Hello there! My name is Billith, and if you are reading this, you've either lost a bet or have stumbled upon my technical classifications and logos page. You can find lots of neat ideas and information here, but it isn't all purely of my own creation! I credit
EstrellaYoshte for a good portion of the base department and hazard logos which I have remixed in a way that I feel is aesthetically pleasing. Your mileage may vary, and you can check out Estrella's artdesk here. I give credit where credit is due throughout this document. If you want to use something in particular, feel free! A good chunk of this has not been utilized yet, and I have linked articles to content that has already been introduced to the Wiki if you need a reference. You may notice new content here on occasion as I develop more of the concepts and logos or implement them into articles down the line. I hope you enjoy perusing!
Have ideas, questions, or general thoughts? Want to expand on something you see below? Put it in the comments :) I will happily include it and credit you if it gels with any of my ideas.
Don't forget to open images in a new tab/window to see them at full size :) Hovering over the pictures should help magnify them a bit.

Connection Types are unique to the Theoretical Anomalies Department and are used to properly define anomalies that may not or cannot be proven to exist, or are presumed to exist only through observation of reactions without apparent cause, experimentation or recording of large sets of data regarding the natural world.
Something can be intrinsic to reality but still containable, or interwoven with consensus reality and not a natural component of it. Thus this is a matter of specifics that the Theoretical Anomalies Department needs to utilize to properly classify theoretical SCPs.
Connection Subtypes
Used by the Theoretical Anomalies Department to better define the phenomena's relationship with consensus reality.
| Connection Type | Meaning |
| Transient | Influence on/by consensus reality is temporary or a portion of it is otherwise impermanent in some fashion. |
| Episodic | Influence fluctuates cyclically or in predictable ways. |
| Intrinsic | Influence is tightly wound into the default state of reality and has been for all of recorded history. |
| Inherited | Influence is wound into the default state of reality as the result of some effect, and has not always been in this particular configuration. |
| Negated | Influence is nullified by the presence of a third party. |
| Hidden | Exact nature of the relationship between the anomaly and consensus reality is unknown and may never be discovered. |
Containment Subtypes
Used by the Theoretical Anomalies Department to better define containment feasibility.
| Containment Subclass | Meaning |
| -Kudzu | Anomaly cannot be contained due to relationship with consensus reality. |
| -Hemlock | Anomaly is an active threat to parties attempting to contain it. |
| -Willow | Anomaly can be contained but cannot be relocated or detached from reality. |
| -Raskovnik | Anomaly's containment feasibility is not known and/or cannot be known. |

A Discourse on the Unification of Technological Canon, Vis-à-vis the Classification of Extradimensional Portals (i.e. Wormholes)
Objective: Quantify and collectively associate extradimensional portals with a grouping that assigns designations based on the practicality and creation for Foundation use and for writers as a form of canonical quantum superposition- that is to say, it both is and is not canon.
Introduction: In essence, I would like to propose a reference system by which all currently described extradimensional portals can be loosely built upon, or better understood from. This discourse will explain the designations, and give examples when appropriate. I will attempt to classify each and every wormhole that is currently written into the database (in due time), and will use this system to organize portals in a hierarchy based on their efficiency as a form of transfer of matter, use in containment procedures (a la Scranton Reality Anchor), and other ancillary tasks.
Author's Note: This essay uses several already established pseudo-canonical aspects of the Foundation universe and therefore can ultimately be implemented into works if one so chooses. These designations are mostly theoretical and subject to change or edits.
Class-A: "Relativistic Integrity" Wormholes
Class-A Wormholes are of prime suitability for Foundation traversal. They encompass all theoretical regions of folded spacetime that can be assumed using standard models of relative physics and are traversable with and without the typical challenges that come with attempting to do so- topological issues, gravitational forces, etc.
This includes naturally occurring wormholes wherein the quantum field can be stabilized to the point of allowing free-flow of aether. As well, anomalous regions which are highly useful to Foundation operations may fall into this category.
Class-B: "Information Superhighway" Wormholes
Class-B Wormholes allow for transportation of matter into stored information1. This process can be used to create tangible network interfaces that allow for the physical interaction of data and transport to and from constructed localities.
Examples of Class-B Wormholes:
- Referenced in SCP-1549
Class-C: "Broken Entry" Wormholes
This wormhole is an unstable spacetime fold that does not transfer matter to the intended location. Its presence creates small bubble non-dimensions in its wake2 that can be detrimental if not handled properly. These wormholes are unpredictable and can eject matter from unknown locations.
Class-D: "Non-Refundable" Wormholes
Class-D wormholes are basic disposal units that lead into non-universes. These are scalar invariant curvatures of spacetime that are defined as points in space where the laws of physics and reality do not exist.3
Examples of Class-D Wormholes:
Class-E: "Momentary Lapse of Reason" Wormholes
Class-E Wormholes define the lot of extradimensional regions that cannot exist and therefore have anomalous consequences for existing or cannot be created in a way that is meaningful for the Foundation to use, even warranting classification and containment in its own right.
Examples of Class-E Wormholes:
Additional Classifications
This is the system utilized in SCP-3989, which just-so-happens to work perfectly with the above Class A-E major archetypes.
D vs S vs T- Dimensional, Spatial, Temporal
U vs S vs C vs N- Unstable, Stable, Cycling Stability, Not Known
S vs. M vs. D- Stationary, Mobile, Directed Mobility
U vs. M vs. R- Unaided, Manifested, Ritualistic
WA vs. PA vs. SA vs. AA- Wide Area, Personal Area, Small Area, Alterable Area
S vs H vs C vs U- Safe, Hazardous, Conditional, Uncertain
2 vs. 1 vs. X- 2-Way, 1-Way, Multiple Destinations
C vs. P vs. T vs. G- Cyclic, Permanent, Transient, Generated
Thanks to MegalomaniacInchworm for typing all this out!
As an example, the spacetime fold featured in my Proposal is a Class-E "Momentary Lapse of Reason" Wormhole designated S-CSMWAUC2T (Spacial, Cycling Stability, Stationary, Manifested, Wide-Area, Uncertain, Conditional Two-Way, Transient), meaning the portal bends spacetime, oscillates between stable and unstable, does not move, appeared without cause in an area it did not inhabit before, is large in diameter, has an unknown risk of harm, allows for travel in either direction if certain conditions are met, and only appears for an interval of time before disappearing again.
This system can be used to describe any of the dozens of pages tagged "portal" on the wiki. Try it!
