"He ate his soup, calmly, while listening to a new video The Exploring Series had just released concerning the topic of Pataphysics within the SCP universe. Suddenly, he felt the urge to type a comment underneath the video with these same words, although why, he could not tell."
But I’m eating ribs.
POV entered the video being played on the character's phone. Researchers discovered that POV may enter a different universe, depending on the current image being displayed in the video being played on the character's phone. It is discovered that all characters, nature, physics, and everything in these universes are frozen. POV remains in full control over exploring said universes, however time appears to be at a complete standstill. Upon entering a new medium in an image, or, "frozen universe", time continues to remain still until the "Play" button is pressed on the remote being used to control POV. Time goes as normal in resumed media and POV can continue to enter new media, if the setting of the current one is technologically capable of displaying media.
Circular narratives, ooooooh.
glad I'm on the toilet right now.
This caught me by surprise, since I am eating soup, and it was calmly until I saw this.

The article talks about six different pieces of media, and says that Appendix A contains conclusions from experiments that lead to some horrible revelation. Appendix A is missing.

I really like the television camera controller one. It's really creepy how you can explore something that was never meant to be seen. It also makes you really think about what it's all supposed to mean. When the researchers enter the horror show from sandman why is it that all the characters know exactly where the camera is? How are they aware of the 4th wall and why do they appear to be lifeless. You could brush it off as it's just a little glitchy... but the thing is that has never happened before. See each tv show that the researchers go in have an established canon that is defined by the universe preceding it. Like the soprano show defines the tv show "sandman" and when we enter it, that show defines a popular sitcom "caroline caroline" and when we enter that it defines a creepy movie titled snakebite.. The thing is, originally Sopranos defines everything. So somehow the civilization in Sopranos created a show who's population likes watching a show with nobody in it except for snakebite... pretty creepy to me. It's like by going down this rabbit hole we're revealing the inconsistencies in Sopranos. These tiny elements in the show reflect how the characters are slightly "inhuman".
You could also argue that by my logic that since we created sopranos then we aren't "human" either. The reason why that's not true is because each civilization attempts to represent its own civilization through media, but they aren't completely accurate. That means that each layer is a slightly less accurate version of the last civilization, but they still reflect the previous civilization's ideals. So the people in Sopranos represent us, but they aren't us if that makes sense. They aren't human and their media shows that.
TLDR: the layers of shows inside of shows reveals that the civilization in Sopranos isn't human and is something darker.
Deep bro
I’m really wondering on what happens after they saw that female figure in that movie and the data was expunged
have you ever held one mirror up to another so that they reflect back and forth, and it looks like a tunnel that gets dimmer and dimmer the further you go? the light is only bouncing back and forth on the first two real mirrors, and each time a little light scatters away.
this is that, but in pataphysics. the deeper you go, the more fidelity is lost.

Someone actually made Garfield into an SCP and it's not a "J." That thing must have been on a rampage when Lasagnacat and the Garfield movie came out

@@benfawefwaeffwaefawfdekk2080 I think it should've been a -J. Having an official SCP like this kinda ruins the spirit of what the Foundation is, for me at least. But oh well.
So, if Physics are the rules that govern the World, Metaphysics are things that govern thode rules, gods and the such.
If that's the case, the Pataphysics govern the supreme rulers of the world. The writers, who think billions of gods into existance in moments.
Yes. Archetypes and ideals. The narrative in mind in the mind of the imagination of God.

Here's a concept that acquires fascinating meaning when applied to Pataphysics:
"All is one.
One is all.
As Above, so below."
The S.C.P. Universe is Our universe, and the SCP Wiki is a self-replicating red herring swarm, where truth can be hidden in plain sight. Which ones are real?
How's that for
As Above So Below is a pretty decent horror movie set in the Paris catacombs, recommend it 👍🏼
There are ritualistic SCPs that explain how to do the ritual. Someone out there must have done it at least once.
