CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: As per Radix classification, MFSCP-1981 is contained (and maintained) via its integration into the Foundation's command structure. Covert to its alternate iterations, RCT-Δt must take all available action to assert and maintain baseline reality's status as the 'Prime-Timeline' (hereafter TL-001), including

• Drygioni-class investigation of MFSCP-1981's origin and conditions thereof (chiefly, the significance of the year 1981);
• exploration of parachronological, probabilistic, and/or pataphysical means of enforcing TL-001's 'averageness'.

Relevant personnel must undergo stringent identity verification to ensure no prior iteration of O5-9 or the Director of Temporal Anomalies is allowed to covertly (or otherwise) influence MFSCP-1981. Iterations of PoI-1780 (aka. SCP-110-1 / SCP-1780-2a) (Chairperson Dr. Thaddeus "X" Robspierre Xyank PhD. in duplicate) are the most common offender in attempting to infiltrate allied Foundations, and must be redirected to their respective timeframes where possible. Any individual constituting a potential manifestation of PoI-000 ("Administrator") is to be summarily ignored by the O9 Collective.

Baseline Overseer (O5) personnel are permitted selective access to MFSCP-1981 as it dictates; A-Class (Level 4 Clearance) personnel are permitted selective awareness of MFSCP-1981 on a need-to-know basis. The MFSCP-1981 file is stored at empty designation "SCP-XXXX" within Temporal Site-01's ORACLE-Class archive, accessible only to iterations of O5-9.

It remains the limited consensus of O5 Council-Prime that MFSCP-1981 be upheld indefinitely.

DESCRIPTION: MFSCP-1981 designates the Metafoundation Supertemporal Coalition Pact, a para-contractual agreement maintained within a variable decentralized network of alternate Foundation-like entities. Also known as the 1981 Multi-Foundation Coalition Agreement, the contract dictates, and retroactively enforces, several principles for inter-universal interaction among its Signees, and those Unsigned.

ADDENDA MATERIALS

The 1981 Multi-Foundation Coalition Agreement

Per authority of the ORACLE Collective, on behalf of all Signees' Overseeing Councils
With consultation from the Board of Reynders, on behalf of all Signees' Temporal Authorities
In cooperation with Place Holdings Ltd. and GB. & Associates

Known by various aliases, including (but not limited to): The

• Metafoundation Supertemporal Coalition Pact;
• Reynders-Reynders Chronological Metastability Compact;
• 1981 Multi-Foundation Coalition Pact/Agreement;
• Allied Foundations' Cooperative Non-Interference Treaty;
• Megacanonical Containment Contract;
• Omniversal ÓverMeta Opposition;
• Multiversal Foundation Alliance,

This contract retroactively enforces its Signees' respective universes' adherence to the following articles:

ARTICLE Ø. The Metafoundation

The Metafoundation is a covert organization of Foundations dedicated to the securing, containment, and protection of all other Foundation-like entities from MFSCP-0001 and any other metanomalous phenomena.

DESIGNATION: MFSCP-0001
CLASS: Metanomaly.An anomalous phenomenon which describes the behavior of other anomalous phenomena.

CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: MFSCP-0001 is partially contained via MFSCP-1981's retroactive enforcement clauses, and is to be further contained by any feasible, verifiably-safe means available. Potential containment vectors are under continuous study by countably-infinite research groups, each under direct supervision by corresponding members of the O9 Collective.

DESCRIPTION: MFSCP-0001 designates the apparent intended function of all known realities, the realization of various narrative universes depicting humanity's organized interaction with anomalous phenomena.

In all observable metastable causal branches:

1. There exists a complex conscious species (Humanity) capable of realizing, interpreting, and synthesizing local reality into collective understanding (the Noosphere);
2. Humanity is antagonistic to primarily extra-Noospheric phenomena (the Anomalous);
3. there exists a significantly influential (often covert) organization (a Foundation-like entity) within Humanity whose objectives are defined in relation to the Anomalous.

This suggests an underlying system which naturally generates the above conditions and/or selectively expunges incompatible narratives, represented as timeline divergence and reconvergence, respectively. Deviation from the system's prescribed story-structures exponentially generates malignant narrative energy, which heavily counteracts said deviation; where insufficient to recorrect relevant causalities, said energy will collapse timelines entirely.

Signees of this contract represent Foundations which, despite inevitable ideological and methodological differences, genuinely intend to best benefit their respective iteration of Humanity through some version of 'the mutual securing, containment, and protection of Humanity and the Anomalous'.

The Metafoundation deems MFSCP-0001 antithetical to this goal and to Humanity's ultimate objective: to comprehend all, such that nothing can be considered 'Anomalous'.

