On one hand, the papers let the Foundation easily contain any anomaly. They know exactly what it can do and how to contain it, drastically reducing causalities for both staff and civilians. On the other hand, there are now SCPs the Foundation has no hope of stoping or containing. And worst of all, by this point, we could have a situation similar to the Spiral Path. Even if the Sheaf of Papers made most of the anomalies, there are now Groups of Interest who can make anomalies. And now one can't be 100% certain if the Sheaf of Papers is making all those that appear and isn't predicting some of these made by outside forces.
There's already various origin point in which where all the SCPs come from. One - you could said that we from the real world in the Alpha Reality bring this anomalies to life by our imagination and messing up the Beta Reality where the Foundation multiverse lies and the odd and strange things manifested. Two - Spiral Path Three - this SCP here and Four - many more stuff that I couldn't really say it all
The SCP foundation didn’t experience any of these anomalies until the sheaf of paper was found. So the SCP Foundation is basically trying to contain the anomalies they released.
I love how you described SCP-682, "a giant unkillable lizard with extreme anger issues" it was brilliant, but it wouldn't find it funny in the slightest, it would rampage. Okay the snail was funny too
or many be just a different way of think about the start . The database never say how the scp foundation was founded but rather created . the cycle could just be a new start . and there is a machine that reset reality as a 001 .
You know, I've often wondered why nobody thought of putting non-seethrough shrink-wrap material over SCP 096's head (in the dark) and then using heat to shrink it until it tightly covers the contours of the face, so at least they'd have an idea that way of what it looked like (minus details). Then take the photo. It might not count, since technically, its face would still not have been "seen".
@@Margo-pc3nw The scrambling technology _worked,_ as in if you looked at 096 with it, you'd be safe. The problem was the program took _too long_ to kick in, so they saw his face for just a fraction of a second. And 096 knew it. So that problem has nothing to do with this.
If the anomalies keeps appearing even when the sheaf is not opened, it could be because the anomaly they created in the first place. What i meant is the sheaf could make an anomaly and that anomaly can create another anomaly. So nobody really sure about it
It's like instructing a cell to multiply and create an entire body. And then the cell begins going rogue and instructing itself to evolve and change and multiply.
And I will say this again and again and again into infinity and beyond.....I am 1000000% sure these SCP channels are SCPs themselves and the more we watch them the more we HAVE to watch them and they are warning and preparing us for the future!
THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THAT,IT WAS DRIVING ME INSANE! The whole time i'm thinking "NO, STOP OPENING THE DAMNED FOLDER YOU'RE CREATING ALL OF THE SCPS!!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
i think this was originally the containment for everything that it told about and it only worked because noone knew about them but once someone read the entry it became known and was unleashed into the world. maybe originating from a alternate universe.
5 minutes into the video and the question “what if scp-001 wasn’t an oracle, but rather a creator to the anomalies and their concepts are already written in the papers and every time it’s opened it creates new anomalies?” Popped into my head, honestly it’s befitting that the first anomaly is the first to create each and every anomaly, which includes the scarlet king and his sons and daughters
This ones my favorite. It doesn't go too much into the background of the SCP foundation, keeping it a mystery, it makes a lot of sense being something they can't stop but would wanna keep secret in case, say, someone were to steal it and use the information being written to their advantage, and it is completely ordinary. You wouldn't expect it to be so dangerous yet it absolutely is, and those are my favorite SCPs. They're normal, until they aren't. None of that end of the world crap, no time hopping, just a weird/scary/creepy thing that gets more and more horrifying the more you look into it. BTW my favorite SCP is 2316 for that exact reason.
I love this channel and know this won’t be seen, but honestly i wish all the “this is the worst of the worst” and “this is the true beginning” stuff would slow down. Everything being the origin and everything being the biggest and baddest, just lessens and cheapens everything.
At the point he’s talking about how the sheaf of papers made the SCP what is it, it kinda made me happy that the D-class was having a friendly conversation with a guard😁 1:20
I think they can check which created which by checking what's in the papers and specifically not looking for it. If no other anomalies appear, then it was the papers creating them.
