Nothing is more free than the imagination of man; and though it cannot exceed that original stock of ideas furnished by the internal and external senses, it has unlimited power of mixing, compounding, separating, and dividing these ideas, in all the varieties of fiction and vision. It can feign a train of events, with all the appearance of reality, ascribe to them a particular time and place, conceive them as existent, and paint them out to itself with every circumstance, that belongs to any historical fact, which it believes with the greatest certainty. Wherein, therefore, consists the difference between such a fiction and belief?

Item #: SCP-6000
Object Class: Apollyon/Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6000-A are to be constructed and positioned at…..
Description: SCP-6000 is a phenomenon discovered in 1947 (See Addendum 6000-1) where all human beings exert a minor reality bending property????
SCP-6000-1 are a series of supercomputers designed by Dr. [REDACTED] Scranton capable of the mass simulation of millions of copies of human consciousnesses at a time. Every SCP-6000-1 instance is to be constantly fed information from an external database of all non-anomalous scientific knowledge ([REDACTED]), including information regarding physics, biology, history, chemistry, and psychology. Every 6000-1 instance must be constantly monitored to ensure peak efficiency.
In order to maintain the functionality of SCP-6000-1, all information regarding it and every part of it is only accessable by (individual access?).
SCP-6000-1 is a device developed by Dr. [REDACTED] Scranton designed to reduce the Hume level of the local environment. 6000-1 is constructed largely of [REDACTED], a corrosion-resistant beryllium bronze alloy, [REDACTED]. Each 6000-1 instance's function must be checked semi-annually to ensure peak performance. Technicians servicing SCP-6000-1 components may reference Document 6001-1-033.
Researcher Note: The mechanism of SCP-6000-1's function and the source of its inspiration must be kept secret from [REDACTED]. Only qualified Level-6/6000 maintenance technicians have been cleared to access this documentation. {REDACT}If any member of SCP-6000 staff reveals to you that they are a Level-6/6000 maintenance technician, please report them to O5 Command so they can be reassigned and submitted to amnestic therapy immediately. This is not a punishment; it is a legitimate safety concern. If these devices are ever compromised, so too is [REDACTED].

SCP-6000 is a form of radiation produced by SCP-6000-0 (See Document [REDACTED]) that causes epistemological phenomena influenced by the perception and conscious thought of SCP-6000-0 instances.
SCP-6000 is an epistemological phenomenon first documented in 1940 in which