...Always has been
I mean, it was predicted that they the sarkics would create a new virus in the 31st of December 2019, and guess what
2020 is a anomaly change my mind
They actually made a scp based on the low rating and deletion policies
metaphysics < pataphysics < jiggle physics
I think a story which kinda puts this into a more comprehensive and not cosmic view is the Truman show. The idea that you are just a character in a story is somewhat frightening. What if you’re a side character doomed to die to move the story along? That shit is scary to think about
something similar that i just found is omniscient reader pov . v:
James Marsden in Westworld season one.
Hi again
We are all just side characters
Another good example is the Korean webtoon "Found by Chance", and the drama based on it, "Extraordinary You", in which the series' main character discovers that not only is she merely a side-character in a comic book, but she's engaged to someone who hates her, and she's going to die soon of a heart condition anyway. Naturally, she then engages in a plot to try and re-write her own destiny...
So... the science of the fourth wall.
Deadpool must have a PhD in Pataphysics then.
Betcha he's skating by on an Associate's and pure moxie at best.
Its ether that or he is the den at the omniversity giving lectures on the subject "The topology of the ontological landscape and the ecology of the metasphere"
@@adammoore4812 wouldn't be surprised if Mickey or Bugs was the founder.
Probably the best in the field
Given how She-Hulk did it with greater effect, actually walking over the gutters and using panel transitions to try on different clothes, I'd say she had at least a Masters Degree if not a Ph.D. Granted this was back a ways, so I'd say she lost her job at the omniversity.
I would just like to point out that according to one SCP every single end of the world class scenario should be accompanied by an angry Garfield made of lasagna beating the shit out of whatever’s causing the end of the world, since that would mean people aren’t consuming Garfield media anymore.
Pataphysics sounds like constant fourth wall breaking on a universal level.
I _think_ Robert Heinlein may have invented pataphysics. In his book, The Number of the Beast, he proposed the idea of _reality as a myth,_ in which every reality in a giant (but finite) multiverse is the product of a fiction author in another reality. There is no hierarchy, no Hume levels, or their equivalent, just a uniform set of equally fictitious and equally real realities.
Pataphysics was Alfred Jarry, pretty sure. Late 1800s, France, as a joke about Metaphysics.
I had a dream about a device that let people travel through other universes in that manner.
@@philmulliken7771 the science of imaginary solutions
@@gordopendejo944 and the laws that govern exceptions
Isn’t that still a hierarchy
...the concept of "crossover" in this universe must me especially interesting
Very. The idea is that the vibration between two universes suddenly on sync but it's less DC vs Marvel and more like metaphysical merging compared to amalgam universe. That's just my own theory tho.
Pataphysics: fancy way of saying “breaking the fourth wall.”
GurrenPrime Pretty much is once you think about it
It is the power of the God of Imagination. Whose plot are you in?
Yea but more aggressively
The diference is that "breaking the fourth wall" is just taking jabs at the story being ficticious or things like that, usually in a humorous manner, but the SCP foundation takes this instances dead seriously and tries to analize them in as much of a scientific manner as they can posibly can, which diferentiates "pataphysics" from something like deadpool just telling jokes for example

I've been waiting for so long for someone to tackle pataphysics. I find it to be a really underrated tag, since I never see anyone directly talk about it. They're honestly my favorite kind of SCPs, other than 050 and 579... the way they deal with the idea of a narrative and its relation to our reality and the Foundation's is something that's always intrigued me, and they way that 2747 turns out to be an instance of itself is probably the most brilliant twist ive ever seen on the site.
... i think there's one video on 2747 somewhere, but it's in Japanese.
Thank you very much for posting this video!
I have very mixed feelings about 'pataphysics concept in SCPverse.
First, the name itself is incorrect - 'pataphysics is just pseudoscience meant as parody of scientific method and discussion, mostly based on self-excluding concepts. More apt name would be "narrative engineering" or something like that.
Second point is that 'pataphysics skips and tales tend to be overcomplicated and too fancy, often without any logic or justification behind them. It just is this way and point. However, some are really well made. Personally, I prefer Antimemetics Division hub and SCPs than 'Pataphysics.
@@baltofarlander2618 I've always thought that the Pataphysics in SCP was different from 'pataphysics
@@glassesmanclefdraski7999
Ir is, there’s probably some similarities in the logic given how dumb you have to be to think parodying science is the move, but in the SCP universe it just expands dimensionality to include perceptual ones where we can render reality in our universe while they use no actual matter relative to us.
