CCC-68

Containment
CCC-68 is to be kept in its shaft at Heavy Facility-█. Cameras placed at different points (Yellow Zone, Orange Zone, Red Zone and just outside of the Vanishing Zone), and must be used to monitor conditions of CCC-68. Any changes, however minor, to CCC-68's behaviour MUST be reported immediately. If necessary, complex concepts and ideas may be fed to CCC-68 to prevent expansion. Complex mathematical formulas and equations are recommended.

Description
CCC-68 is an extremely complex web of intrinsically linked abstract ideas, which manifests as a levitating, partially physical fractal. Measurements taken outside of the objects area of effect show it to be an infinite fractal. CCC-68 has an area of effect, around 20m in total, where details and features of objects, concepts and ideas are abstracted. A complex object with lots of detail, after being exposed to CCC-68, will become simpler and abstracted. This effect manifests itself inside the field of effect.

20m - 15m: Yellow Zone. Decomposition advances, details will gradually abstract, shapes will become smoother.

15m - 10m: Orange Zone. Decomposition advances noticeably, wounds heal slower than normal, object abstraction becomes visible.

10m-3m: Red Zone. Decomposition of a human body to a skeleton takes ~30m at 3 metres from CCC-68. Abstraction continues at extreme rates. Wounds take years to heal.

3m - 0m: Vanishing Zone. Any physical object entering this zone will instantly abstract into nothingness.

CCC-68 appears to grow over time, and due to the possibility of a X-C Reality Reconfiguration Event, or an X-Y Quantum Override Event, a containment procedure has been devised. The "feeding" of complex ideas and concepts (such as mathematical formulas) appears to slow, stop and even reverse the expansion of CCC-68's area of effect.

CCC-68.1 through to CCC-68.11 are a group of humans who were exposed to CCC-68 during the excavation of a new sector of Heavy Facility-█. The section they were digging through caved in, and they fell into the Red Zone, at about 6m away. After their recovery, they were found to be extremely abstracted. One was interviewed in the medical bay.

Chaff: Hello, ! Wait, why did I call you that? ?

Chaff: Could you explain in more detail?
