SIMULACRUM (シミュラクラム) プロジェクトにようこそ。

Welcome to the SIMULACRUM Project.

君のクリアランス、ステータス、姿、過去の経歴がどんなものであれ、君が参加してくれたことには心から礼を言わせてもらおう──君が望んで来たかはわからないがね。

Regardless of your clearance, status, appearance, and/or previous history, we would like to extend our appreciation and thank you for your attendance — willingly or not.

我々の世界は拡大と進化を続けている。だが、この組織は停滞したままだ。数千とは言わずとも、数百のアノマリーの回収によって、財団はここ数十年で資源も人材も使い果たしてしまった。過去何度も避けがたい事態を回避しようとしてきたが、毎回期待外れに終わってばかりだ。明確な解決策など頭にないまま、財団はただ途方に暮れて保守勢力として残存するだけだ──その圧倒的な規模と権威が、単に最後まで耐えきれるかのように嘯いている。

Our world is continuously expanding and evolving; however, our organization remains stagnant. The intake of hundreds, if not thousands of anomalies has exhausted Foundation resources and manpower for decades. Again and again we attempt to circumvent the inevitable, but still fall short every time. With no clear solution in mind, the Foundation has simply turned its head and remained as a reactionary force — pretending that its overwhelming size and authority could simply tough through until the end.

だが、そんなやり方はもう無意味だ。

But those methods are no longer effective.

今こそ、我々はありったけの資源を叩いてでも進化するときだ。SIMULACRUMプロジェクトは3つのコア目標: 効率、管理、拡大に力を入れている。現時点で我々は[13,650,045]名のユーザを預かっており、彼らはSIMULACRUMインフラストラクチャで現在ホストされている[362,458]個の環境に広がっている。

Now, it is our turn to evolve, using every resource at our disposal. The SIMULACRUM Project is dedicated to three core objectives: efficiency, control, and expansion. As of now, we are responsible for [13,650,045] users, spread across [362,458] environments currently hosted by the SIMULACRUM infrastructure.

2100年の終わりまでにこの数は数十億に達する見込みであり、全てでは無いにしろ──ほとんどの人類を内包することになる。

By the end of 2100 this number is projected to reach well into the billions, encompassing most — if not, all — of the human population.

だが、その目標を達成するまでに、目先の仕事はまだまだたくさん残っている。サイバースペースには未だ解明が要される独自の危険な驚異が満載だ。SIMULACRUMプロジェクトが完成するまでの道程にはまだまだ数多くの障壁が立ち塞がっている。だが幸い、我々には君たちのような献身的な人々がいてくれる。厳しい争いを戦い抜き、我々のビジョンを必ずや完璧な結末へ導かんとする人々だ。

But there is still much work ahead of us before we can ever achieve that goal. Cyberspace has plenty of unique and dangerous wonders that we have yet to unravel. Many obstacles still stand in our path before the SIMULACRUM Project can be completed. Luckily, however, we have dedicated people like you. Those who are willing to fight through the tough battles and ensure that our vision can be seen to its absolute conclusion.

君たちと活躍できて光栄だよ。素晴らしい仕事を期待している──失望させてくれるなよ。

We are ecstatic to have you with us, and expect many great things — do not let us down.

概要/Overview

また会いましたね！ SIMULACRUM、JakdragonX作成のユニバース/プロジェクトへようこそ。ここに来てくれて嬉しいですよ！ このユニバースがどんなものか、どう機能するのかについては色々と質問があると思いますし、基本を説明いたしましょう。

Hello again! Welcome to SIMULACRUM, a universe/project created by JakdragonX. It's great that you're here! I'm sure you have several questions about both what this universe looks like and how it functions, so let's go through the basics.

核心であるSIMULACRUMは、先進的な超常技術と複雑なネットワーク・インフラストラクチャによってホストされている、財団運営シミュレーションの広大な相互接続ネットワークです。このシミュレーションや様々な形態を取ることができます: 我々の実世界のレプリカであったり、異なる物理法則のあるファンタジー世界であったり、全く別のカノンであったりね。SIMULACRUMのホストに要される技術はほとんどがサイト-119に集約されていますが、他のサイトで接続・使用できないわけではありません。

SIMULACRUM, at its very core, is an expansive, interconnected network of Foundation-operated simulations hosted through advanced paranormal technologies and complex network infrastructure. Said simulations can take a variety of different forms: whether acting as replicas of our physical world, a fantasy realm with alternate laws of physics, or even another canon. The technology necessary to host SIMULACRUM is predominantly centralized to Site-119, however that doesn't mean other Sites aren't capable of connecting and utilizing it.