If they structured pataphysics more, to make layering narrative either harder or traveling and manifestation within them much much harder, it would be like simulation theory, a maybe in terms of real life but still not something we can ever actually know for sure
Reminds me of a concept I thought of years ago.
Imagine a _perfect_ simulation of our universe, which runs sequentially from the very beginning, but much faster than real time, so that it eventually catches up to the current time.
In that universe, the same simulation must be created, inevitably. This leads to an infinitely nested simulated realities, all running on one computer. Every computer has a limit to how much it can process at once before it crashes. In other words, the simulation must crash at some point, and because each universe is running faster than the one above it, that deadline comes exponentially closer.
But how do we know we're at the top? How do we know we won't be wiped out too, when it crashes? And if our being wiped out is wrong, then can we morally shut down our computer, killing all those universes too?
Also, remember, the universe below is faster than us. Its actions are a perfect predictor of ours. So if _we_ stop the simulation, and _we_ aren't the top layer, that means it's only a matter of time before the ones above us do the same.
And, mathematically, the probability that we are a specific one thing among an infinite collection is...0.
Bro why don't you post this thought experiment on philosophy stackexchange?
I can't remember the name of it, but there is a short story that has a concept like this. A group of scientists create a computer that perfectly simulates our reality, and play it up to the present. The scientists discover themselves building the computer in this simulation and then watching its computer simulate their reality perfectly. They then have to grapple with the realisation that there is a massively greater chance that they are not at the top of the simulation pile, and that whatever they do to the simulation will cascade down the realities.
Also, don't turn the simulation off.
Well, it’s a 50/50 really.
Either we are one of the simulations and have yet to make our own,
Or we are the first.
@@chr0n0s17 thats like saying its 50/50 that you will find a needle in a hay stack because there are only two possible options, there is far more hey(simulations) then the one needle(the single non simulation)
@@mistermidenight he's right though, doesn't matter if it's 50/50 if the computer thing becomes real then we are shutting it off. No point in delaying and living in a fake reality.

Last time I was this early, someone still knew how the foundation was started
This explains SCP 3812 better, as the SCP itself becomes pataphysical and begins "ascending". After all, it's explained that "higher" beings view our world as one would watch a show or, in the context of the SCP, a conic book
Pataphysical, as a whole, sounds like cosmic awareness or cosmic/reality affectation. It sounds an awful lot like the scientific gobbledygook that is "Breaking the fourth wall", or "Blurring the lines of fiction and reality"
Addendum: This is similiar to how Comic books, TV shows, and other forms of media use meta humor, or develop awareness of their fictitious existence, can have a plethora of affects on.....well, everything. It's almost enough to give real life people an existential crisis like some of the characters in media. Which, to myself at least, is astounding and delicious. I've always been curious about scenarios like this.
Side note: SCP-3166 is one of my favorite Pataphysical Anomalies. Very Gross, but still one of my favorites.
Pataphysics and that one SCP-001 proposal hit especially hard for me because MY name is Andrew Swann.
Oofffff
*”Are you worth remembering?” Overall? No. In the scp wiki? I never existed to begin with.*
*Im simply just another sentient entity in this never ending torment that is reality.*
I honestly love all the meta and meta-meta stuff on the wiki, really makes your head work. And I also love the idea of narratives that the Foundation has been using as of late, of layers stacked on each other. Something about it is just fascinating, from finding strange figures and the demiurge itself when going too deep to a spiral and devourer of universe destroying capabilities
Pataphysics basically just sounds like fiction crossing into reality, with the two capable of messing with each other. This can also apply to Canons where the foundation universe becomes aware of it's own fictional existence, and both our reality and their reality are capable of messing with each other to a certain extent. It's basically the same definition whichever way you look at it. I personally am very conflicted with the concept with Pataphysics. Specifically when it gets overlay meta, with the foundation acknowledging their fictional existence. But in in-universe cases such as SCP-3166 (Garfield), I'm more preferring of those. Also, I like the Garfield SCP in general, it's definitely unique.
