Teorie della Creazione
Teoria dell'Inconscio/Idealismo Collettivo
Secondo il famoso psichiatra, Carl Jung, gli esseri umani hanno un "inconscio collettivo", una serie di idee che tutti condividiamo universalmente come specie come le Backroom essendo uno di questi concetti. Gli spazi liminali sono collegati alle nostre menti collettive, poiché i luoghi condivisi e la backroom sono semplicemente una percezione condivisa di questi spazi liminali. In pratica, gli esseri umani sono influenzati solo dal mondo come lo percepiscono, così quando un essere umano che ha perso la testa, è entrato in coma, o si è addormentato e ottiene una visione di questa percezione collettiva, sono risucchiati in esso. Come tale, le persone nelle Backroom sono spesso sognanti o deliranti. Un'altra interpretazione è che le Backroom sarebbero i vari sogni/realtà parallele della Mente Cosmica/Divina.
Teoria della Collisione
Ex scienziati delle Frontroom teorizzano che le Backroom sono un universo alternativo che si era scontrato con l'universo reale, con conseguenza che i 2 universi si sono interconnessi e per questo che il viaggio è possibile tra i due. Questa è solo una teoria, con molte altre interpretazioni delle Backroom indirettamente può confutare o contraddire, ma è certamente una possibilità.
La Tesi di Kauer
Questa teoria afferma che le Backroom sono una Tulpa illusoria: un'idea che prende vita come risultato della credenza in esso. Questo teorizza che le Backroom si siano trasformate in realtà a causa della crescente fiducia delle persone nel concetto. Inoltre, questo avrebbe creato l'idea che le Backroom esistessero già, creando forse un paradosso.
L'Incidente
Come dice il titolo, le Backroom sono, almeno secondo questa teoria, un incidente. Non sono mai stati pensati per nascere, ma inevitabilmente lo hanno fatto perché gli esperimenti condotti dai governi mondiali per testare il tunnel quantico e il teletrasporto avevano effetti imprevisti. Naturalmente il governo avrebbe coperto, ma la gente ha trovato la loro strada nelle Beckroom, dove il governo aveva nascosto i suoi fallimenti, le sue entità.
Il Grande Esperimento
Prendendo una strada diversa da 'L'incidente', le Backroom sono state create dai governi del mondo come mezzi per la sperimentazione umana, lontano dagli occhi indiscreti della stampa. Inizierebbe con i senzatetto, visti male agli occhi del pubblico, le loro sparizioni susciterebbero molta preoccupazione, prima di diventare più ampie. Chiunque potrebbe essere preso nel sonno e gettato nelle Backroom. Le Backroom sono una serie di strutture complesse gestite dal governo degli Stati Uniti per ricercare come la mente reagirebbe a anomalie inspiegabili, anche se è cresciuta molto di più.
Guantanamo Bay Theory
Area 51, where Sonoda Yoshi opened and created the Backrooms
Guantanamo Bay Theory suggests that the creation and the ability to enter the Backrooms is due to a top-secret project that was done by DARPA with the help of CIA and Mossad. The project was kept secret, even the president of United States did not know the existence of the project. The objective of the project was to build a prison far away to prevent the public from knowing its existence. The project was proposed in 2006, and was going to take place in Area 51. The project started when Barack Obama ordered the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. The prison was going to house Muslim militants, suspected terrorists, high-profiled criminals, and drug dealers captured by the U.S. government. They tried to create time machines, portals to unknown timelines, universes, and even parallel universes. These attempts, however, are proven to be unsuccessful. After 7 years, a Japanese scientist named Sonoda Yoshi working in the name of CIA hit a breakthrough. He and other scientists accidentally created a portal to the Backrooms. This, however, was a huge mistake. The portal made the Backrooms and entering the Backrooms feasible in every timeline, and every universe. This portal unknowingly changed the course of history we know, as living things from other timelines and universes noclip through the Backrooms.
