The Major Paradox is a variant of the Ontological Paradox, applying to a book found in Sylas's Proposal; Level 404. The theory exists due to The Major Explorer Group, a book found in the aforementioned level. It is apparently written in the 2200s, nearly two-hundred years in the future. Nevertheless, the book holds accurate information of the M.E.G. and a future for it, all of which has unfolded truthfully since discovery. However, the truthfulness of this book is an anomaly. The nature of Level 404 states that it is an infinite collection of knowledge; thus, it includes knowledge from the future. However, this information only exists due to the transference of it from the future; granting the paradox that it was never created, yet it still exists. From this, some have inferred that the Major Explorer Group does not exist, nor does any form of future knowledge in Level 404. Thus, Level 404 would not be an infinite collection of knowledge; this could not be done without the existence of knowledge from the future. However, the aforementioned paradox coupled with this one leads to no conclusion; it is a circle that is unsolved.
