Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard safe-class item locker. Tests exclusively involving SCP-XXXX can be carried out with permission from any Level 2 researcher.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be placed inside SCP-XXXX as soon as possible. Tests involving SCP-XXXX-A are to last no more that 1 minute, and are not to involve multiple instances of SCP-XXXX-A. Instances of SCP-XXXX-A with fewer than 12 digits are considered unsafe for testing. In the event that an SCP-XXXX-A instance is drawn with fewer than 12 digits, it is to be place back within SCP-XXXX immediately, regardless of test scenarios.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a medium-sized pouch, roughly the size of a basketball, with a bold stylized ℕ emblazoned on one side. SCP-XXXX is light brown in coloration, similar to tanned leather. SCP-XXXX has been described as feeling lumpy when held, though no visual indication of lumps is present. All attempts at numerical measurements on SCP-XXXX are unsuccessful, resulting in the measuring device used presenting invalid, illegible data. This applies even if the device is being read by a human, as is the case for a standard ruler. As such, precise measurements of SCP-XXXX are nearly impossible to create. Non-numerical measurements, such as descriptions of relative size, colour, and iconography, are unaffected.
Individuals holding SCP-XXXX demonstrate a distinct understanding of mathematics. Individuals are capable of understanding natural numbers (the set of non-negative integers), regardless of previous mathematical training. This understanding includes the ability to quickly add, and multiply any pair of natural numbers. As well, subjects can subtract and divide with incredible speed as well, so long as the result is a natural number. Attempts at arithmetic involving non-natural numbers rely upon the subjects prior education level. This effect ceases when the subject lets go of SCP-XXXX
Reaching into SCP-XXXX reveals its primary anomalous property. Contained within SCP-XXXX is a space filled with instances of SCP-XXXX-A. This space continues far beyond the confines of SCP-XXXX’s external form; to date, no boundaries have been found. SCP-XXXX-A refers to small blue spheres labeled with a series of digits. All numerical measurements of SCP-XXXX-A result in the given aspect being measured as the series of digits. Given that this occurs regardless of unit, this is assumed to be false. Instances of SCP-XXXX-A can be firmly grasped within the palm of the average adult.
Removing an instance of SCP-XXXX-A from SCP-XXXX will result in an instantaneous anti-memetic effect wherein the majority of humans are incapable of recognizing the series of digits on the SCP-XXXX-A instance as a number. The only known exception to this is any humans making physical contact with the SCP-XXXX-A instance. Attempts to perform mathematical operations that would result in this series of digits result in the subjects claiming that those specific problems are impossible, and provide no actual solution. Attempts at calculations involving the negative version of the series of digits, or fractions with the series of digits as either the numerator or the denominator, show no issues. Placing SCP-XXXX-A back into SCP-XXXX has been shown to immediately reverse the effects. This effect also manifests in some computer programs - specifically, those using unsigned integers for the relevant calculations will return "Not a Number".
Discovery Log: On 3/14/20██, multiple students at ███████ University reported that their Philosphy teacher, a Ms. A████ L██████, was claiming to have found proof of Mathematical Platonism. To demonstrate this claim, she held up a small blue cube with a symbol on it. Ms. L██████ demonstrated confusion when the class failed to recognize the symbol, and reportedly made multiple requests for students to answer impossible math questions. One student posted a video, recorded from his phone, showing Ms. L██████ asking these questions. Shortly after this was posted, the students involved began expressing cofusion, as the questions had all been extremely simple. This behavior led to suspicions of a memetic effect, prompting the Foundation to initiate a raid on Ms. L██████’s home.
Within the house, MTF-███ discovered SCP-XXXX, along with four SCP-XXXX-A instances. None of these were the instance seen within the video. Upon learning of the contents of SCP-XXXX, all four instances were placed within. No other instances of SCP-XXXX-A are believed to exist outside of SCP-XXXX at this time. Ms L██████ was unable to be located, and is to be detained upon her discovery. All students in her class have been amnestized, and all traces of the event have been scrubbed from the internet. Claims that the video were scripted have been spread around; given that the effects had ceased by the time the video was uploaded, it is believed that this is sufficient to prevent research into the event and discovery of the anomaly.
Item #: SCP-P4R7Y-J
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-P4R7Y-J's anomalous properties only manifest on January 29th. As such, containment is unnecessary for the remainder of the year. However, no known measures are capable of containing SCP-P4R7Y-J on January 29th; as such, efforts should be directed towards minimizing the consequences of SCP-P4R7Y-J.
Discussion of SCP-P4R7Y-J's anomalous properties with instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 are prohibited. Discussion of SCP-P4R7Y-J's anomalous properties with instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J-1 are allowed, but generally discouraged, as inquiry into SCP-P4R7Y-J has been known to turn SCP-P4R7Y-J-1 into SCP-P4R7Y-J-2.
