SCP-9630

This page cannot exist.

This page may have been moved or deleted; however, our assessment is that it ontologically cannot exist. Pages may have rendered their own existence impossible for a number of reasons: They may have offended their authors, glimpsed at antithesis, or they may have reached the conceptual instability threshold, which presently stands at 12% of core concepts, 50% of Foundational concepts, or 27% of narrative concepts.

You may look through the Collapse Log (available upon request, from any Goldbaker & Reinz Provider with multiversal capabilities) if you are looking for a particular page that cannot exist.

If you want to recreate a page, ensure you possess ORACLE-class conceptual shielding, and have taken the necessary precautions to prevent inter-universal conceptual diffusion.

If you are ready to proceed, then you may recreate the page.

Eight days to conceptospheric collapse.

SACRIFICIAL CONTINGENCY PLAN: SCP-9630 is uncontainable, and will bring about the end of this iteration's universe by 03/03/2023, via a εK-class ("End-Of-Conceptosphere") Scenario. As such, per Ethics Committee Ruling 512.22.35, PROJECT ECHO has been initiated. All available resources, pursuant to their accessibility as evaluated by Transportation & Logistics, are dedicated to this project. Site-512, as the only Foundation Site in the stable geographically-bound conceptosphere of the Sunda Plate, is to faciliate the project as far as they are able.

Maintenance of the Veil is unnecessary, owing to the nature of the anomaly.

DESCRIPTION: SCP-9630 refers to the accelerating entropic process affecting this iteration's conceptosphere. Extrauniversal and local prophetic accounts refer to this anomaly as, variously, the "Devourer of Concepts", "Abaddon", "The Endbringer", "Leviathan", and "The Heat Death". Foundation researchers specialising in Metaphysics conclude, almost universally, that SCP-9630 is the metastructural concept of non-existence.

Through a predative process, SCP-9630 incorporates concepts into its own metastructure, destabilising the larger conceptosphere; this incorporation isolates concepts, causing them to perceptually "disappear" from the universe.

SCP-9630 displays both malevolence and intelligence, and appears to be proceeding via chains of concepts to prevent the successful completion of PROJECT ECHO. To this end, it appears to specifically target concepts functionally required by the Foundation.

SCP-9630 was first identified by the Department of Disappearances, via observation of an absent intuitive well-ordering of emotions, despite circumstantial evidence pointing to its existence. Further investigation revealed a dramatic decrease in universal conceptual complexity, at which point the issue was forwarded to O5 Command. The Foundation observed several further related incidents, leading to the current situation.

Additional historical information and details of PROJECT ECHO are found in the ADDENDA.

ADDENDUM 9630.I: Event Log

INCIDENT 9630-I
DATE: 13/02/2023
SUMMARY: SCP-179 looks directly upwards. Her markings disappear. She drifts into the sun.

INCIDENT 9630-II
DATE: 15/02/2023
SUMMARY: The local iteration of Goldbaker & Reinz declares pre-emptive insolvency. Foundation attempts to contact Marshall, Carter & Dark for information prove futile.

INCIDENT 9630-III
DATE: 16/02/2023
SUMMARY: The following note is found placed over the entrance of all Foundation and Global Occult Coalition Facilities: Not all thing can be saved. But all things can be remembered. You, too, will not be forgotten. - Pangloss

INCIDENT 9630-IV
DATE: 18/02/2023
SUMMARY: The dimensional aperture on the dark side of the moon has disappeared. All contact between the Foundation and the Three Moons Initiative ceases.

INCIDENT 9630-V
DATE: 20/02/2023
SUMMARY: The ]Department of Disappearances does not exist.

INCIDENT 9630-VI
DATE: 21/02/2023
SUMMARY: The larger Foundation loses contact with Site-17 and Site-19. The global conceptosphere shatters along tectonic plate boundaries. The North American Plate's conceptosphere further shatters into three. Massive earthquakes (ranging from 6.0-9.4 on the Richter scale) erupt across the North American continent. Communications between SCP-4568-1 and -2, which had been rapidly increasing up to this point, cease.

ADDENDUM 9630.II: Overview of PROJECT ECHO

PROJECT ECHO

HQ, SITE-512

COMMISSIONED BY: O5 Council

SUPERVISED BY: O5-4

17/02/23
Bruno van Rijn
Director, Site-512

Overview: PROJECT ECHO is the proposed final action of this iteration of the Foundation. Employees without sufficient clearance have been informed this project aims to counteract the phenomenon caused by SCP-9630; however, given the evident inevitability of the collapse of the global conceptosphere, it is necessary to avoid further attempts at preserving this iteration, and instead aim to forewarn other iterations.

As such, the end goal of this project is the successful construction of an eigenmachine capable of propagating the documentation this iteration has collected to any potential extradimensional or extrauniversal entities. This will be delivered via a "Temporal Reboot"-standard ritual.

The proposed eigenmachine will operate via a temporally retroductive thaumaturgical effect. Through careful manipulation of conditions in a controlled environment, trapping relevant data in anomalous energy pulses, and injection of ambichronological materials at controlled intervals, a ritual may be produced such that the only conditions that could result in the present state are equal to conditions that have already sent a warning (with all necessary data) to adjacent timeplanes, thus averting this disaster before it began. It is our hope that careful study of this iteration's historical logs may allow other iterations to circumvent the anomaly.

The activation date is scheduled for 27/02/23. The signal will have triggered on 13/02/23. The resultant retrocausal quanta will build up and result in a ZK-Class temporal paradox on 13/03/23, and hence can be disregarded.

ADDENDUM 9630.III: Additional speculation regarding SCP-9630

It is one day before the activation, but my concerns have driven me to edit this file.

Already, there are holes in this file, emptiness we cannot parse or understand. The world is wavering, but we do not notice, save an odd feeling that something has gone wrong. Even as I type this, I feel part of me itching to insert a word that no longer exists, a turn of phrase rendered meaningless by the anomaly, like a tongue finding an unexpected gap in teeth.

It is, perhaps, hubristic to think we can worm our way out of this mess, be it in this iteration or any other. But what I am even more concerned by is SCP-9630 itself. Most agree it is the construct of non-existence, but none can explain how it arose, or its seeming intelligence. Nor why it chose our iteration to target.

It is my fear that SCP-9630 is, essentially, a parasite, hopping along the tracks made when concepts diffuse outwards and inwards. If so, how much danger might our attempt cause? Are we doing the right thing? Is the anomaly preventing our completion, or chasing us towards it?

It is impossible to halt it now. There is still a chance this attempt works; abandoning it will only lead to further despair in these last days. But what if this dooms us all? What if the only reason our attempt has not failed is because the anomaly wills it?

I enclose this at the end of the file, which was, is, and will be the last of the innumerable dispersed in our attempt, such that whoever finds this knows: we tried our best to evade the hunter, but we have only made it angry. We hope this will aid your own attempt at escape.

I convey this iteration's deepest apologies if we are in error.
