Within the KAC, there exists three distinct factions:
The Scientific Division.
The Theological Division.
The Information Division.
Each division maintains its own interpretive framework (or canon) regarding the true nature of reality and its anomalies, recording findings through parallel but often incompatible documentation standards. These records are not considered competing theories. They are treated as simultaneously necessary perspectives, each compensating for the blind spots of the others. They also document stories and legends from across the Manifolds which many will have access.
[The Scientific Division]
The Scientific Division operates under the assumption that reality is a system, however incomplete or unstable that system may it be. Otherwise known as the Baseline Continuity. Its mandate is to observe, model, and constrain anomalous phenomena using reproducible methods, formal logic, and mathematical abstraction.
To the Scientific Division, anomalies/entities are not "supernatural." They are nonconforming structures—events or entities that violate known laws because those laws are insufficient, not because they are false. Their documentation emphasizes:
Quantifiable effects
Predictive behavior patterns
Containment viability
Failure thresholds
Mathematical or physical analogues
Narrative language, symbolic interpretation, and metaphysical speculation are strongly discouraged unless they can be operationalized. The Division maintains that understanding—even partial understanding—reduces existential risk.
This division produced the earliest formal containment doctrines and continues to manage most high-risk, structurally unstable anomalies.
To distinguish entities from the Baseline Continuity, they are designated KAC-[ ]-S.
[The Theological Division]
The Theological Division holds that reality cannot be survived through measurement alone. Where the Scientific Division sees structure, the Theological Division sees meaning, archetype, and intention. They operate on the basis of Divergent Continuity.
This division treats anomalies as symbols given form, embodiments of mythic roles, cultural memory, or metaphysical necessity. Their records often resemble sacred texts, parables, or restrained epics rather than reports. They focus on:
Symbolic resonance across cultures and worlds
Mythological recurrence
Philosophical implications
Moral or existential significance
The role an entity plays rather than what it does
The Theological Division does not reject science but argues that certain entities cannot be safely engaged without understanding what they represent. Several entities were first identified as existentially dangerous by this division before physical effects were measurable.
To distinguish entities from the Divergent Continuity, they are designated KAC-[ ]-T.
[The Information Division]
The Information Division does not ask what an anomaly is or what it means. It asks what breaks when it is known.
This division concerns itself with Cognitohazards, Memetic entities, narrative, and continuity. Their work is fragmented by necessity as records contradict themselves, timelines misalign, and entire investigations erased.
They operate under the assumption that truth is hazardous, and that certain forms of understanding destabilize the systems required to contain them. Otherwise known as the Meta-Continuity.
To distinguish entities from the Meta-Continuity, they are designated KAC-[ ]-M.
[Inter-Division Doctrine]
No division is permitted to operate independently on Category 4 or higher anomalies. Cross-division review is mandatory.
The Founder established this structure after concluding that no single worldview is survivable in isolation. A reality interpreted through only one lens eventually collapses—either into sterile perfection, blind faith, or irreversible despair.
