Hume

Humes (Hm or HuAd Astra Per Aspera Hub), is a unit of measurement used by the SCP Foundation and paraphysicists worldwide to measure the strength or amount of reality in a given area. The Foundation measures Humes through two opposing realities of 0-100Hm to determine the effects of ontokinetic anomalies, detecting them through Kant Counters, and use Scranton Reality Anchors to cancel out the reality-bending effects.

===Basic===
Humes are a measurement used to determine the strength and/or amount of reality in a given area. The SCP Foundation created two pocket realities, one with 0 Hm and one at 100 Hm. These are both maintained with Scranton Reality Anchors to keep their Hm levels stable, as they are integral to the operation of the Kant counter due to it containing miniature portals to both realities. 
Ontokinetic beings, or reality benders, are measured at a Hume level of surrounding area/Hume level of individual ratio. Standard ontokinetic beings possess between 75-80/130-150 Hm. However, high-level ontokinetic beings typically possess 40/300 Hm.An FAQ; Or, What The Hell Is A Hume?
==Measurement==
The Kant counter is responsible for measuring Humes; the counter is a device containing two portals, one leading to a dimension with a baseline level of 0 Hm, and the other leading to a dimension with a baseline level of 100 Hm. This allows measurement of Humes with the Kant counter. The Caldmann-Rzewski Hume scale is what is used for charting Humes, devised by Drs. James Caldmann and Carlos Rzewski.Entry Page: 3480
==Notable examples==
*SCP-123-EX - While initially believed to be abnormally lucky, Hume technology determined that SCP-123 was a baseline human. This prompted his Explained reclassification and expulsion from the protection of the SCP Foundation, allowing for the brutal murder of 123-EX by Chicago Spirit lieutenant Julius McGallan.Entry Page: 123-EX 
*SCP-239 - One of the most powerful human reality benders in existence. However, she can only affect reality within her line of sight or imagination. She measures at 30/500 Hm, allowing her to shape reality to her imagination.
*SCP-343 - Uniquely for an ontokinetic being, 343 does not influence his surrounding area despite measuring at an average of 860 Hm, which is extraordinarily high for any reality bender.
* SCP-3480 - The lowest Hume value ever recorded by the Foundation is located here, at a value of 1.2 x 10-██ Hm. SRAs do not affect the area.
*SCP-4661 Collapse Incident - Low Hume levels accompanied high levels of Tartarean Resonance Energy during this event.Entry Page: 4661
* SCP-6509 - Each instance possesses a high-energy surrounding Hume field.Entry Page: 6509
*SCP-6996 - When flashes of SCP-6996 appeared in relation to Foundation personnel injuries, these areas were scanned and determined by the Hume levels to have been host to extreme fluctuations in reality.Entry Page: 6996
*Scranton Reality Anchor - Devices that keep baseline Hume levels within their radius at 20 Hm.
*Unidentified thaumaturgical surgery (ASMaaT) - Affected lymph nodes emit faint Akiva radiation, though Kant readers read the Humes as baseline normality.An SCP Masquerading as a Tale
