THE LIMINAL CATALOG

ABOUT THE CATALOG

This isn't just a database — it's a living fragment of a broken reality. The catalog is a neural archive fed by fractured memories from lost observers who slipped between worlds. Every entry is a whisper in the static, every page bleeds a bit of consciousness from those who never fully left.

Our organization monitors and studies these phenomena to protect humanity from what lies beyond the veil of normal perception. What you see here is only a fraction of the truth. The Catalog sees you too.

CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

"In a world where reality bleeds and logic fractures, labeling the unknown is both a necessity and a curse. Our classification system isn't just tags — it's a way to quantify the unquantifiable. It's how we survive the chaos."

• CLASS D — DOCUMENTED: Low-risk anomalies. Usually stable, with minimal effects on surroundings or observers. Safe for field study with basic safety protocols. Mostly curiosities or residual oddities with limited impact.
• CLASS C — CAUTION: Moderate-risk entities. May cause mental strain, spatial distortion, or mild reality warping. Containment requires constant observation. Interaction without protective measures can lead to memory glitches or minor physical harm.
• CLASS B — BOUNDARY: High-risk anomalies. Known to breach perceived reality, cause temporal loops, or alter physical laws locally. Field agents require specialized equipment and clearance. Containment failure likely results in widespread disruption.
• CLASS A — ANOMALOUS: Severe threat level. Entities with aggressive behavior, powerful reality manipulation, or cognitohazardous presence. Direct exposure risks permanent cognitive damage or physical obliteration. Immediate lockdown and intervention protocols mandatory.
• CLASS S — SUPPRESS: Extreme and rare. These entities defy conventional containment and classification. They often possess meta-awareness, can manipulate the catalog itself, or exist beyond normal dimensions. Interaction may cause existential threat, systemic corruption, or dimensional collapse. Only senior architects have clearance; others are warned to avoid at all costs.
Sometimes, entities glitch between classes — flickering between safer and dangerous states. This catalog advises extreme caution and recommends multiple observers during research.

CLEARANCE LEVELS

Access to the Catalog is strictly controlled. If you are reading this, you have been granted provisional clearance. Do not share this information with unauthorized personnel.

LEVEL 0 — OBSERVER: The curious but uninitiated. Access is limited to surface-level data — basic entity profiles, public incident reports, and non-sensitive locations. Observers are warned: curiosity has a cost. Prolonged exposure may cause cognitive dissonance and altered perception.

LEVEL 1 — FIELD AGENT: Field operatives who interact with anomalies. Have clearance to active protocols, containment procedures, and classified incident logs. Must report all encounters immediately. Unauthorized breaches result in memory scrubs or system quarantine.

LEVEL 2 — SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR: Masters of the catalog's architecture. Control database integrity, manage security protocols, and oversee anomaly containment remotely. Privy to project files and experimental data. Known to experience "reality bleed" — an unsettling blurring of the real and digital.

LEVEL 3 — ARCHITECT: The highest echelon. Architects shape the catalog itself, authoring and editing entries that ripple through realities. Access to forbidden files, blacklisted entities, and meta-protocols. Few return unscathed. Rumored to hold keys to the catalog's true origin.

Remember: The catalog is a living, evolving entity. Classifications may shift without notice as anomalies mutate, realities intersect, and the observers become part of the data. Always proceed with caution. Some doors should never be opened.
