I need to meet people/creatures that are like obsessively into pseudo-science in fiction!

Like you need to absolutely know everything there is to know about this system of science that doesn't exist and has no application irl just cuz you REALLY like this thing. And you need to 100% understand it from every angle across like 4-spacial axis and how it relates to other in-universe phenomenon cuz u that kind of tism creature.

If it was a real science, you'd have a PhD in it

Small Pataphysics ramble

In the second episode of Admonition, AKA SCP-6747, there is a section written by Placeholder under Addendum 6474/I that serves as a sort of introduction to Pataphysics and several of its key concepts. Particularly, this section is very interesting to me

At first, the very obvious statement one can glean is that our world (the world of the author-entities) described is in itself partly fictional and has a higher dimension above it. In rebuttal to that, a person more familiar with the SCP wiki might bring up the existence of SCP-5500. Certainly, while SCP-5500 is said to be occurring within the “real world”, nothing like it actually happened IRL so perhaps there are reality-spaces that exist in between our universe and the SCP multiverse.

However the more interesting implication in this section comes in the form of the “narrative dimensions” described. Three types of realities are described in terms of narrative dimensions here: a 1D world (with one fictional dimension), a 2D world (the SCP world) (with one fictional dimension and one real dimension) and a 3D world (with two real dimensions and one fictional dimension).

The implication here is obvious, and while it may just be my interpretation I find it to be more interesting then the alternative, and that is that every single reality-space has atleast one fictional dimension and thus partly fictional. That POTENTIALLY, there is an infinite string of realities stacked on top of each other all of them fictional in small ways. And that includes us, our reality.

This is perhaps one of the biggest reasons why I love Pataphysics in SCP works and why it manages to set itself apart from all other sort of metafictional works. There is of course the scientific way the information is processed and presented but the way authors manage to explore certain themes and theories and philosophy in such a beautifully clinical way.

One thing that a lot of metafiction or self-referential fiction tends to not dwell upon is, how do WE know we’re not fictional? Or atleast partly fictional? How do we know there isn’t some higher layer of gods influencing us simply using their imagination. This small section manages to ask that question but instead of it being a question or the questioner even being us: it’s a fictional personal in a layer below us telling us the answer. Yes, I am fictional but so are you.

This section is not the focus of the article at all, simply being an explanation of how Pataphysics work to supplement the actual focus of the article (which you should go read for yourself by the way it’s really good.) but it is still really chilling. These thoughts are probably not original and have probably been talked about before but I just wanted to ramble a bit and neither Twitter or Discord has the proper word count so. :p

going through the ADMONITION scp series and

alright i went through the second one - and i am left wondering what i've even just read. not only because it feels like the language itself is a logical puzzle to solve just to conceptualise - but also the

okay well i'll just say the ending

did find myself going "how the fuck do you think this is a good idea" which is pretty fitting for ADMONITION

now im wondering what the hell i'm in for for the rest of this