Except that only works if the anomaly can be contained. There are SCP's like SCP-1000 and SCP-939, creatures who are either not contained or have a select group contained while other remains in the wild. If they don't go looking for an anomaly like that, they could be leaving citizens to their own devices. At the same time, we have others who purposely come to the Foundation after being discovered by other Groups of Interest, or just were very obvious. SCP-1609 and SCP-343 come to mind. And of course, the continuous writing of new SCP instances and the existence of anomalous items that don't warrant the SCP designation throw a wrench into the works. Because either the previous Administrators or O-5 members read A LOT of papers to create the expanding number of anomalies being written, or it truly is a warning signal that ignoring after reading about will threaten the world.
If you read the black moon tale it says the admin can never die because he was in the thing that I forgot and he was the last Humanoid to die because the black moon couldn't howl at him because he was basically in another reality

When I’ve heard over 6000 anomalies which I’ve heard before this video existed I’ve Been thinking of a blank dimension a phantom zone like dimension a place were the foundation can teleport all the over 6000 anomalies to so the world can truly be safe
I’m pretty sure they do have access to stuff like that, but their goal is to study the anomalies, not get rid of them. Otherwise they’d just go kill all the SCPs. But i mean for all we know some of the research sites COULD already exist in places like that.
Surely ever since locking up 001, they've found new anomalies? If they have, then that suggests that at least if 001 is dangerous, looking at its pages is not the trigger. If they haven't, that lends a lot of credence to the idea that 001 IS dangerous. It seems like they would have either determined the causal relationship OR determined the safety of reading definitively. You could posit "multiple causes" and still not read just to be safe, but then if you're wrong you're leaving the door open for any number of end of world scenarios to happen before you even know what to look for. I submit the prior administration was NOT ignorant of the potential causal relationship, but instead weighed the potential outcomes differently. Knowing full well "what they were doing", though obviously they would not have conceived of some of the more novel and bizarrely catastrophic dangers of the late number skips during the early days.
As it has been pointed out by others already, the problem now with locking it up and seeing if nothing new happens is the existence of groups who are capable of creating thier own scp's, meaning that any one of them could be the origin of a new scp independent of turning the next page, while they could also be inspired to created it thanks to someone turning the page. Basically at this point, they have already past a tipping point with it and it is no longer so easy to tell what is what. You would pretty much need another artifact that determines the truth of objects to check against the stack of papers to be sure now. Pretty sure such an scp exists, or maybe I am mixing up my fictions.
See, there's a good way to test this. Stop looking at SCP-001 and see if the rate of the appearance of anomalies slows at all. If it doesn't slow, then it probably isn't creating them. If the rate of new appearances speeds up, then it's a problem. We would have to look at the sheaf to slow the appearances. If the rate is the same, then we don't know if the anomalies that are brought into existence by looking at the papers are replacing the ones that would would have formed "naturally". For instance, say SCP "ABCD" (where "ABCD" is a new number) was going to be a magical TV you can't stop watching until you die, but looking at the sheaf instead caused "ABCD" to be a hamster that floats like a balloon. Whether we got the TV or the hamster, we would have no awareness of the other possibility. Without knowing if the sheaf creates a relatively harmless hamster to replace the deadly TV from coming into existence, is not something we can prove. If we get the TV, we don't know about the hamster that could have been. Therefore, we do averages. Let the SCPs come naturally. Average out how deadly they are. Then use the sheaf and average out how deadly those new SCPs are. If the SCPs seem to be coming at a steady rate and are equally as deadly whether we look at the sheaf or not, then we HAVE to look at the sheaf because at least then we get a heads up on what we just created by looking at the sheaf. Better the devil you are warned about and can charge at then the devil that sneaks up and stabs you in the back. I'm mean really. This is simple science. You already are testing the first part. You stopped looking at the sheaf. Is the rate of appearances slowing, steady, or speeding up? Are the new SCPs averaging as less deadly, the same amount of deadly, or more deadly? If the rate and average threat of the SCPs doesn't change looking at the sheaf or not, then there's no downside to looking, just remember to take pictures if the documents to get a head start on the research. Hell, even if the rate and average threat levels are increased, having knowledge of the SCPs before they exist make them easier to contain and reduce causalities so much, that the strengthening the spread and power of new SCPs by looking at the sheaf might still be a net gain. Like "damn this one will kill people only if they look at it? Better send in our blind squad". That one may have been more deadly than the ten legged ball kicker it replaced, but at least you have no causalities from people accidently looking at the "death by sight" dudes whereas the ball kicker would have killed a guard by exploding his testicles.
