Anomalous Symptoms Repository
Document Reference: REP-600-11
The Anomalous Symptoms Repository (REP-600-11) catalogues discrete anomalous effects — phenomena that recur across multiple anomalies rather than belonging to any single one. Effects are referenced from case documentation by their Entry number rather than re-described per case, so that response remains consistent across the corpus.
The Repository is a standing registry maintained over the Bureau's operational history; entries are added as casework identifies and canonizes new effects. The table below reproduces the entries currently cross-referenced by active casework. Entry numbers are canonical and stable; gaps in the sequence reflect entries maintained elsewhere in the registry and not reproduced here.
Tier notation. Where an effect presents in graded intensity, it carries a Tier (loosely 1–5 per Compendium §11; higher numbers indicate stronger or more sustained presentation). Most effects are not graded and carry no Tier; the notation is applied only where intensity meaningfully varies.
| Entry | Effect | Tier | Clinical description | Standard response | Cross-refs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 03 | Perceptual drift | 1–2 | Low-grade ambient distortion of sensory processing during or after perceptual/cognitive exposure — minor misregistration of colour, depth, motion, or sound, without structured hallucination. The mildest and most common perceptual effect. | Removal from exposure and observation; resolves without intervention. Recurrence on re-exposure is not an escalation. | Precursor band of Entry 24 |
| 11 | Déjà-vu (graded) | 1–5 | Anomalous familiarity response — conviction the present moment was previously experienced — from temporal/cognitive exposure rather than memory; high tiers bring sustained certainty of repetition and anticipatory recall. | Tier 1–2 none; at Tier 3, consult Division Handler, withdraw, and screen (SC-900-05); persistence referred to OPM-NCAR. | CASE-1870 |
| 19 | Memetic compulsion | — | Induced compulsion to perform an action, adopt a belief, or pursue an object, originating from exposure but experienced as self-generated; persists while the stimulus is present and may outlast it. | Removal from stimulus; cognitive screening (SC-900-05). Memetic Resistance Certification raises the onset threshold, not immunity (PR-400-71). Persistent compulsion treated under PR-400-20. | CASE-1088, CASE-1465 |
| 24 | Perceptual cascade | Graded (residual ↔ acute) | Progressive, self-reinforcing perceptual distortion; an initial misregistration recruits further misregistration. The residual form persists after exposure, commonly as a sourceless sensation of being observed. | Removal from exposure; observation. Residual resolves over days to weeks; acute requires screening and may require PR-400-20. | CASE-0092 (residual); Entry 03 |
| 29 | Cognitive bleeding | — | Leakage of content between cognitive domains that should stay separate — material from a contained anomaly, another subject, or a suppressed memory intruding as knowledge the subject does not recognise as their own. | Cognitive screening (SC-900-05); isolation from the originating context. Treated under PR-400-20 where content persists. | — |
| 33 | Temporal fugue | — | Dissociative decoupling of experienced chronology from external time — confusion over the duration or sequence of recent events without memory deficit for their content. Body and position remain in ordinary time. | Removal from exposure; reorientation against an external clock; observation. | Entry 61 |
| 38 | Ontological drift | Graded | Gradual erosion of the stable sense of what is real, true, or self; distinctions ordinarily held without effort become uncertain. Low tiers present as philosophical unease, high tiers as failure to hold basic reality distinctions. | Removal from exposure; cognitive screening. Higher tiers treated under PR-400-21. | — |
| 47 | Ideational crystallization | — | Pre-existing convictions accelerated and structured into an articulated, internally consistent doctrine experienced as the subject's own synthesis; supplies organisation, not content. Precursor phase: ideational structuring. | Withdraw from exposure (subject often passes evaluation; no finding required — PR-400-71 §2). PR-400-20 (Class III–IV) where indicated. | CASE-0019; observer form sympathetic ideation |
| 52 | Temporal scarring | — | Lasting injury from perceiving an event that has not yet occurred — registered as memory, with the weight of something already survived; produces grief or guilt for an event not yet in the timeline. | Cognitive screening; PR-400-20 / PR-400-21 as indicated. Class II suppression where the perceived event is itself distressing. | CASE-0092 |
| 58 | Consciousness-displacement | — | Displacement of the seat of self — perspective observed from outside, or the body felt as occupied or "borrowed"; severe cases produce behaviour or knowledge the subject does not recognise as their own. | Immediate removal; cognitive screening; continuous monitoring, including REM sleep where indicated. Treated under PR-400-21. | CASE-0666 |
| 61 | Temporal displacement | — | Divergence of a subject's experienced and biological elapsed time from external time during temporal/dimensional exposure; the subject may age or fail to age inconsistently, or return displaced in time. Often asymptomatic. | Reconcile against an external clock on return (PR-400-74); assess biological-age divergence; observe. No treatment restores lost or gained time. | CASE-1212; Entry 33 |