So basically, pataphysics is like how Deadpool knows he's a Marvel comic/cartoon/movie/video game character and breaks the 4th wall all the time to talk to the reader/audience/gamer. Got it.
26:37 gave me goosebumps since Im a huge radiohead fan and can actually imagine an album like this, as if it existed
The closest we have is The King Of Limbs
This is one of the craziest scps I love this.
I think this would be an amazing movie story, an organisation that investigated anomaly and ends up going into t.v shows
That one where they keep going layers deeper into television and end up finding the bottom, top, or whatever, of their existence was so neat.

On a more distracting note, the characters in the captain underpants books know they are in a book. Thus, if they performed the book ritual, things would get really interesting for us.
I love me some pataphysics, and I'm glad you finally did a video covering it. I'm slightly disappointed you didn't talk about 5309 tho. Its a surprisingly unique take when it comes to pataphysics, as it addresses how the readers and their headcanon effect lower realities. I wish more articles focused on that, as almost all of them tend to focus more on how authors effect the lower realities, or examples of lower characters somehow effecting a higher reality
One of my favorite pataphysical anomalies, or set of anomalies, is the S&C Plastics or Sloth’s Pit hub. Lots of nice spooky scary narrative manipulation.
As good as some pataphysical SCPs can be, I really wish they had never been created. It set off a chain reaction that can best be described as an escalating meta mess that people keep adding to. It really reminds me of the proliferation of self-insert SCPs in the early days except everyone supports it instead of groaning in frustration.
Yeah. ItYeah. It is a pity that this is already being used for the cosmology of the foundation. For me, many pataphysicians are delirium.
@@RimTerm that’s why headcannon>whatever dumb thing that winds up being important. I don’t blame people for taking these concepts to such huge lengths but they are confusing and they really don’t work for actual cosmology as even if you could write a book and create a universe, it would just be simulation theory but with a free migraine.
Pataphyisics could make some amazing cosmic horror concepts, but trying to force so many layers you lose understanding because of convoluted semi relationship interactions instead of just the beyond context nature of something like realizing one day you actually were an NPC.
It can be done well but it is also a crutch for whatever bullshit someone got really high and decided to make a SCP
"What if I told you that Morpheus never says 'what if I told you'?"
The red lighting as a result of going "too deep" is interesting. it's exactly what happened in the basket ball game tape SCP 1730, "Season Opener".
Its also what happened in the one about the Legend of zelda game with a self aware Link.
“Basically they went too deep and they’re not liking what they’re seeing”
Why does it feel like 2747’s destroyed narratives are referencing/inspired by actual stories?
Are they inspired by other media and web series or something else cause that’s what it feels like.
That's to give the SCP an extra layer of depth. By making the destroyed narratives resemble pieces of fiction irl, it is subtly implied that the SCP has manifested itself already in our dimension, and all of us could be annihilated any second. Hell, the very fact that the SCP universe refers to something that doesn't actually exist implies that it was SCP 2747 that destroyed the Foundation. Very clever piece of writing
Prashanth Raghavendran An very creative and subtle way to make this SCP more terrifying and deadly.

᛬ᚹᛁᛚᚺᛖᛚᛗ᛫ᛋᛖ᛫ᛚᛇᚱᚾᛁᛝᛣᚾᛁᚺᛏ᛬ what did I say that was odd? Sorry if it made you uncomfortable

Wow, I knew the SCP universe was weird and freaky but then you find out that it's just the entrance to the rabbit hole of crazy, weird, scary and people who have the most bizzare ideas.
Wanna see me describe Anafabula?
An old story, forgotten by many.
One shard of the god of flesh,
two thousand automata serving MEKHANE,
the guardians who stave off the third Hytoth,
they who were gathered by the four gospels,
the eyes who watch the stars die in fives,
and the six-fingered serpentine hand,
all gathered to seal the king in red robes,
away from his brides, to rot alone, forever.
His followers disbanded, his children are gone,
and yet he laughed, as his seals broke over,
and over,
and over,
and over,
and over,
and over again.