Void/Cosmology Theory
According to this map, the Backrooms are the second sphere of existence. The Backrooms are much "Wider" than reality, being infinite in multiple dimensions. There are infinite levels, and there is theoretically infinite space in each level + sublevel combination. The Frontrooms are simply infinite in one dimension, with a limit (Being the unobservable universe) to how much can be explored. The Backrooms 's only limit to exploration, human or otherwise, is the danger, and an infinite void which can be entered from most points on the outer rim of the Backrooms, which happens to be the most populated and explored. Noclipping, or quantum tunneling, allows humans to move through infinite distance, reaching the inner ring. The inner rim is incredibly dangerous, with many quantum tunnels leading to the Void, an increased number of fluctuations that could send wanderers to places such as Level REDACTED, and close proximity to the home of the gods. An area including part of the inner rim, called "Heaven", is the living place of the gods, and where a small amount of souls go after death (most don't qualify and go to hell). The middle parts of the Backrooms are vastly unexplored, since quantum tunnels rarely lead directly to them. A few massive quantum tunnels, one of which the level numbering system is based off of, wind through the midsection, but most are seamless noclips which simply seem like one is walking into a new level after going far enough or doing a specific task. Sometimes, these tunnels miss areas, making travel through them confusing, however these tunnels can never lead a wanderer to the void. This fact leads some to seek out the middle levels to make their homes there. In the Inner Void, there are many deities. These deities are responsible for the entities, and most of the Backrooms itself. Deities have two phases "Dormant" and "Active". Active deities are young, and actively create "Olive Trees", levels, and entities. They do not need much sustenance to survive. Dormant deities are older, and must consume souls to survive. Some of these deities dream up their own realities which subsume the Backrooms and trap mortals, which they can feed off of. Dormant deities create things called "Olive Trees", which essentially rent out consciousness to various creatures, wait for the creature to die, and then collect their soul to feed to their deity.
Shattered Reality Theory
The Shattered Reality Theory is a theory formed by scientists who dropped into the Backrooms. This theory holds that the Backrooms were formed at the Big Bang and is a separate universe from the Real World. It states that it is a correlated universe to our own and was a completely different universe with its own laws but was melded with the Real World by the force of billions of human imaginations 24 hours a day in the real world. The Backrooms became more and more like the Real World until it became what it is now. The believers of this theory state that the fake reality program found in The End was a failed device which was an attempt to create a new reality exactly like the Real World but always fails due to chaos theory.
Tileset Theory
The Tileset Theory is that The Frontrooms is a hyper-advanced simulation, and The Backrooms are like tilesets containing millions of procedurally generated template rooms and locations for the developers to copy and place into The Frontrooms so that they don't have to build everything from scratch. The reason Noclipping is possible is because of the fact that reality is a simulation, and it can cause people to glitch into The Backrooms if they Noclip incorrectly, causing the simulation to get confused and send them there. If one noclips very incorrectly, they can accidentally noclip their bodies out of reality, causing their code, or consciousness, to be sent to The Void.
Virtual Theory
The Virtual Theory is a theory that states that the Backrooms is a virtual simulation we were unknowingly put into. The theory also says that the Backrooms were planned to be a virtual peaceful utopia of levels, where humans and anomalous creatures could live in harmony, until they were accidentally corrupted, releasing all of the Backrooms and generating endless levels. A few minor colonies believe this theory.
Stacked Dimensions Theory
This theory states that the Backrooms may not be a dimension, but rather a collection of alternate dimensions with the same properties, dimensions that we call Levels could be actual alternate dimensions, for example, level 0 could be floating in a void; the view to other levels from any level maybe be portals that are sometimes inaccessible, the windows are in reality portals leading to another dimensions, entities have the capacity to travel between these dimensions.
Hell Theory
This theory is suggested by some religious people. They believe that the backrooms is hell itself, the place where dead unsaved souls are tortured endlessly. In this theory, Noclipping is considered a sinful act (thus explaining how noclipping can end you up in the backrooms) and the "levels" are designed to torture souls that end up here. They also believed that people or souls who are "dead" in the backrooms aren't actually dead, they're just on another level of torture.
The Hole in Reality Theory
This theory is suggested by one person by the name of Alex codex. He believes that the backrooms was a puncture in reality and acts like a blackhole, sucking things around it to add more to itself. This mostly explains how Level Primal most likely exists, due to some entrances to the backrooms going into earth and putting prehistoric creatures inside the level. Meaning that Level Primal was most likely the first level to be ‘created.’ These entrances most likely still exist everywhere on earth, and most likely in space.