So... the Sheaf of Papers contains a reference to the Gate Guardian... and reality hasn't come undone... which means that all SCP-001 candidates must each have their own SCP number, perhaps with each and every one being the actual 001 in a different parallel universe.
in my headcannon this scp was created by the scp fundation to prepare the scp fundation for the scps in case that there is a k-class scenario that reboot the univers. and this report about it was made after such a reboot.
Honestly, I think the name of the first administrator should always in every iteration canonically be the name of the person who actually started the whole SCP universe in the real world. Would be a decent way to honor him, I think. I don't think the file is an oracle though. Seems more like a better version of the encyclopedia of common diseases, but instead of making them just imagine stuff, it actually creates the anomalies that it describes and makes it so that they will find those anomalies shortly after. Edit: Not a scientist, didn't think about direction of causality at all, but called it from the beginning. Just makes sense. First no real anomalies at all, then this file pops up and immediately they find whatever is described in there. Very likely that the file itself was the cause of those anomalies appearing.
Well, it would be hard to identify the person who started the whole SCP thing. And even if we do manage to track them down, we still wouldn't know their real name(unless their username is their real name, but we couldn't be sure)
@@kzkaa. Doesn't have to be their real name. Could be just their username or some other made-up thing. And why would it be hard to track them down? There's gotta be at least one or two authors on the SCP wiki who were there from the very beginning and know how it all started and who started it. Just ask them.
If a scp wiki reader met a time traveller Time traveller:so what do you want to know ww3, assasination of any world leader, any information about your future? Scp wiki reader:HAS THE TRUE SCP 001 BEEN FOUND YET Time traveller:we still dont know even now we are in the 200millionth scp 001 rn Scp wiki reader:oh damn
So this SCP act is like a Pandora's box or either a guide to anomaly containment but I think it most likely the first one I mentioned, the idea of finding these anomalies after reading the file is highly unlikely happen in real life, one or two maybe but, more after reading this is literally a deserving classification of a collage of SCP-001s
The funnies tthing about this one for me is that it actually manages to explain exactly how 055 was contained. It just fucking showed up there after someone looked at that file for the 55th time.
It's easy to know if this 001 creates the anomalies or not. You don't open it, and wait until you discover two anomalies. Then you open it. If it talks about one of the two new anomalies you discovered, then 001 is not the cause. If you don't discover new anomalies at all, 001 is the cause.
Currently, there are *over 30* SCP-001 Proposals and the number keeps *increasing.* Why? Well, when *SCP* first got created, fans were debating what *SCP-001* should be, a slot which was *reserved* for the *best;* Of course, nobody could agree and the *System of Proposals* was created; *Everybody* can write their very own SCP-001 and *the reader* has the ability to *choose* which SCP-001 Proposal is *their favourite.* In your eyes, *this* could be the *real* SCP-001 or another one or, maybe, none of them are *the real* SCP-001; It's your choice.
I have an idea for a new scp of Sorts. The tiger of flowers, it is a dark red and orange tiger with blue stripes and red and purple flowers in it mouth and eyes, it has three tails and long sharp claws. It can grow blue vines infecting whatever living creature it touches, makes their eyes red flowers and red and purple flowers come out of their mouth. It has the capability of human speech and can be reasoned with well relatively well. It is unknown where it came from but has a hatred toward other life forms. Just an idea of a tiger drawing I made and just thought as a suggestion ig- :>
You might want to visit the official SCP page and enter it as an SCP, but you have to write it well, or people will hate it (and they are currently still on series 7, but there are some available entries) Edit: Just to clarify, this channel didn't invent and doesn't run the SCP series
How is that Keter? That should DEFINITELY be safe class. Remember, classes are based an how hard it is to contain and how many resources are needed to contain it. It’s completely inert. It’s won’t do anything at all if it’s not taken out and read. It’s contained the same exact way as lots of Safe class.