Sure of his return, of his triumph, he proclaimed:
"Seven brides, seven spears, seven gates for the Scarlet King!"
But the lady of black thorns was clever,
and sealed the king in his own tale,
the marks of his liberation becoming those of his demise,
and so, too late, he realized
that the number seven was never his.
Wanna see me [DATA DESTROYED]
So a broad who can manipulate stories and used that to beat good ol' SK.
I would also argue that SCP-3812 A Voice Behind Me and SCP-5999 This is Where I Died both count as Pataphysics SCPs.
SCP-3812 definitely does , don't know about SCP-5999 because i haven't read that yet.
Me: Wow, sounds interesting, this is gonna get meta real quick
Exploring series: *Lasagna filled Garfield made from Jim Davis’ flesh*
For those who don't know, Pataphysics is an actual thing. It's a bizarre quasi-philosophy invented by the French surrealist playwright and novelist, Alfred Jarry, in the early 1900's.
i LOVE the sopranos one. The concept, I don't know where i've had it before, but i feel like this is a concept thats been with my for a while. You know the backrooms? This scp is how you would get to them. This is the interpretation i agree with.
From the SCP Foundation,
to the Garfield comic,
to Too Many Cooks . . . .
So, meta physics is breaking the fourth wall, and pataphysics is turning back around to look at the other three walls?
Pataphysics is breaking through the fourth wall, turning around to look at the other 3 walls, while leaning back against the Fifth wall.
What if the foundation already found a way to "change the level" of realities the way you described it in 3812. Imagine if they had "moved" us below them already...
Then why not change it so anomalies won't ruin us them make us may be up so that anything we rise above is filled with normalcy instead of anomalies and thus so stopping manyfoundations from existing and by doing so
Save entropy and slow the death of the universe
And so save us from entropius death
@@Sundancer127 that makes way too much sense. Clearly you must be an anomaly, come with us. Trust me the van is very comfortable
12:23 random sekrio art piece while discussing pataphysics 😂
This is a true “ignorance is bliss” situation
SCP-2614 is a recent favorite of mine, so it's nice to hear it covered in this video.
I’ve watched al your exploring scp videos. Binged the whole playlist. Now I don’t know what to do with my life.
I'm surprised that SCP-2614 wasn't made by "Are We Cool Yet?"
Another pataphysical SCP worth mentioning would be SCP-048, a number that was retired from the Foundation's database because every specimen given that number has been lost and/or destroyed, and personnel assigned to this number tend to suffer misfortune of some kind.
Meta wise, it's a jab at the fact that 048 has been associated with some of the worst stories the wiki has ever published, including something called the "Vampyre Boat."
Also, I appreciate you finally talking about 2747.
I was hoping this might touch on SCP-2786. That was my first experience with anything pataphysical. I was also thinking about SCP- 3812 but you have covered it independently. Although maybe I don’t understand pataphysics. Cool video though. The science of breaking the fourth wall of reality.
Boundary Break: "The Sopranos"
Outstanding art work of these worlds .
A mix and match type of scenarios .
With people in the foreground and mechanized objects in the background whether or not they work , left standing there from some forgotten past .
Love It .
Ikr
even if a bit whimsical, the way things like 4010, 001 and 3309 weave together in such a brilliant tapestry o narrative cloth is... enjoyable.
I went through some of your earlier "Exploring" videos in the recent days and I was impressed with the improvement in narration, ambience and general quality, you have made through the years. Your videos were always great, but they have really evolved to become amazing. You're awesome man
I've had this idea about the layers of fiction. That bit of god emanating man and man emanating art clicked with me in particular.
We create create fiction and that world creates fiction and that world creates fiction and it's turtles all the way down. Turtles all the way up too. It would be arrogant to assume we are the level directly below God. If God is infinite then his creation is infinite.
We spiral down into the next layer of creation forever, speaking the first words into the void and making light. God then works through us and we reenact genesis.
God is everything including all the layers. If we are spiraling then God is the spiral, the golden spiral. That is at least how he takes shape in our universe, the spiral being a ubiquitous shape in nature from galaxies to hurricanes to DNA strands.