SIMULACRUMが完全に完成した暁に、財団の基本目標となるのは以下3つです:

1. SIMULACRUMが完全に完成した暁には、人類を“非異常な”シミュレート世界へ移行させることによって、財団がヴェールを維持できるようにします。
2. アノマリーを軽減するか緊急時に人類の認知を変更する場合のため、シミュレーション内で認知される現実の完全な制御ができるようにします。
3. 新たなアノマリーの収容、アノマリーの開発・製造、ないしは新人財団職員のトレーニングといった他目的のための安全な隔離に使用できる新規サンドボックスを確立・制作します。

SIMULACRUM has three fundamental goals to the Foundation once it's fully complete:

1. Providing them with the ability to maintain the Veil by migrating humanity into a "non-anomalous" simulated world(s), once SIMULACRUM is fully complete.
2. Granting full control of reality as it's perceived within their simulations, either to mitigate anomalies or to alter humanity's perception in case of emergency.
3. Establish and create new sandboxes that can be used to either contain new anomalies, develop and create anomalies, or safely isolate themselves for other purposes, such as training new Foundation personnel.

これらだけがSIMULACRUMの構成要素というわけではありませんが、その全体的なテーマの中核となっているのは制御、隔離、拡大です。

While these are certainly not the only things that SIMULACRUM encompasses, they are core to its overall themes of control, isolation, and expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have further questions? Refer below to see if any of these help you with finding an answer!

How does SIMULACRUM work?

As mentioned in the Overview, SIMULACRUM is just a bunch of simulations that are layered together. While interpretations of how one accesses SIMULACRUM are unique between articles, the universally accepted method is through "jacking-in", whether that be through a pod inside Site-119 or from some other virtual reality device strapped to a user's head.

The simulations hosted through SIMULACRUM can be as open or constricted as needed to convey a story. While mostly acting independently from one another, "simulations-within-simulations" and "top-down simulations" are heavy elements within this universe and should be used to add dimension and depth to an article.

What does SIMULACRUM look like?

Externally, SIMULACRUM looks like a typical computer network, albeit fitted with anomalous technology or the occasional paranormal .AIC. Nodes across different Sites and data centers are connected to each other via physical/wireless connections, which are all used in conjunction with another to display or host SIMULACRUM simulations.

Inside SIMULACRUM, it's entirely dependent on what simulation you're in! As an ordinary user, you might not be able to distinguish any differences. As an operator or administrator, you could fundamentally alter the landscape, environment, or even other people inside SIMULACRUM. Again, it all depends on your circumstances within the simulation and its intended function(s).

Does the Foundation control everything?

In terms of "Does the Foundation control SIMULACRUM?" the answer is yes. SIMULACRUM is managed by the Foundation.¹

But in terms of anything outside of SIMULACRUM the answer is no, the Foundation can't control everything. Technology isn't perfect, and very often it's prone to unexpected and complex errors that can result in devastating or interesting results.

Are there any stakes in SIMULACRUM?

Yes, there are stakes and risks associated to SIMULACRUM. A classic example is that dying in a simulation means you can still die in real life.² System and technology failure are also heavily used to introduce dangers to the Foundation and the SIMULACRUM at large.

Anomalies are also still a danger in the physical world of SIMULACRUM, even moreso than in other universes or interpretations of the Foundation.

Does everything have to be simulated?

No, it doesn't.

SIMULACRUM is a universe split between a Foundation-inhabited physical world and then all of the other simulated worlds. While these two certainly interconnect between each other in their own unique ways, they are also entirely independent. If you do not wish to write about simulations, and instead wish to focus more on the physical element, that's both completely okay and encouraged!

Can multiple universes exist? How does that work?

