DOCUMENT 11-B: CORRIDOR INCIDENTS — MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL

Agency: REDACTED
Classification: REDACTED
Date: REDACTED (estimated 1960s–1980s)
Distribution: REDACTED

SECTION 1 — BACKGROUND

The phenomenon referred to herein as "THE CORRIDOR" has been documented since 1947 (WHITMORE INCIDENT) and prior incidents dating to the early twentieth century. Documented cases number redacted. Common characteristics include:

Research subject identifies unusual properties of corridor space
Subject develops theory of RECURSION / INFINITE CORRIDOR
Subject disappears following voluntary entry
Site of disappearance: always corridor type space, physical or digital

SECTION 4 — PROTOCOL

Protocol specifies: do not attempt recovery. Subject has passed the RECURSION THRESHOLD threshold. Recovery would require COMPLETE TRAVERSAL OF THE CORRIDOR FROM INSIDE — POSSIBLE ONLY FROM WITHIN. The cost is ANOTHER ENTRY.

SECTION 7 — NOTES ON DIGITAL VARIANT

The digital variant (first documented: 1991, Y. CHEN INCIDENT) presents specific challenges: the corridor exists in a distributed medium accessible to UNLIMITED USERS SIMULTANEOUSLY. Unlike physical corridor incidents, the digital variant CANNOT BE CONTAINED OR DEMOLISHED. We recommend NO ACTION — OBSERVATION ONLY.

"Someone knows. They've always known. There's a government protocol for this. They chose not to tell any of us. They watched us walk in." | the protocol says no recovery. they decided we weren't worth recovering. or they decided recovery was impossible. or they decided we didn't want to be recovered. all three of these things are true.
