Item No.:
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
The object requires no special containment procedures and can be safely stored indefinitely in a standard format Foundation lockbox- However, due to the object's cognitohazardous effects and potential for misuse, access is to be granted at the discretion of Lead Researcher ….. only.
Description:
The object appears to be a regular six-sided die made in ivory, with dimensions of 2cmx2cmx2cm and bearing the usual number of pips on each face. X-ray inspection of the interior of the object reveals the presence of a small replica of a human heart fashioned in the shape of an anatomically correct human heart, made from a dense x-ray opaque material believed to be gold. Despite the inhomogeneity of the internal structure, experimentally the centre of mass of the die appears to coincide with the geometric centre of the object and it displays the normal dynamical properties of a non-anomalous cube- excepting its behaviour when thrown.
When thrown, the die will roll normally for a short time before stopping on one point for 6.0 seconds, where it will spin about an upright axis. When the item was first taken into custody by the foundation this rotation was so slow as to be unnoticeable, but with repeated tests the speed of rotation has increased near-exponentially to those in excess of █████rpm. Following this motion the die will unfailingly land with the side displaying 6 pips facing upwards; This occurs despite there being no apparent mechanism by which it could be rigged, and has occurred in every one of the 5,000 tests of this property of the item (footnote: Probability of this occurring by sheer chance).
In 83% of throws of the item, it demostrates a cognitohazardous effect. The test subject reports mild disorientation at the moment that the die lands, and after the fact will report discrepancies between the outcome of certain events in their memory compared to objective reality and the accounts of others. The memories affected relate to events contingent on probability, such as coin flips, rolls of non-anomalous dice etc. along with any consequences of such events. Furthermore the speed of rotation of the object during its standing-on-point phase increases by a factor of 6.0 following the manifestation of these effects.