Wall Theory
This theory is that the frontrooms are on one side of the reality wall and the backrooms are on different levels of reality on the other side of the wall. each level of the backrooms is on a different infinite altitude going up and going down. This theory states that the void is just the empty space of the outside of the backrooms. the levels of the backrooms occur on the inside, on the outside there is an indescribable silence of colorless space. there is an indestructible smooth cosmic material that makes up the border of the backrooms and the void. The reason when one no-clips to the backrooms that they end up in level 0 is that it is on the line of space on the outside of the backrooms.
Fehlend's Theory
Doctor Adrean Fehlend was a German physicist that, after contact with the backrooms, was enamored with the spatial anomaly. He had proposed several theories in the past, from teleportation illusions to the wrath of supernatural beings. This theory propose that the Backrooms is the fourth dimension we have all been questioning, and that the four dimensions are length, width, depth, and unpredictability. He proposed that the Backrooms may not be 990 million sq. miles around like previously thought, but that instead it was closer to 100 meters across, but that it was just everchanging. Few believe in this theory.
The Alien Recreation Theory
It has been theorized that Alien species may have visited Earth at one point in time, and began to draw inspiriation from areas such as office buildings and other infrastructure for simulating how these would be in a theoretically infinite space of reality. This could explain why levels have a repeating pattern, and feel highly unnatural.
Eldritch Overlord Theory
The Eldritch Overlord or Lovecraft Theory states that the backrooms were created by a being beyond that human comprehension and logic and what people would consider to be over worldly while the theory may seem outlandish at first glance, many things start to make much more sense if you consider that the backrooms is nothing but a way of entertainment for higher beings, and that everyone that ends up in the backrooms were chosen by said being, the vast infinity of the backrooms, and the entities all start to make sense, as the theory states they were created by the said eldritch being, some people went even as far as to suggest that the said being is the serpentine entity found in the serpentrooms, however some think that said serpent is a mere servant of an even more powerful and sinister being. This theory also has a branch, which suggests that instead of the eldritch being got lost in the backrooms, however this is unlikely, as a being with such power would no problems navigating the said mazes of the backrooms. Although this theory may seem very plausible, the biggest problem with it is that nobody has encountered the said "overlord" of the backrooms, and there has been no evidence that suggest the serpent is the said overlord, as "he" does not seem to have any connections with anything outside of said serpentrooms.
Infinite Universe Theory
Scientists argue that there is an infinite universe. In this theory, the backroom is an another universe. You could not access it until you know how to. And it is possible that there is infinite backroom universe that is more safe, scary, dangerous or more. A wall or a specific, random wall can transport you accidently when you hit a wall in a sudden.
Multi-universal Theory
This theory claims that the entire observable universe is the Frontrooms, and the Backrooms, Oldrooms, Toprooms, and Westrooms are also their own part of the much larger universe. The parts that are closest to the region you are in is the most likely one you are going to go to if you were to exit the region you are in. This means the backrooms is the closest to the Frontrooms, and the other rooms are further out. The novarooms are not part of this equation.
Older Day Theory
The Backrooms can be another universe of levels, despite having the Racetrack map of the Backrooms starting on 20 levels.
They exist to Level -∞ to Level ∞.
The levels are discovered old, some are new, some are fake/jokes.
Other Theories
The Level Numbering Theory
This theory attempts to explain what level numbers have to do with level properties. There is a whole page about level numbering, so this is a summarized version. There is a border between Reality and the Backrooms called the Reality Shift. The level number is the distance between the center of the level and the Reality Shift, which is measured through gravitational anomalies.
The Window Theory
From many investigations, we have found that the Backrooms may have windows. In the color corrected image of the Backrooms, some blueish tints on some walls are visible, along with bright lighting that can't be caused by the fluorescent lights. With this, we introduce you to the window theory. Following are constructed images displaying this theory
The Cameraman Theory
This theory attempts to answer the origin of most of the Backrooms level images. The existence of this entity is theorized due to it being unreasonable that Wanderers could capture such high-quality images of the Backrooms, especially images of dangerous or even impossible-to-reach levels. The physical form of this entity is unknown, and it could be thought that it lacks a physical form altogether; what is known is that it captures images of levels often instantaneously after their addition to the database, and that it travels through levels by unknown means.
