Function: Measurement of the level of reality (Hume) of an area or an entity.
Specifics: A portable device that provides a numerical reading of reality stability, essential for identifying and classifying Reality Benders.
Function: Maintaining the psychological stability of the operator in unstable realities.
Specifics: A device (or a physical notebook) on which the operator constantly records basic facts about himself and the mission, to resist rewrites of reality.
Function: An ink that slightly increases the probability that an event occurs.
Specifics: An anomalous ink that, if used to describe a future event, marginally increases its probability of occurrence. Its use is strictly controlled.
Function: Obtain information by consulting a contained narrative entity.
Specifics: Formal authorization to interact with a contained entity whose anomaly is narrative-based (pataphysical, metanarrative, etc.). It allows one to "interview the story" to obtain clues on how to defeat another narrative anomaly, with the high risk that the consulted entity may in turn attempt to manipulate reality.
Function: Dynamic modulation and tactical deployment of reality fields.
Specifics: A portable SRA variant optimized for rapid deployment and field modulation by the Ontological Resonance Unit. Used offensively/defensively to create Hume differentials, suppress reality bending, or execute specific Ontological protocols.
Function: Introduction of logical paradoxes to destabilize a narrative.
Specifics: A device that generates random and illogical events (e.g., a phone rings in the Middle Ages) to "confuse" a narrative anomaly and weaken its coherence.
Function: Reinforcement of standard physical laws in a localized area.
Specifics: A device that emits a field that makes it more "difficult" for reality to deviate from the normal laws of physics, acting as a weak but wide-ranging countermeasure.
Function: Introducing new elements into an anomalous narrative.
Specifics: An holographic/psionic projector that can insert a "character" or a "prop" into an altered reality, hoping that the narrative integrates it and is modified by it.
Function: De-escalation and psychological containment of a Reality Bender.
Specifics: A doctrine that prioritizes negotiation, psychological deception, and the satisfaction of the entity's narcissistic needs to guide it into containment.
Function: Determine whether the Foundation is within an anomalous narrative.
Specifics: A series of tests and observations to verify the existence of an "author" or a "fourth wall", to understand at what level of fiction one is operating.
Function: Playing by the rules of a narrative anomaly to defeat it.
Specifics: A protocol that authorizes agents to play a role within an anomalous story, using the genre's clichés to reach a favorable conclusion.
Function: Attempting to forcefully insert a single "fact" into a locally unstable reality.
Specifics: A risky pataphysical protocol that allows exploiting a narrative anomaly to attempt introducing a new element into the story (e.g., "And the monster suddenly developed a vulnerability to salt water"). The outcome is unpredictable and can backfire on the user, but it offers a creative solution to otherwise insurmountable problems.