The following organizations, despite their superficial similarity to the Foundation and its goals, are barred for membership consideration within the Metafoundation:

• Shark Punching Center/Centre, Selachiosk Pungix Combin (SPC);
• Active iterations of The Department of Abnormalities;
• Man Zoo League (MZL);
• Organizations upholding nationalistic or genocidal ideals in core foundational documents;
• Organizations from the same timeline with mutually exclusive claims of being the 'sole' Foundation entity;
• Any variant of parties aforementioned.

ARTICLE 𝟙. Motivation

DISCOVERY/ORIGIN

This statement has been approved by Dr. Ilse Reynders, Director of the Temporal Anomalies Department.

following is nonclinical just to get words on the page

Traditional time-based models of reality suggest that there is only one universe but multiple timestreams in it. Conversely, multiverse-based models of reality suggest there are many parallel universes but a single timeline in each. We have come to accept that the reality appears to be composed of multiple universes, each with multiple timestreams.

Every universe has the right to self-governance. However, it is not uncommon from personnel from one universe to end up in another universe. Their attempts to restore the timeline they perceive to be correct are often catastrophic and verging on omnicidal. Furthermore the overlap of agencies with both multiverse-hopping and timeline-hopping technology has led to timelines to be entangled between universes where a ripple in one can affect another. This should be minimized to prevent cascade.

The existence of the multiverse has led to the issue of entangled causal threads.

The MetaFoundation Supertemporal Coalition Pact aims to:

• Secure universal causal strands from gross retrocausal multiversal interference;
• C
• Provide a multiversal basis to establish personnel as friendly or hostile (e.g. "Thaddeus Xyank.")

<Brief mention of thad xyank being fired/dying (ambiguous). Reynders, who had been reassigned to temporal agent the previous year, was offered a promotion to director of temporal anomalies. During her training / her first few weeks of employment she's frustrated by the immense resources wasted getting confused by / defending against alternate iterations of the temporal anomalies dept from other canons.>

ARTICLE 𝟚. Obligations under the MFSCP

SCP-XX is under regular deliberation by the ORACLE (O9) Collective, of which the Foundation's current O5-9 (Cycle █████, A█████ M██████) is the purported founder and central authority.

Consensus thereafter is disseminated to the current Director of Temporal Anomalies (Dir. Dr. Ilse Reynders, PhD. in hexadecuplicate), who must then take appropriate action to ensure the Foundation is compliant with SCP-XX.

Compliance entails:

• Limiting transmission of matter and personnel to other MFSCP timelines.

Define the roles of all parties to the agreement, localized for the Prime Timeline:

O9 Collective

Local representative: O5-9
(You guys fill this in for your meta plot)

O5 Council

Local representative: Factotum of O5-9

• Local governing authority

Department of Extra-Universal Affairs

Local representative: Trevor Bailey

• Documentation of universe-specific informational documents;
• Negotiate trade of scarce local material;

RCT-Δt: Temporal Anomalies Department

Local representative: Ilse Reynders
RCT-Δt is Universe-Prime's
Equivalent organizations operate outside of the causal string clusters of their universes.
The Temporal Anomalies Department sits outside of the normal flow of time. They have discretion over how to manage time in their universes and define the extent of acceptable interference.

• Macro-scale monitoring of causal branches.

Department of Temporal Anomalies

Local representative: Alice Forth
First response to localized paradox
Functions within the timeline.

• Enforcement of local causality.

• Downward-adjusted group coverage rates for K-Class Rebuilding Policies for all Signatory Foundation Entities;
• Individual coverage for temporally and/or multiversally displaced personnel;
• Advisory services on mass equivalence asymmetry induced in the course of inter-universal trade;
• Coverage for any and all damages incurred in the course of performing duties coerced by this document.

ARTICLE 𝟛. Benefits of the MFSCP

Statement 3.1: Intelligence sharing
In case of irreparable XK-Class Event or similar, relevant documents shall be autonomously disseminated to all other Coalition members for cautionary purposes.

Signatories to the MFSCP agree to be amnesticized of third-generation Expanded Temporal Expressions i.e. those capable of transmitting across multiversal TVM barriers.

Statement ZZ:
Temporal Pocketwatches
Locator Beacon

Statement ZZ: Multiversal Architecture?

Lloyd Deportation Clause
Agree to deport and terminate "Samuel Lloyd" (baseline designation SCP-3856) in non-signatory/unallied universes; unified parachronological and military might to do so;

ARTICLE 𝟜. The O9 Collective

Info of:
<Reynders conceives of a multi-foundation agreement to consolidate all temporal anomalies depts to a centralized authority. Several other versions of her have also conceived of this at the exact same time, and they all meet up to secretly create the initial draft of the agreement. They present the pact to their respective versions of O5-9, the overseer of temporal anomalies, who ask to use the same technology to speak with their alternate iterations.>

<Excerpt of log in which versions of O5-9 deliberate on sections of the Pact>

Upon signing this document, SCP-XX will have been in effect for the entirety of recorded history.

