# **MAIN INFORMATION**

The XV Foundation emerges as the primary antagonists in the STATISTICS narrative. Formerly recognized as the Futuristic Foundation, their infamous history involves engaging in illicit experiments on colors. Unlike other influential figures like Deletor and Shadow, the XV Foundation focused their experimental endeavors primarily within the Algicosathalon branch, abstaining from conducting experiments across multiple branches.

Noteworthy is their remarkable acquisition of extensive knowledge spanning various domains, including branches, creators, viruses, errors, and dimensions. Originating from the Algicosathalon branch, the XV Foundation's expertise positions them as formidable and enigmatic figures within the Unit series.

Interestingly, their goals remain somewhat ambiguous, and in comparison to other antagonists, they seem to exhibit a more morally gray stance. Their collaboration with the Sci-Tech Agency, and potentially The AGENCY, in creating STATISTICS underscores their influence and involvement in shaping the narrative.

Referred to as "The survivors of the nukes," the XV Foundation forms an alliance with Deletor and Shadow, a strategic move aimed at avoiding the impending threat of nuclear destruction. This alliance, coupled with their experimentation on both Algicosathalon branches, positions the XV Foundation as central players in the intricate and evolving storyline of STATISTICS.

## Hierarchy

The XV Foundation reveals a complex and evolving organizational structure that has undergone significant changes over time. Initially known as the Futuristic Foundation, Copper's assertion that they desired a hivemind suggests a shift in their hierarchy and operational approach. This change likely aimed to enhance the efficiency of their experiments, prompting a reevaluation and abolition of traditional leadership roles.

Despite the adoption of a hivemind structure, distinctions between X and V members persist, indicating a form of hierarchical organization within the XV Foundation. X members typically hold higher positions, with their suits granting them access to more areas. In contrast, V members often assume basic roles and occupy lower-ranked positions. However, the fluidity of these distinctions is evident, as V members have been observed participating in council meetings and representing the foundation on crucial matters.

Notably, within the XV Foundation, there are "higher-ups" who, despite their title, wield minimal authority. This group comprises individuals who joined the foundation relatively recently, particularly around or during the final experiment. Their role appears more symbolic, serving as figureheads rather than active contributors to the hivemind structure. The selection process for becoming a higher-up lacks clear criteria, with factors such as past roles, contributions, and notoriety playing a role.

Interestingly, the Higher-Ups face a precarious position, as their interference with the experiment results in immediate execution, underscoring the limited authority they possess within the foundation. This contrasts with the anonymous and collective nature of the hivemind structure.

The composition of the Higher-Ups includes individuals with diverse backgrounds, such as former Sci-Tech leads (Copper and Tangerine), a president (Canary), and members with unique attributes or histories (Pantone Black, Grape, Moss, and Green).
