File Code: 000.1: The System Caste System
Classification Index: TS-X9 / Verified
Origin: Fracture Year [REDACTED]
Summury:
Humanity is split into three "time perception castes," based on how individuals process memory, causality, and temporal awareness.
This phenomenon is called Perceptual Temporal Divergence.
Caste 001: RETROS
"I remember the future. i forget the past."
Timeflow:Inverted
Memory Type:Anticipatory recollection
Symptoms: Loss of identity the closer they get to their birth
Risk Level: "HIGH" — temporal instability, unpredictability
Notable Traits:
- Often write backwards or in reverse sequence
- May experience future events as déja vu
- Capable of knowing things they haven't "done" yet
Caste 002: PREVIS
"I feel what hasn't happened yet"
Timeflow:Linear but emotionally disconnected from causality.
Memory Type:Emotional echoing
Symptoms: Premomnitions, false emotional triggers
Risk Level: "MODERATE" — psychological fragmentation
Notable Traits:
- Sudden mood swings with no logical cause
- Can "feel" the outcome of choices before making them
- Higher susceptibility to memory corruption if overexposed to Retros
Caste 003: PRESENS
"I live now. I think I live now."
Timeflow:Linear (Default perception)
Memory Type:Chrono-logical
Symptoms:Potential fracture under paradox exposure
Risk Level:"LOW" (until activation)
Notable Traits:
- Stable unless exposed to traceur feedback
- Easily manipulated by time anomalies due to lack of defence
- Some shows signs of latent retro or previs traits under pressure
NOTES:
- Cross-caste interaction is restriction is restricted in high-risk zones
- Mixed-caste indiciduals have yet to be classified
- Some Traceur logs suggest the existence of a fourth caste (status: [UNCONFRIMED])
