostics are still required for a complete understanding of the object.
The Department of Surrealistics' headquarters are located in Site-⌘; the symbol ⌘ refers to the MacOS "Command" key. Site-⌘ is located in the center of a surrealistic space, and is surrounded by a layer of incomprehensible concepts, which is equivalent in effect to the surrealistic shell in that it prevents knowledge of concepts related to the Department of Surrealistics from being discovered or understood by any other sapient entity. This is in order to prevent surreal attacks.
As a direct result of SCP-CN-3350, the Surrealistics Department has ceased to exist.