It's the source like Jack Kirby wrote about. The essence of creation from the cosmic to the artistic and everytime we create we are tapping into the source.
Anyways, good video but it needed more Garfield. 7/10
Do you feel the presence of god?
@@pixelcount350 Nah. I use God more in the poetic sense of the the universe or of existence itself. I certainly don't believe in the traditional christian sense of a conscious creator that is all-knowing and all-good. I'm more partial to the eastern concept of a universal mind or viewing "God" as all the physical laws of the universe working in conjunction. In that way, humans are made in the image of God in that our bodies run on the same laws and life itself was created by the mechanics of chemistry playing out in the great enormity of space. Both unplanned, yet inevitable. Both made by God and made from God, reiteration of God, a mirror to the brilliance of the cosmos. As above, so below. Spiraling through our art.
So you are saying that Steel Ball Run had an actual base on filosophy and Jesus inventing spinning is actually deep and thought provoking? Man, who would have guessed that deep filosophy topics are a Jojo reference
Did they try to pull back the camera out of the sopranos? In the second one. That would have been trippy
I feel the need to reassure people that there's nothing for us to fear from the lower layers.
There is a man with the power to escape this description of him and manifest in a corporeal form next to whoever reads it, which he will do whenever the description is read. Once out, he will politely call attention to himself, and then return to his description.
See, I can't even create something harmless.
That's probably how Bob Ross came to be, because he is to wholesome for this world...
@Ray Brudbary yeah?
“I am the voice and the voice is me”
2:45 Author says drunk driver. Head canon says Dr. Gerald in a Little Tykes car
I love your dedication to crediting other creators. It warms my heart.
I wish there was a big cool leatherback book that contained every scp , I would definitely buy , need it on my shelf
This man needs more likes
This could possibly have merit in the whole “we live in a simulation” theory depending on how much that simulation is controlling us
we would only know if we live in a simulator if "they" allow us to know
7:02 that's the Two Suns of Amonkhet from Magic: The Gathering
5:22
So that's how that boundary break dude does his stuff.
So we basically take the camera anywhere we want
Been staring at my ceiling for 3 hours thaaaaaaaank you it's 2 am
Pretty difficult to surprise me but after watching this.
Mind blown
Thanks for the video! I was struggling with wrapping my head completely around SCP-2747 after having read the article multiple times. Your summary was concrete and eloquent.
Love that you keep doing these, some of my favorite content on youtube.
Surprised you didn’t mention “The Hero” in this one. Was happy you focused on ones I hadn’t read yet though!
Also SCP 2747 was impossible for me to understand from reading the article, so I appreciate you explaining it for us!
I recommend looking at SCP Declassified or the discussion pages for confusing SCPs, as they often shed light on what’s going on.
You should do more of these pataphysics scps, you could even make it a series
As always, these vids are amazing. I always look forward to listening to them while I’m at work. Thanks for the awesome content!
A pathaphisical concept I really like is Grant Morrison's comic book limbo, a place in which all characters creates by DC comics that aren't currently in use reside, what's funny is that whenever limbo features in a story it's structure weakens because it isn't supposed to be represented in side comics
Yes
Based off title and thumbnail im thinking of some sorts that affects the SCP Universe and is a law of something ex. Law of Physics. This could be a phenomenon as well. Or this can be a purely philosophical to the SCP universe as whole. Last guess (based off the thumbnail) is a Cognito hazard of some sort as Cognito hazards that are documented and have pictures are usally something abstract like the one guarding the SCP 001 case file(s).
Layers of reality a of the multiple multiversal and omniversal realities so deep it's scary
I wonder how bad things would be if 1354 (the first one) involved killing an author insert. I mean, like a Cat’s Cradle author insert, not a Mary Sue or “Cathedral” esque insert. What level of narrative would the author end up on? Ours? Truly into the fictional world? Hard to say, since it’s unclear what level of narrative they were on in the first place.
Man I needed this way more then you'll ever know. Thanks mate!
16:48 holy shit that scared the fuck outta me. I'm a bit buzzed and looked away for a few seconds and came back to that fullscreen. F in the chat for my heartrate.