All research into SCP-P4R7Y-J is to be performed by Researcher Jonathan Livingstone and immediate relatives of Researcher Livingstone
Description SCP-P4R7Y-J is a two-stage anti-meme surrounding Researcher Livingstone's birthday, January 29th. This anti-meme has infected all those who Researcher Livingstone considers to be friends, with strength proportional to both physical proximity to Researcher Livingstone. Researcher Livingstone's immediate family seems to be immune to this effect, with the notable exception of his older sister, A████ Livingstone. The following two stages of SCP-P4R7Y-J infection have been noted:
SCP-P4R7Y-J-1: Most individuals infected with SCP-P4R7Y-J are unaware that January 29th is Researcher Livingstone's birthday. Upon being informed of this fact, SCP-P4R7Y-J-1 will behave normally, wishing Researcher Livingstone a happy birthday. Note that this does not cure the individual of SCP-P4R7Y-J. Upon being informed of SCP-P4R7Y-J, SCP-P4R7Y-J-1 will express skepticism in the idea that it is actually an anomaly, claiming that they personal just "forgot" about Researcher Livingstone's birthday. This seems to occur regardless of how well SCP-P4R7Y-J-1 and Researcher Livingstone know each other. No instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J have been found in Site 41, where Researcher Livingstone works. SCP-P4R7Y-J-1 will progress to SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 shortly after contact with an instance of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2, regardless of the method of contact.
SCP-P4R7Y-J-2: All individuals infected with SCP-P4R7Y-J at Site 41 are considered instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2. SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 instances display similar effects to SCP-P4R7Y-J-1 under normal circumstances, and are unaware that January 29th is Researcher Livingstone's birthday. This is *despite* the fact that all members of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 are on regular doses of Class-W mnestics, and the fact that Researcher Livingstone made numerous allusions to his upcoming birthday during the week preceding it.
When confronted with the fact that January 29th is Researcher Livingstone's birthday, SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 instances have varied reactions. Some ignore the information outright, while others seem to exhibit recognition of this fact before quickly forgetting it. It is believe that this is a consequence of the anti-meme redacting the information in real time. Allusions to the fact that January 29th is Researcher Livingstone's birthday will be met with the same response.
When confronted with the anomalous properties of SCP-P4R7Y-J, instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 tend to become anxious, and quickly end conversation. Limited reconnaissance efforts reveal that this is to inform other instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 that Researcher Livingstone is suspicious about SCP-P4R7Y-J. This is believed to be a defense mechanism. The possibility of commanding instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J, designated SCP-P4R7Y-J-3, is under investigation, though if they do exist, their behavior is likely identical to that of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 while in the presence of Researcher Livingstone.
Discovery Log: SCP-P4R7Y-J was initially discovered on January 29th, 2019. Researcher Livingstone entered Site 41 at 8:30 AM and went to his desk, passing by approximately 20 instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2. None of these instances commented on Researcher Livingstone's birthday. At 10:00 AM, after a further lack of comment, Researcher Livingstone asked one of his co-workers, Researcher F█████, if "there was anything special about today". Upon refusal to pick up on Researcher Livingstone's hints, it was mentioned that today was Researcher Livingstone's birthday. Researcher F█████ reacted nervously, claiming to have forgotten, resulting in Researcher Livingstone performing more in depth research into SCP-P4R7Y-J, and discovering the information contained within this log.
Addendum 1: At 3:00 PM on January 29th, 2019, three instances of SCP-P4R7Y-J-2 came to Researcher Livingstone's workstation and requested his presence in the cafeteria. Given that this may be an attempt to infect Researcher Livingstone with SCP-P4R7Y-J, a record of this information is being made before following through with the request. If there is no further information in this record, assume that SCP-P4R7Y-J has overcome whatever biological resistance Researcher Livingstone possesses, and that he is now infected.
Addendum 2:
Memo to all staff at Site 41:
We work frequently with anomalous anti-memes. Self-keeping secrets are a part of our job. Naturally, this requires a level of suspicion on the part of all of our agents to ensure that we don't fall prey to the memes we try to keep. We all know there are anti-memes that can overpower Class-W mnestics, so we can't just rely upon our pills to keep us safe.
That being said, please try to avoid making the situation worse than it is by avoiding the creation of non-anomalous anti-memes. While a certain level of secrecy is part of the Foundation's standard operating procedure, try to use common sense and avoid keeping unnecessary secrets.
On that note, going forwards, Site 41 will be upholding a ban on surprise parties. They are a non-anomalous anti-meme that is only kept from a single person. This makes them ripe for paranoid actions. We do not need a repeat of Researcher Livingstone entering the cafeteria with his gun drawn and aiming it at everyone present. If you want to throw someone a party, just let them know about it before hand, and save everyone a headache.