<thing>

ARTICLE 𝟝. Signatories

<The newly-agreed-upon pact is brought by O5-9 to the O5 Council for a vote. O5-1 votes against, while the rest are in favor or neutral. the agreement goes into effect and retroactively causes all associated timelines to always have followed the agreement, enacting reality-restructuring events across all of them in an earth-shaking way. The process of creating the agreement looks, from the perspective of each timeline, like they found a bunch of other timelines who happened to want to enforce all the same things they were already doing.>

notes

Establish what the pact is
Establish which storylines are part of the pact
Administrator and Xyank are antagonists moving forward but motives/goals are hazy
Set-up as opposed to direct combat
Increase section on too-off-brand to be the foundation
Constant worry about retrocausal bullshit
Goal is making more average/"homogenizing content" while also…?
Fighting/becoming more interesting causes timeline collapse, therefore goal is to make things happen more smoothly.
O5 really wants it upheld even they don't understand.

0. start of metanomaly
1. Why: just time stability, synchronize the time police, define prime timeline and pact standardization, reynders breaking rules
2. boots on the ground, what does it mean to synchronize the time police, retroactive enforcement, expansion
2b. who gets to join
3. shared knowledge/restrictions — scientific discovery sharing? open O5 amendment clause. lead into 4—
4. investigation of metanomaly, findings/explanation, cosmology, universe is antagonistic, stability requirement, obey your destiny as a legal statement (because of fighting 5000)

ANNOTATION II:

The need for a greater level of multiversal organization was obvious to me the moment I joined the Temporal Anomalies Department. O5 and above are aware, of course, of exclusion zones that stand outside the the chaotic flux of the timeline. My colleagues then — Regina Watts, Marcus Kitterman, and Loraine Mickelson among them — were well accustomed to fluctuations in consensus reality.

Yet I must illustrate the difficulty of our mission. Temporal Anomalies, in those days, was concerned with the causal alignment of a single universe and treated alternate histories as variations on our fundamental theme. The creation of a temporal exclusion site allowed the department to operate despite alterations to history, making temporal containment possible at all.

However, we are, of course, not alone in the multiverse. Parallel Foundations. Corbenic. Hartle. The Third Antarctic Empire. Whoever Thaddeus Xyank is. Each of these had causal strands of their own and their own time management agencies. All of them wanted to preserve their own histories to a healthy degree, up to and including multiversal contact — or lack thereof.

It was messy.

—Dr. Ilse Reynders, PhD¹⁶, Temporal Anomalies Department

Annotation III:

Something we adopted when we were fighting off alternate versions of ourselves was the use of wristwatches over Temporal Expressions. It's very useful to plot a course through time using nothing but mental mathematics and rudimentary drawing skills, but it's also a large operational risk. It takes only a moment's carelessness to leave not only a signpost but an open door for a pursuer to follow you through.

The original security of Temporal Expressions was that they were a subfield of an extremely obscure, incredibly arcane, and personally, fairly difficult form of applied math. The notation was unknown to anyone outside the Temporal Anomalies Department, and so the secret of mental time travel stayed secure.

The issue arose, of course, when our opponents were alternate versions of us.

I'm grateful that we never escalated to a full on multiversal war, but even after all that we never switched back over to training new recruits on the math behind Temporal Expressions. Wristwatches are much, much simpler and more elegant. There's far less risk of entangling causal strings from adjacent universes.

And frankly, I'm glad I don't have to bother with the difficult mathematics of TempExes anymore.

—Dr. Ilse Reynders

UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY

I have known several iterations of Ilse Reynders.

A constant among them is sheer intelligence. The wisdom of eighty years of experience and the acuity of a thirty-year-old mind.

So when Ilse Reynders says "math is hard"?

She's lying.

What are the watches really for?

— Dr. Thaddeus Xyank, Willing Fugitive, SCP-1780-2a.

UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY

Time is messy enough without multiversal retrocausal tyranny.

I recall Saturn, the reaper, lord of seasons and age. Father Time. I remember the world frozen around him, a diorama.

I think of his scythe, threshing heads of grain, plump and full of potential, harvesting them to be ground down into base starch and used to fuel an empire.

I think of what I discovered after that.

And then I think of how everything aligned when the Pact was signed, a trillion metahistories falling into lockstep. Deviations nulled.

Another reminder that my future does not exist.

What is done can be undone.