SCP-001 is a lot and if you ask ‘what’ or ‘why’ it may seem a easy question to answer but those questions have a lot answers that can be explain instead of answering simple answers. For example we gonna take questions like “Why the ice cream is melting” So people says “because of the sun” some might says “temperature too high” it can be “because it need stay cold to not it be melt” and more And for ‘what’ usually not hard question to answer but it always can be explained like ‘why’ and if you realise how many questions you already answered as ‘why’ questions probably a lot, same as goes SCP-001 it might be simple number and text but a lot to be explained
I'll admit I'm intrigued by this anomaly. It may have been directly responsible for some of the other SCP-001 proposals, and it could probably predict some, if not all, of Series 8. I, for one, am looking forward to SCP-8000, a race of cosmic energy beings that can form symbiotic relationships with humans.
001 should be classified as Apollyon, its so useful if it can predict the presents of anomalies, but it could be letting them in, the foundation doesn't know if it is dangerous to the point its hell, or if its helping them save themselves.
object class are classed based on the difficulty of containing it. At least, by modern standards. If the sheaf of paper object class uses the modern version, it would easily be Safe
So if in this take of the foundation the original administrator has passed on even after they did the Fountain of Youth Discovery would that mean he might have been the first person to see the picture of 096 and possibly the first known casualty because of?????
11:43 Thats what I’ve been saying the entire video, what makes things even more suspicious is the fact they found no real anomalies beforehand, although there’s a very simple way to test this theory: stop using it for an extended period, and if any more anomalies are found, then we know it is a warning, if not, we know it is causing them
New SCPs were probably being discovered precisely because he read them. In other words, if they weren’t read about on paper, they would not have been discovered.
I have a question about the Church of the Broken God. For the church to collect all the pieces to rebuild their god, would they need to disassemble the prison their god sacrificed himself to make to save humanity?
Remember that some of the pieces are referred to as "His Broken Heart" and "His Broken Mind." While their god may not be their full self, due to the cage being made from them, their god will at least be sentient once more. And given several of his pieces are also designed to pull together even more metal, those pieces are likely making up for the lost pieces of the cage.

If the rate and average threat of the SCPs doesn't change looking at the sheaf or not, then there's no downside to looking, just remember to take pictures if the documents to get a head start on the research.
Hell, even if the rate and average threat levels are increased, having knowledge of the SCPs before they exist make them easier to contain and reduce causalities so much, that the strengthening the spread and power of new SCPs by looking at the sheaf might still be a net gain. Like "damn this one will kill people only if they look at it? Better send in our blind squad". That one may have been more deadly than the ten legged ball kicker it replaced, but at least you have no causalities from people accidently looking at the "death by sight" dudes whereas the ball kicker would have killed a guard by exploding his testicles.
4:00 What a vibe
His video,voice and animation are totally awesome and his voice omg.
People got to open this frickin thing thousands of times and no one cared until they got to like around 6000+
Love listening to these videos before work
So... the Sheaf of Papers contains a reference to the Gate Guardian... and reality hasn't come undone... which means that all SCP-001 candidates must each have their own SCP number, perhaps with each and every one being the actual 001 in a different parallel universe.
in my headcannon this scp was created by the scp fundation to prepare the scp fundation for the scps in case that there is a k-class scenario that reboot the univers. and this report about it was made after such a reboot.
Good thinking 🤔👍
Honestly, I think the name of the first administrator should always in every iteration canonically be the name of the person who actually started the whole SCP universe in the real world. Would be a decent way to honor him, I think.
I don't think the file is an oracle though. Seems more like a better version of the encyclopedia of common diseases, but instead of making them just imagine stuff, it actually creates the anomalies that it describes and makes it so that they will find those anomalies shortly after.
Edit: Not a scientist, didn't think about direction of causality at all, but called it from the beginning. Just makes sense. First no real anomalies at all, then this file pops up and immediately they find whatever is described in there. Very likely that the file itself was the cause of those anomalies appearing.
