Reality Anchor

**🧹 Needs Cleaning Up 🧹**

A **Reality Anchor** is a device that synchronizes local spice-time ( Ħ ) with Earth-standard Hüng ( 1 Ħ ). When used, a reality anchor will lift all surrounding space-time into "reality". In other words, the device can increase the Hüng in any area x→1.

## Hüng

A Hüng ( Ħ ) is a quantitative measurement of how close local space-time is to "reality" (1 Ħ ). Hüng exists on a scale of 0-1, with 1 being the most "real reality", while 0 is the most abstract or "non-reality". Like Kelvin, 0 Ħ is a theoretical notion, as nothing can exist "outside" of reality (See Exotic Hüng Levels). However, 1 Ħ *is* defined, and must be tared or given a foreign value. In Arcadia, any point in space-time on Earth was considered acceptable. Post Scorched-Earth, it is only acceptable to use space-time within 1km of the center of Capital, and must be measured above ground.

## History

### Exotic Hüng Levels

Hüng levels ≤ 0 Ħ are considered to be "Exotic". Early in PTOE-era physics, theoretical levels of Hüng were explored. The first of these were areas with 0 Ħ. Due to foreign pressures, the UN decided in 2494 CE that new weapons should be designed in light of the TOE's incredible success. The first to be conceived of was a "reality-warping" weapon, which disrupted local space-time, contracting it to a threshold deemed "non-reality". The existence of low-reality spaces were already verified by 2494, most prominently around the ergo sphere ( ~0.5 Ħ ) and singularity ( x→0 Ħ ) of black holes. However, computational power for the construction of reality-altering machines was inconceivable. This, and many other factors, was the catalyst for the creation of the TONN project.

Five years later in 2500 CE, the first Obelisk of all time, Coeus is created. The reality-warping weapon was now undergoing research, and in 2503 CE, the first (remembered and recorded) reality disruptor (now known as retroreality anchors or RRAs) was invented. Although initially created for offensive purposes the RRA was far more useful as a tool. The UN would use RRAs to selectively sink reality, creating architectural impossibilities, and bridges across space-time.

In late 2503 a paper released by Dr. Marcel Rosenblum entitled "Possibilities in reality synthesis technologies" was published. The paper claimed that if reality disruptors could be reversed, it could be used to create manifolds between various bubbles of space-time. This captured the hearts and minds of the scientists working at the UN, and the hypothesis was taken on by half the staff to manifest Dr. Rosenblum's vision.

This was the creation of Oceanus, a reality outside of reality, housing the five most powerful reality warping devices in history: two retroreality anchors, and three reality anchors. Oceanus, although outside of reality, was placed inside of the earth.

## Modern day use

### Wards, Grotesques and Nazars

Because of the Network mundane object may be given reality-warping effects. This is most commonly used in wards like Nazars and Grotesques. Antiwards also exist, like: Chaos Stars, Religious symbols, and Talismans. These work to decrease the activation energy of local reality bending, and can even generate reality-warping forces on their own.

## Retroreality Anchor

A **Retroreality Anchor** performs the reverse of a typical reality anchor. Instead of raising local spice-time, it sinks it. Effectively decreasing Hüng in any area x→0. Retroreality anchors are made as to never reach 0 Ħ, once reaching this point its existence would be erased from the universe. This implies the existence of other retroreality anchors that have or will have been made, which erased their existence from reality.
