⚗️ Origin Theories
Hypothesis A: Memetic Agent
MalO may represent a self-propagating informational entity:
- Uses technology as a carrier
- Embeds itself in consciousness via visual interface
- Forms personal bonds for survival
Hypothesis B: Interdimensional Entity
SCP-1471-A exists in a parallel dimension:
- The app serves as a "bridge" between realities
- Gradually synchronizes user perception
- Allows the entity to observe our world
Hypothesis C: Collective Unconscious
The app activates archetypal images:
- Utilizes innate fears and desires
- Creates an "imaginary friend" for adults
- Materializes the need for companionship

🔬 Ongoing Research
Active Projects
- Project "Black Mirror": Study of the anomaly's technical aspects
- Project "Invisible Friend": Psychological effects of long-term exposure
- Project "Digital Exorcism": Methods of neutralizing the effects
- Project "Controlled Friendship": Therapeutic use of SCP-1471
Planned Experiments
- Group exposure (collective perception)
- Effects on children and adolescents (awaiting ethical approval)
- Cross-testing with other anomalous objects
- Attempts to communicate with SCP-1471-A without the app
📝 Researcher Notes
"SCP-1471 represents a unique case of a 'friendly' anomaly. Unlike most Foundation objects, it poses no direct threat and may even have positive psychological effects. Nevertheless, the long-term effects of altered reality perception require further study."
