How is this different from the Backrooms?

This page covers the difference between the   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   and the Backrooms, as well as their respective wikis, to clear up some confusion some readers might have. The   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   and the Backrooms are easy to mistake for each other, since they both focus about exiting reality and entering an anomalous dimension filled with familiar-looking liminal spaces.

## Fear versus Learning

Since the Backrooms are a collaborative project based around a loose concept, the people who experience and write about it decide what it is, so the definition of "the Backrooms" is not completely clear. Generally however, the Backrooms regarded as a creepypasta, which by definition is primarily based on evoking fearful reactions. The Backrooms are essentially the   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   with the added aspect of fear. What turns the Backrooms into the   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   is the realisation that fear is no longer necessary in a metaphysical world like this, that you don't need to be constrained by your worries from the physical world (The Frontrooms), and that you are free to explore. On the   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   Wiki, we believe in learning about and experiencing liminal spaces, not creating fear. Any fearful situations you encounter in the Backrooms are the manifestation of fear you have brought with yourself from the physical world. However, some people choose to enter the Backrooms with the intention of experiencing fear, which is another way to learn.

In summary, the Backrooms focus on fear whereas the   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   focuses on learning.

## Purposes of the Wikis

The Backrooms and liminal spaces are a popular concept, probably because they are something most people can relate to on a deep level. They are so popular that there is probably a separate wiki on Fandom aimed to document the Backrooms and liminal spaces for every wall there is in the Backrooms. This section lists a few of the most notable Backrooms and liminal space wikis, along with our own. If you are familiar with these wikis and find our description of them incorrect, report that in the comments or on the forums and we will assess it. We perceive the purpose of these wikis to be:

* Backrooms Fandom Wiki - to entertain readers with creative writing detailing visits to the Backrooms
* Backrooms Wikidot Wiki - to entertain readers with creative writing, with stricter policies to keep the writing quality high
* Liminal Archives Wikidot Wiki - to inform readers about liminal spaces and topics related to them
* B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   Wiki - to inform readers about liminal spaces in a philosophical way, promote a safe space to learn about liminal spaces, and help users gain new skills such as lore analysis and meditation that will be useful in other areas of life. Because this wiki is not made to entertain, we don't pay too much attention to writing quality, and instead focus on helping the general understanding of the community.