"The One"
There is a theory that there will one day be a "Lucid", someone who noclipped into the Backrooms while dreaming, who will have the ability to noclip on command between levels, possibly even outside of the Backrooms. The One is believed to be the answer to truly escaping the Backrooms.
Time-Freeze Theory
This theory would explain why people in the Frontrooms have never witnessed people noclipping into the Backrooms. The theory is that whenever anyone noclips into the Backrooms, time in the Frontrooms stops. When the person eventually makes their way back to the Frontrooms, time resumes. Nobody in the Frontrooms would notice because there would be no time passing for them to realize anything. If someone dies in the Backrooms they would also get sent back to the Frontrooms to right where they noclipped. This theory would also imply that everyone in the Backrooms eventually escapes, because if someone stayed forever then you would not be reading this. A problem with this theory is that everyone would have had to be sent to the Backrooms at the same time or one at a time because it is impossible to noclip while time is frozen (we think..).
Entity Theory
This theory suggests that the entities of the Backrooms originated from their own planes of realities. This suggests that the human reality is not the only one affected by the Backrooms, but one of many. As an idea, entities may have been carrying viruses or pathogens from other realities, ones that could affect others from separate realities differently.
Him Theory
The Him theory is a theory that states that a divine entity, referred to as Him in modern writings/conversation due to the original language He was written in was unknown.
The text, from approximately 950-1000 years ago, reads:
"These corridors, elaborate lengths. These places of strange creatures and knowledge. These places of horrid nature yet fascinating, comes from んノᄊ who came from There. He who created this world for His purposes and to eat, who is of the greatest respect, frighteningly."
Carpet Fluid Theory
The Carpet Fluid Theory is a theory formed by colonies across the positive integer levels. According to them, "Carpet Fluid" is a chemical compound that when touched or smelled, can cause insanity reducing effects, as well as random feelings of disorientation, anger, or fear (The severity of which depends on the quantity of the liquid in the area). The substance was named "Carpet Fluid" due to the fact that it soaks the carpeted floors in Level 0. The substance, as the name suggests, smells strongly of old moist carpet. The substance can be found on many other levels. (Listed below)
- Level 0 - The substance that dampens the carpet. (The reason why you can only smell it here is unknown)
- Level 1 - Can be found in some of the puddles formed by the fog.
- Level 2 - Can be found rarely in small pipes lining the ceiling.
- Level 3 - Can be found in small puddles on the walls, floor, and ceilings.
- Level 4 - Can be found leaking from small cracks in the ceiling or walls.
- Level 5 - Can be found in some machinery in the boiler room.
- Level 6 - Can be found heavily soaking most surfaces.
- Level 7 - Can be found spraying out of small hot springs on small, isolated islands.
- Level 8 - Can be found in some ores.
- Level 9 - Can be found falling from the sky in a similar way to rain in specific areas, as well as in the faucets in some houses
- Level 10 - Can be found mixed with dirt on the pathway, forming a mud like substance, but blended perfectly, and more like a paste then water.
- Level 11 - Can be found in fountains, vending machines, or any form of water transport or storage.
- Level 12 - Mixed with the lights, making it bright
- Level 13 - Can be found in everything that contains water (1%)
Level Reality Theory
A theory splinteting off of the True Level 0 Theory, the Level Reality Theory states that what we know as reality, or what we commonly refer to as "the frontrooms", is a level in itself. While lacking in much direct evidence, it is noted that we refer to Level 0 as Level 0, because it is the recognised as the beggining. But that is only to those that enter into Level 0. It is presumed that Level 0 is the "start" of the backrooms, but there is no way to prove it. If the Level Reality Theory is therefore true, it means that reality, or "the frontrooms", is just another level of the backrooms, and there are likely many levels "before" the frontrooms, with likely no beginning.
A seperate but related theory to the Level Reality Theory states that many legends of angels descending from the heavens may be proof that the frontrooms are not where humans originally related from, and instead descended from a higher level, and began to occupy the frontrooms due to its habitability.