Well, it would be hard to identify the person who started the whole SCP thing. And even if we do manage to track them down, we still wouldn't know their real name(unless their username is their real name, but we couldn't be sure)
@@kzkaa. Doesn't have to be their real name. Could be just their username or some other made-up thing. And why would it be hard to track them down? There's gotta be at least one or two authors on the SCP wiki who were there from the very beginning and know how it all started and who started it. Just ask them.
First theory was that the paper were the cause of the anomalies. When the foundation went with prediction was like "bruh"
If a scp wiki reader met a time traveller
Time traveller:so what do you want to know ww3, assasination of any world leader, any information about your future?
Scp wiki reader:HAS THE TRUE SCP 001 BEEN FOUND YET
Time traveller:we still dont know even now we are in the 200millionth scp 001 rn
Scp wiki reader:oh damn
_It will forever be a mystery._
I think this anomaly deserves to be recognized as "the one true SCP-001".
This is uploaded on my birthday- defo made it better! Thank you!
It's nice to see an actually feasible 001 proposition for once
But if this were the case, wouldn't each anomaly detailed by this 001 just become 001-A, B, C, etc.?
So this SCP act is like a Pandora's box or either a guide to anomaly containment but I think it most likely the first one I mentioned, the idea of finding these anomalies after reading the file is highly unlikely happen in real life, one or two maybe but, more after reading this is literally a deserving classification of a collage of SCP-001s
Wait a minute, what about SCP 2521? On reading its information, won't the file itself be taken away into shadow dimension?
That’s the most igneous comment I’ve ever seen
@@woody2289 igneous?
Another awesome scp video... that's totally awesome, good job
What if someone not affiliated with a larger body read it and then a loved one had an encounter with the entity they saw?
The Sheaf of Papers 📃
The Ultimate SCP Strategy Guide
The funnies tthing about this one for me is that it actually manages to explain exactly how 055 was contained.
It just fucking showed up there after someone looked at that file for the 55th time.
0:07 +11000 with Joke, Explained and others branches
FOUNDATION: FINDS A SCP
ALSO FOUNDATION: LET'S TRY IT ON SCP 689
So if we were to destroy the papers would the scp spawning end or would we just lose our danger detector
It's all a theory, an unknown theory.
I think this scp actually contains this anomalies, by making the scp foundation aware of it and giving them info to contain it.
It's easy to know if this 001 creates the anomalies or not. You don't open it, and wait until you discover two anomalies. Then you open it. If it talks about one of the two new anomalies you discovered, then 001 is not the cause. If you don't discover new anomalies at all, 001 is the cause.
>drink bourbon until he fell asleep
My man! That’s how I spend my evenings too
this one makes the most sense to me because theoretically all of the 001s could be in the shief of papers and some just might not activate yet
Truly amazing video, good work, Scps are amazing, brilliant work. (:
SCP-002 (The meatball of a living room) was one of the first SCPs I ever found out about
*How many SCPs-001 exists? Paper. Gate guardian. The light. Most of them are appolyon.*
Currently, there are *over 30* SCP-001 Proposals and the number keeps *increasing.*
Why? Well, when *SCP* first got created, fans were debating what *SCP-001* should be, a slot which was *reserved* for the *best;* Of course, nobody could agree and the *System of Proposals* was created; *Everybody* can write their very own SCP-001 and *the reader* has the ability to *choose* which SCP-001 Proposal is *their favourite.*
In your eyes, *this* could be the *real* SCP-001 or another one or, maybe, none of them are *the real* SCP-001; It's your choice.
SCP 001 - Normalcy please!
I know it's one of the less popular ones, but I like it
I mean, if this scp-001 tale is true, then the age of the SCP foundation as we know is is a lot younger than we thought.
Technically 001 should be “The universe.”
This scp is by far my favorite scp
I have an idea for a new scp of Sorts. The tiger of flowers, it is a dark red and orange tiger with blue stripes and red and purple flowers in it mouth and eyes, it has three tails and long sharp claws. It can grow blue vines infecting whatever living creature it touches, makes their eyes red flowers and red and purple flowers come out of their mouth. It has the capability of human speech and can be reasoned with well relatively well. It is unknown where it came from but has a hatred toward other life forms. Just an idea of a tiger drawing I made and just thought as a suggestion ig- :>
You might want to visit the official SCP page and enter it as an SCP, but you have to write it well, or people will hate it (and they are currently still on series 7, but there are some available entries)
Edit: Just to clarify, this channel didn't invent and doesn't run the SCP series
How is that Keter? That should DEFINITELY be safe class. Remember, classes are based an how hard it is to contain and how many resources are needed to contain it. It’s completely inert. It’s won’t do anything at all if it’s not taken out and read. It’s contained the same exact way as lots of Safe class.
