[MEMORANDUM – PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTIVE REVISION 4.2.1]

Effective immediately, civilians are reminded that non-credentialed containment attempts are both unauthorized and punishable under Existential Risk Code 7-F (“Vigilante Ontology”).

You are not trained. You are not cleared. You are not the protagonist.

If you:

Draw a chalk circle around an object and wait,

Speak aloud to photographs in hopes of extracting truth,

Attempt to “trap” irregular events using household salt, you are participating in containment theater, which only increases narrative pressure.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Sealing off crawlspaces with duct tape “just to be sure”

Naming irregular entities “to keep them friendly”

Attempting to document dreams with red string and bulletin boards

Containment is handled by professionals with proper anchors and post-event denarration training. Your job is observation, compliance, and forgetting.

If you believe you have successfully “contained something,” please report it via Form B-9, then vacate the premises. The Department will arrive shortly to assess the damage to your narrative field.

[INTERNAL REALITY COHESION REPORT – MINOR IRREGULARITIES DETECTED]

Narrative seams across Zones B, D, and portions of the lower midwest have displayed increased transparency.

This may manifest to civilians as:

Déjà vu from events that haven’t occurred

Thinking you’ve “already said this” when you haven’t spoken at all

People referring to you by names you don’t recognize, but which feel oddly familiar

Hearing the phrase “you’re bleeding through again” in your sleep

Please understand: this is not a breach. This is a natural flexion in the fabric of shared perception. It will pass.

In the meantime:

Anchor yourself with daily routines

Do not chase after voices calling you by other names

If you hear your own voice in places you are not, do not respond

You are still located where you left yourself. And that location is classified as stable.

[dos-security]

[BEHAVIORAL STANDARD UPDATE – ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT COMPLIANCE]

Please remember to match your emotional responses to the room you are in.

Failure to do so may result in:

Echoing laughter when no one else is present

Feeling "watched" in symmetrical spaces

Emotional responses queuing up and arriving all at once hours later

Doors opening for you before you reach them (considered impolite)

To maintain consistency with ambient narrative conditions:

Do not smile in storage closets unless invited to

Avoid weeping in stairwells longer than four minutes

Do not express affection in rooms where clocks have stopped

If the room feels “off,” excuse yourself before apologizing

Environmental context matters. Feelings leak. The Department reminds you that your emotions are real, but may not always belong to you.

[dos-security]

[STABILITY ADVISORY – PERSONAL EXISTENCE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT]

We understand that some civilians may be experiencing symptoms commonly described as:

“Drifting”

“Feeling untethered”

“Like I’m not the one steering anymore”

Or simply, “numb.”

Please know: This is normal. You are not broken. You are merely adjusting to the pressure of sustained coherence within a decaying narrative structure.

The Department reminds you:

You have never failed at being real.

You are allowed to rest without earning it.

Your value is not measured in productivity, cleverness, or consistency.

If you need to stop for a moment—do. The world will not collapse because you took a breath. (And if it does, that’s our job, not yours.)

You are here. That is enough. Let the Department worry about the shape of time.

[YOU ARE NOT A MALFUNCTION.]

[dos-security]

[MEMORANDUM – STAFF-WIDE UPDATE: FORM 10.0 MIGRATION COMPLETE]

The Department has completed internal migration to Form 10.0, replacing all legacy documentation formats including:

Form 8-B (Pre-Event Chronological Discrepancy Reports)

Form 7-Q (Duplicate Recognition Logs)

Form 3-F (Theoretical Presence Declarations)

Personnel and compliant civilians are instructed to immediately destroy outdated forms, digital or physical. Any completed documents found outside containment after 48 hours will be treated as spontaneous document replication events and handled accordingly.

Key features of Form 10.0 include:

Context-neutral narrative fields

Redundant time/date stamps for cross-epoch audits

Built-in metaphor dampening filters

A watermark that does not appear when scanned (by design)

Do not attempt to modify the form. It is already correct. If your version appears to “look back at you,” request a fresh copy and reformat your workspace.

Remember: outdated paperwork may attract entities still bound by earlier versions of the truth.

