Reality Anomalies
Glitches, time slips, missing-time experiences, the Mandela Effect — collective and individual reports that the substrate of consensus reality may not be what it appears.
Reality Anomalies is the file for what does not fit. A driver loses three hours on a stretch of motorway and remembers none of it. A class of schoolchildren independently recalls a film that does not exist. A piece of furniture changes position in a locked room. A pattern of these reports, taken together, is not nothing.
We catalogue four primary phenomena: missing-time experiences (verifiable gaps in personal chronology), time slips (apparent transitions to or from another era), glitches (objects, places, or persons behaving inconsistently with prior observation), and the Mandela Effect (collective false memory or — depending on which framework you bring — collective true memory of an altered past).
The evidential challenge here is unusually difficult: most reports are single-witness and irreproducible. We hold them anyway, because the corpus, taken in aggregate, is large and growing.
