Adjacent Phenomena

Chronometric Playback
As has been explained elsewhere, chronometric playbacks are frequently visible in proximity to many sub-celestial fissures. It may be more accurate to say that CPs occur to some degree in virtually every sub-celestial location, but the presence of natural or artificial subcelestial fissures enables participants to perceive them more readily. The precise mechanism of playback is the subject of contemporary debate, as is the causation, however it has been established that when concentrations of electromagnetic energy coincide with a localised rupture in the sub-temporal architecture, playback becomes more likely. CPs can be often resemble Temporal Incursions, however CPs have a distinct lack of consciousness or awareness — as a result, CPs are not considered a risk factor.
Chronometric playbacks can be categorised into two distinct groups:
Recorded chronometric playback
This is by far the most frequently reported. Auditory, visual and sensational playbacks often occur in locations with an ascribed historical significance and often where concentrations of igneous or sedimentary deposits are highest. Recorded incidents are widespread and are beyond the scope of this archive. The reader is encouraged to familiarise themself with the examples referenced elsewhere, while exercising caution over the use of loaded terminology.
​
Guided chronometric playback
A guided playback is artificially-induced and requires the participation of one or more Anthropocene with extensive knowledge of the cognitive and technical aspects. Where successful, partial or even full playbacks of temporal events are possible and can be recorded, reproduced and disseminated to other participants without the need for specialised knowledge.
​
​
Cognitive Displacement
The sensation of cognitive displacement is often sudden and transient, involving seemingly mundane circumstances. It is not an uncommon experience, however this does not preclude the presence of a fissure or related phenomena, whether known to the participant or not. Proximity to fissures, incursions, recent sites of excursion and counterpart materialisation create a quantifiable network of cognitive displacement. The effects are rarely recorded by the population at large, seemingly only affecting certain participants.
In extreme circumstances, cognitive displacement will manifest as a perceptive trauma and can be irreversible. This has often been recorded when utilising artificial subcelestial fissures for temporal excursions.

Temporal Incursions
Temporal incursions are what we might call 'life forms' which manifest in a number of different ways and many of them are not yet readily understood. The scope of this archive is limited to TIs which are the direct result of Anthropogenic excursion using Subcelestial Temporal Fissures. NOTSFs generally have a minimal risk of TI, whereas ASTFs greatly heighten the risk. It is thought that the reason for this increase is related to the damage caused to localised sub-temporal architecture when using some of the excursion methods.
Unlike figurative chronometric playbacks, which can present to the participant only an illusion of self-awareness, temporal incursions are actually sentient, have self-awareness and exhibit self-determination.
Visual manifestations of TI phenomena are dependent on a variety of factors. They can be figurative or non-figurative in appearance. Temporal incursions break down into distinct sub-categories.
Counterparts are also considered a descriptor of a particular instance of figurative TI. These types are virtually guaranteed to occur during the use of certain methods of excursion, most notably the Mineral Transference Method.
Temporal Incursion Counterparts can be recognised by their visual similarity to the participant responsible for their manifestation. TI counterparts are highly unstable and generate vast quantities of cognitive displacement, chronometric playbacks and permanent temporal displacement. All types of TIs are known to cause severe chronometric trauma and cognitive injury to any Anthropocene in the vicinity, to the degree that all contact should be minimised.
​
In many recorded (and suspected) cases where Temporal Incursions have manifested, the status, whereabouts and intentions of the TIs remains unknown. The Anthropocene participants involved in TI proximity have experienced cognitive displacement, which can be acute and permanent, and in some cases suffered permanent temporal dislocation.
Guided Chronometric Playbacks of Temporal Incursions have been known to generate many adjacent phenomena in receptive participants. Recordings have been made available to dyzlocation and should be viewed with the relevant safeguarding procedures.​

Temporal Dislocation
Temporal dislocation can occur cognitively or, on rare occasions, physically. The most notable symptoms of cognitive TD include compulsive activities relating to nonlinear events, as well as an excessive disinterest in the contemporary environment. There exists a generalised, low level form of TD endemic in certain geographical locations. The cumulative effects of an increasing number of subcelestial fissures is thought to be the main cause, however in extreme cases of TD, the cause is likely to be a combination of factors, including the presence of temporal incursions.
Left untreated, cognitive temporal dislocation can be irreversible.
Physical temporal dislocation results in the complete removal of the participant from the sub-temporal architecture. In contrast to the aims of induced temporal excursion, where the participant remains manifest (though temporarily relocated), physical temporal dislocation as the result of a temporal incursion can sometimes be permanent.