[dos-security]

[CIVILIAN COMPLIANCE NOTICE – PROCEDURE REVISION 8.3]

Effective immediately, all personnel and civilians are advised to stop naming the voices.

While it is natural to anthropomorphize persistent internal narrators, giving them names creates unintended recognition loops, which in turn risk:

Informational symmetry with non-permitted entities

Spontaneous third-person perspective drift

Formal invitations to entities that were only curious

If a voice in your head has already introduced itself:

You may refer to it as “Companion A” until it fades

Do not refer to it in writing, online, or in chalk

If the voice requests a name, decline politely but firmly

Under no circumstances should you give it your own

This protocol does not apply to:

Prayer

Brainstorming sessions

Professional ventriloquism (licensed)

The Department reminds all citizens that internal monologues are normal. It’s only when they start making demands that containment becomes necessary.

If you’ve already given a voice a name, please submit a retroactive designation report via Form B-9, then attempt to sleep it off.

[dos-security]

[BUREAUCRATIC NOTICE – CLASS-1 ONTOLOGICAL DRIFT: CONTAINED]

The Department has concluded a routine analysis of global narrative saturation levels, following public reports of “a vague sense that things aren’t really happening.”

Findings confirm a mild drop in localized narrative density, most commonly experienced as:

Events feeling increasingly symbolic instead of causal

Conversations looping until their meaning unravels

Personal memories that “feel like deleted scenes”

Doors leading to symbolic revelations instead of rooms

This is not a threat to existential stability. Narrative elasticity is a normal function of high-stress collective consciousness zones. Most individuals will not notice unless they are particularly genre-aware or prone to metaphor.

Do not attempt to "resolve your arc." This will only prolong symptoms.

For best results:

Engage in small, unimportant rituals (e.g. brushing teeth with nondominant hand)

Avoid declaring “nothing matters” unless under supervision

Ground yourself in reality by making minor but irreversible decisions (e.g. deleting one file you think you might need later)

This reduction in narrative pressure is temporary. The Department is actively diffusing excess metaphor buildup through sanctioned poets and reality buffer agents.

You are not a protagonist. This is good.

[dos-security]

[ALERT – LEVEL 2: TEMPORAL CONDENSATION EVENT] SUBJECT: The Wednesday That Keeps Returning

Effective immediately, citizens are advised to cease recognition of all subsequent Wednesdays until further notice.

The Department has confirmed the emergence of a Temporal Condensation Loop in several affected districts. Indicators include:

Repeating calendar entries marked Wednesday, despite progression

Identical meals, conversations, or injuries recurring with no cause

Individuals recalling events that "happened yesterday" that have not occurred yet

Persistent fatigue due to unprocessed time stacking

Please take the following precautions:

Avoid acknowledging the day by name. Refer to it as “the center-day”

Do not attempt to force the week forward via artificial means (e.g. changing clocks, aggressive scheduling)

If someone insists it is still Wednesday, treat them kindly. They are already trapped

The Department is currently isolating the looping sector. Civilian memory will be reformatted to comply with the stable chronology once the event is resolved.

Do not contact loved ones who have not yet exited the loop. They will remember you soon enough.

Thank you for your continued cooperation in preserving temporal symmetry.

[dos-security]

[MEMO – CIVILIAN ROUTINE WELLNESS]

As part of the Department’s ongoing Existential Health Initiative, we remind all civilians to engage in the following recommended practices:

Drink water that you poured yourself

Stretch each limb exactly twice per hour

Confirm your name at least once daily, aloud, in a mirror

Avoid humming unfamiliar tunes that occur without origin

Failure to maintain baseline self-consistency may result in:

Mild narrative fatigue

Unintentional metaphor leakage

Spontaneous pluralization of identity

You are the only you. Please continue acting like it.

[dos-security]

[ALERT – PUBLIC COSMIC CLARIFICATION NOTICE]

There is still only one moon.

