[DESCRIPTION]
KAC-2718 is an infinite, self-referential spatial construct (though it is a room) resembling a single enclosed room with no discernible boundaries. It originates from an Earth where mathematics is what defines the entirety of their reality. It was found when an unsuspecting room flipper stepped into the room of equations, completely overwhelmed by pure information. The interior geometry of KAC-2718 corresponds exactly to the complex plane, mapped onto physical space. Within the room, vertical alignment corresponds to the imaginary axis, while horizontal displacement corresponds to the real axis. The floor, ceiling, and walls cannot be distinguished; observers describe the sensation of standing "inside an equation." The room is finite in appearance but infinite in extension.
At the precise central axis of the room lies an invisible but absolute boundary referred to as The Red Line. All measurable structural stability within the room depends on this line.
KAC-2718 directly embodies the unresolved Riemann Hypothesis:
That all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line Re(s) = ½.
In anomalous terms, every prime number corresponds to a resonance within the room. The distribution of these resonances determines whether the space remains coherent. When resonances align symmetrically along the Red Line, the room is stable, but when deviation is introduced, even hypothetically, the room undergoes structural collapse suggesting that prime numbers are load-bearing elements of reality's architecture.

[BEHAVIOUR]
KAC-2718 is passive but reactive. Observed phenomena include:
- Auditory hallucinations described as distant chimes or harmonic pulses, increasing in intensity near the Critical Line.
- Visual distortions where objects duplicate or phase-shift if carried away from the line.
- Temporal slippage, where observers lose track of elapsed time without biological fatigue.
- Cognitive pressure, causing mathematicians to experience intrusive proof-attempts or symbolic visions.
Personnel who attempt to "prove" or "disprove" the Riemann Hypothesis while inside the room report immediate feedback:
- Successful logical steps stabilize the environment.
- Logical contradictions that cause spatial shears, folding corridors into paradoxical loops.
No observer has completed a full proof within the room.

[CONTAINMENT ATTEMPT]
KAC-2718 is accessed via a mathematical threshold.
Containment measures include:
- Restricting access to individuals with demonstrated advanced mathematical cognition.
- Preventing prolonged exposure exceeding 271.8 minutes (approx. 4.53 hours).
- Prohibition of automated theorem-proving entities
Physical barriers are meaningless. The room exists wherever the mathematical conditions defining it are satisfied.

[FINAL NEUTRALIZATION]
KAC-2718 cannot be destroyed without resolving the Riemann Hypothesis itself. Any such resolution, proof or disproof, is theorized to cause the global structural recalibration of reality, with consequences currently unknowable.
Current KAC policy is Containment by Ignorance.

"This room is not asking us to solve a problem. It is asking whether the universe is allowed to remain consistent. Some doors exist not to be opened, but to remind us why we hesitate.
