"Non-existence is not a state of absence, but rather an aggressive, hyper-dimensional friction generated by the attempt to simultaneously occupy all available states of being. We are not here to fix the non-existence; we are here to polish it."

I. Introduction to Hyper-Dimensional Friction and Regulatory Framework
The primary function of this chapter is to delineate the operational parameters governing the maintenance of environments designated as Non-Existent, but Currently Occupied (NECO). Personnel must understand that non-existence is not a state of absence, but rather an aggressive, hyper-dimensional friction generated by the attempt to simultaneously occupy all available states of being. This friction manifests as the constant, low-frequency hum (the Omphalos Drone), the unscheduled materialization of non-orthogonal geometries, and, most critically, the systematic degradation of primary chromatic values.