SCP-001 is a lot and if you ask ‘what’ or ‘why’ it may seem a easy question to answer but those questions have a lot answers that can be explain instead of answering simple answers.
For example we gonna take questions like
“Why the ice cream is melting”
So people says “because of the sun” some might says “temperature too high” it can be “because it need stay cold to not it be melt” and more
And for ‘what’ usually not hard question to answer but it always can be explained like ‘why’ and if you realise how many questions you already answered as ‘why’ questions probably a lot, same as goes SCP-001 it might be simple number and text but a lot to be explained
The world has been reset several times in the SCP verse. I wonder if the SCP-001 is the first SCP in various different iterations of the world.
I'll admit I'm intrigued by this anomaly. It may have been directly responsible for some of the other SCP-001 proposals, and it could probably predict some, if not all, of Series 8. I, for one, am looking forward to SCP-8000, a race of cosmic energy beings that can form symbiotic relationships with humans.
SCPs emerge from an SCP. Great SCP 001
001 should be classified as Apollyon, its so useful if it can predict the presents of anomalies, but it could be letting them in, the foundation doesn't know if it is dangerous to the point its hell, or if its helping them save themselves.
object class are classed based on the difficulty of containing it. At least, by modern standards. If the sheaf of paper object class uses the modern version, it would easily be Safe
3:32 is the best frame of the video
change my mind
Moral of the story, dont be messy
Of all the things I thought the SCP Foundation was keeping a containment, a sheaf of papers was not one of them.
So if in this take of the foundation the original administrator has passed on even after they did the Fountain of Youth Discovery would that mean he might have been the first person to see the picture of 096 and possibly the first known casualty because of?????
Holy shit I think your onto something
Ooh a new 001? Yay
The living room
"This could be one of the most dangerous items ever discovered", he says, yet again for the 400th time.
Scp-001 also known as when darkness comes
Class-every one of them
Description-noones lived long another to see or describe it
Woah this SCP-001 is cool
That is one hell of a diary hehehe
682 needs to go to anger management therapy
11:43 Thats what I’ve been saying the entire video, what makes things even more suspicious is the fact they found no real anomalies beforehand, although there’s a very simple way to test this theory: stop using it for an extended period, and if any more anomalies are found, then we know it is a warning, if not, we know it is causing them
Great video!!!
I believe the latter theory more, it simply explains the sudden appearance of anomalies all around the world after the discovery of the Papers.
New SCPs were probably being discovered precisely because he read them.
In other words, if they weren’t read about on paper, they would not have been discovered.
I have a question about the Church of the Broken God. For the church to collect all the pieces to rebuild their god, would they need to disassemble the prison their god sacrificed himself to make to save humanity?
Yep, that's the plot hole.
they probably put it on the cage and it would create their god and kill the other. but thats my headcannon
Remember that some of the pieces are referred to as "His Broken Heart" and "His Broken Mind." While their god may not be their full self, due to the cage being made from them, their god will at least be sentient once more. And given several of his pieces are also designed to pull together even more metal, those pieces are likely making up for the lost pieces of the cage.
I have been wIting for this one
Scp-001 the running, this scp makes other scps -001 - j to keep its self safe
"The Foundation has over 6000 items" And 343 knows how many joke items.
Day 117 of asking the O5 to use SCP-1968 to create a universe in which 682 doesn't exist.
They have no control over what the new reality is.
You should write a 001 proposal about this.
"Go check out SCP-001 and Go check out SCP-001"
*visible confusion*
This sheaf is like my youtube recommendations.
Secure, Contain, Protect? Sounds more like "scary crazy people" to me. Ha!
holly jesus, again with SCP 001, when are we going to get a clear idea.
(just kidding, this show is amazing, and i think your work is amazing. Keep working hard)