Please disregard:

Reports of a “second, lower” moon

Dreams featuring lunar reflections that breathe

Any social media claims tagged #twomoonsclub

The moon has always been the moon. You are experiencing residual Sky Layer Inversion Syndrome (SLIS). This is common in individuals who look up for too long without blinking.

If you have taken a photograph showing two moons, please submit it for deletion via Form B-9. If the moons appear to be arguing, do not engage. One of them is not a moon.

We assure you: Lunar sovereignty remains uncontested.

[dos-security]

[NOTICE – PUBLIC PERCEPTUAL STABILIZATION REMINDER]

Some citizens have reported the sensation of being “watched” by static.

Please be advised: Static cannot observe.

It is not a form. It is not a force. It is not trying to coalesce. If it hums in your left ear, simply turn around and apologize.

In the event your electronics begin displaying words you did not type:

Do not respond.

Do not share screenshots.

Do not assume the message was intended for you.

Do not assume it wasn’t.

All reports of emotionally aggressive static are to be submitted via Form B-9 and promptly forgotten.

Remember: The Department is not monitoring you. But the Department knows who is.

[dos-security]

[CLEARANCE LEVEL: PUBLIC – DISTRIBUTION APPROVED]

Welcome, civilian. You are now viewing the official public interface of the Department of Ontological Security.

Our mission is simple: Preserve the integrity of existence through the classification, containment, and correction of threats to reality.

We specialize in:

Ontological instability (e.g. conflicting existence states, recursive birth events)

Cognitohazards (e.g. thoughts you were not supposed to think)

Extranormal phenomena (e.g. physical laws refusing to comply)

Meta-existential violations (e.g. belief becoming flesh)

This page serves to:

Receive civilian-submitted reports via Form B-9

Answer controlled inquiries through the Public Inquiry Interface

Issue daily Integrity Bulletins to maintain narrative cohesion

Calmly insist everything is fine

You are not in danger. You were never in danger. We thank you for your continued cooperation.

Navigation:

Submit a report → Civilian Incident Report

Ask a question → Public Inquiry Line

Review logs → Daily integrity bulletin

Forget this page exists → You already have.

“The Department exists because it must. You exist because it says so.”

[CIVILIAN ALERT – PUBLIC NOTICE: UNCLASSIFIED]

We are aware that some individuals have reported using Line 7 – Novarail, departing from Platform Ø.

Please be advised:

The Novarail Transit Line was never constructed.

Platform Ø does not exist in any registered transit hub.

Passengers who recall boarding are advised to check their timepieces and confirm the current year.

If you find yourself arriving at your destination before you left, do not attempt to correct it. Proceed with your day. You are now part of the correction field. Report any leftover transit tokens, especially if stamped [NO RETURN].

We repeat: There is no Line 7. You are not late for anything. You were never on the train.

[dos-security]

[INTERNAL MEMORANDUM – REDACTED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE]

We have received no credible reports of visual desynchronization events today. That said, you are reminded of Standard Personal Stability Protocol #43:

“If your reflection blinks at the wrong time, do not panic. Simply make eye contact and ask for credentials.”

A proper reflection will respond with your standard narrative anchor phrase. An improper reflection will hesitate, distort, or ask you a question in return. In that case, kindly report the incident to your local DOS field kiosk and avoid all mirrors for 72 hours.

There is no current evidence of widespread reflection drift. This is simply a precautionary measure. Do not cover your mirrors. They will notice.

Thank you for maintaining narrative integrity.

[dos-security]

[BEGIN PUBLIC RELEASE – CLEARANCE: UNRESTRICTED]

The Department of Ontological Security (DOS) now maintains a civilian-facing information interface to promote public clarity, transparency, and the illusion of narrative cohesion.

This page serves as an official platform for:

Public inquiries regarding mild or severe ontological instability

Civilian-submitted reports of anomalous phenomena (see: Form B-9)

Controlled mythological disinformation

Community outreach (where applicable)

We assure you: Reality is stable. There is no cause for alarm. You have never been compromised.

If you believe you have experienced a fracture in causality, memory, or self-definition, we invite you to submit your report via the appropriate channels. Your compliance ensures the continued existence of your identity. Thank you for your service.