God Creation Theory
This theory states that Jehovah was the creator of the backrooms and that he used the backrooms as the place people go in the afterlife but who have sinned(also the entities are the people who have sinned and are demons and the dimension that is the backrooms looked completely different) .The backrooms predates the creation of our own earth (4.54 billion years ago B.C. was Earth 66 Billion years ago B.C were the backrooms ) But when Jesus came down he said he will create a new place for the sinners to go in the afterlife because he loved even the sinners and said that the backrooms were a little too harsh even for sinners. But when scientists (Async Research Facility) created the portal for the backrooms as a result made space weaker and made humans more susceptible to noclipping in the backrooms (but without Jehovah's consent or Jesus'). And the reason why the backrooms look so familiar is because when the portal opened the machine took an algorithm of the office space of that era the 1980s (kane pixels first contact video sequence from 1:22 to 1:36 ) and put it in the dimension the portal found hence why the backrooms look the way they do now.
Advanced Civilization Theory
This theory suggests 'aliens' created a pocket dimension from our universe to their universe. We and other entities like the deathmoth, smilers, and others are the test subjects. Objects, entity objects, entity robots, or entity sculptures like the gamemaster or the Partygoer were created, and entities like the clumps were mutated by the 'Civilization' for unknown reasons. Below are some examples of what organism these entities were before they got to The Backrooms:
- Death moths were potentially large prehistoric moths found by this civilization on a young life planet.
- Smilers potentially evolved from bioluminescent aquatic creatures as they can emit light from their mouths, teeth, and eyes.
- Clumps were potentially the byproduct of human genetic mutation experiments conducted by these advanced beings. HOX genes, for example, regulate the formation of the bones of the developing limbs, so it is possible that manipulation of these genes, amongst others, in humans aided in creating the clumps.
- Hounds were potentially the results of genetic engineering a prehistoric human from this other world with a dog creating transgenic species.
- The Disease was a plague from another planet transmitted into The Backrooms intentionally or accidentally.
- Jerry was a parrot and entered The Backrooms alongside their owner. When their owner perished, Jerry was found by aliens, and as a part of an experiment, Jerry was given the ability to control minds. If this theory is true, it cannot be confirmed by this would be done.
- The High Queen was potentially a prehistoric animal from another planet. The High Queen got into a random level while no clipping it. Not being able to return to her home world, she made this new place, now called The Hive, her new home. If this theory is true, this will explain origin of The Hive.
- Entity - D was probably from another universe before no-clipping through some border, ending up as an entity in the Backrooms.
The Alteration Theory
The Alteration Theory proposes the idea that the backrooms as a whole is slightly altered for each person. These changes are not visible to other people, and are typically irrelevant.
Some minor alterations that have been theorized have been:
- Levels having louder ambience
- Levels having more or less entities
- Certain outposts not existing for certain people (Usually smaller outposts/survivor camps)
- Difference in temperature
- Levels having stronger or weaker WIFI.
Some major alterations that have been theorized have been:
- Level orders being scrambled around
- Huge increases/decreases in temperature
- Levels having phenomenal increases or decreases in entity count, and having different entities altogether.
- Certain people simply not existing for them.
- Levels having completely different shades of their original color, or a completely different color.
If this theory is true, it would render all documentation on levels useless or even dangerous as it may lead people into dangerous situations.
The Mirjavian Theory
Theorised by James Mirjavis, a Mexican experimental theologian. this theory explains that The Backrooms in an entirety is a game of sorts, created by a higher being for unknown reasons. this higher being could be a God, or humankind. the game is a maze, with the mentioned 'higher being' watching for amusement, for experiments, or as a test for us humans. this theory is adopted by many people, including Eden McCreek, German physician, and Alexander Blaize Cornell, British archivist.
The Anguish Thesis
Humans were a mistake, sapient life was never meant for this universe. Our sense of self began to shape another dimension, negative emotions coalesced into a place of fear, grief and loneliness. The Backrooms were created by human emotions and are constantly being shaped by them. Levels become more dangerous when bleak outlooks are rife and wars are raging. Entities are fewer and farther between when hope sparks and optimism gains a foothold and so on.