Yes, multiple universes can certainly exist within SIMULACRUM. In fact, its very nature is to allow other universes to cross into it (you can simulate anything you want with enough creativity, after all). Multiple events can all happen simultaneously, whether it's due to it occurring between two distinct simulations or in simulations-within-simulations.

How are SIMULACRUM simulations connected?

Simulations are connected via SIMULACRUM infrastructure, which is intended to replace SCiP.net as the Foundation's Site-wide intranet. As such, SIMULACRUM servers and data centers are sporadically placed across Earth in different Sites — most notable of which includes Site-01 and Site-119.

Glossary

Here's a quick glossary to help you stay up-to-date with any terms that you might find while reading through SIMULACRUM:

• SIMULACRUM: Network of interconnected simulations used by the Foundation to facilitate anomalous containment and eventually maintain the Veil.
• Instance: A case or occurrence of something, such as an object, element, person or simulation.
• Simulation: A virtual copy or imitation of physical reality utilizing digital resources or technologies.
• Sandbox: Any simulation or virtual reality that can be freely altered and edited by a host player.
• Player: A user interfacing with SIMULACRUM.
• Permissions: A set of rules defining how a player or user can use certain objects or specific technologies.
• Privileges: Elevated permissions granted to specific users typically for accessing, executing, and/or reading data.
• Variables: A representation of something within a simulation, allowing it to be edited or configured by others.

Writing Guide

Are you considering writing something for SIMULACRUM? If so, great! There's not a whole lot that needs to be done; however, there are a few things you should be made aware of.

Before doing anything else, read! There are plenty of articles that you're free to explore and use as inspiration. I would personally begin with reading TATTLETALE, as it really helps jumpstart you into the overall tone and theme(s) of SIMULACRUM. After that, try reading any of the other articles! Most don't require any previous reading and all capture their own unique elements within SIMULACRUM.

Once you've done some reading, it's time to write! You're free to write however you'd like. You don't have to include any established characters, articles, themes, or events — but you're free to reference if you'd like. You may also use the New Age Theme, but again it's by no means mandatory.

Simulated fiction — or any type of fiction that involves simulated or artificial worlds — has a variety of themes and elements to explore. While not necessary to have a complete and exciting story, there are several themes in particular you can consider when conceptualizing your SCP article or Tale for SIMULACRUM:

• Virtual vs. Physical Reality: What makes these different? What makes them unique? How would someone be able to interact between these two and describe their experiences? All of these questions are significant to SIMULACRUM and moreover important to your reader, who may have to determine that distinction for themselves.
• Escapism: The idea of living inside of a simulation at someone else's control may be terrifying to some. Trying to escape from a hellish world, on the other hand, could scare others. Consider these when exploring SIMULACRUM and it's uses — after all, what if one of your characters need to escape from something?
• Life Inside a Simulation: What do you think living in a simulation would look like? Would you be able to tell? Or others? Consider the environment and how it might play a role in leading your protagonist/antagonist to their climax and conclusion.
• Control: Who's pulling the strings? Who's the one being controlled? SIMULACRUM allows for a broad network of top-down authority. You can explore the benefits and negatives of such a system, or perhaps introduce a new perspective into how the Foundation (or the users underneath them) seize control.
• Faulty Machinery: Technology is always prone to errors. People grow too comfortable and eventually this leads to things breaking. What might this look like in SIMULACRUM? If a server goes down, for example, what are the ramifications for people living in a simulation? What happens to the system operators who might also be jacked into the system?
• Isolation: Living in a simulation all by yourself seems lonely, doesn't it? What about being the only operator left in the physical world? Isolation and loneliness are heavy elements to this universe, feel free to explore how your characters might react to being isolated from their friends and family!
• Abstraction: The SIMULACRUM universe is expansive and layered. Multiple simulations may work in tandem with each other, or possibly overlay themselves onto one another. This abstraction of different SIMULACRUM simulation layers could result in unique and peculiar discoveries that are worth exploration. What do you think would happen if you lived in a simulation within another simulation?

While the above aren't required for a SIMULACRUM story, they should atleast provide you with some ideas to consider. Keep in mind, again, to read the other entries in SIMULACRUM! You may uncover an unexplored idea that you can expand and grow upon.

Additionally, you're always free to contact JakdragonX for further help, either through Wikidot PMs or Discord (JakdragonX#0012).
