914Correction

914Correction is a term sometimes used in discussions related to the SCP Foundation, a fictional collaborative writing project. In the SCP Foundation universe, SCP-914 is an object designated as "The Clockworks." It is a complex machine capable of transforming items placed within its chamber. The process involves "Refining" an object, which can result in a variety of outcomes depending on the material and the setting used.

The concept of "914Correction" likely refers to instances where the outcome of SCP-914's refinement process is unexpected, undesirable, or deviates from the intended or predicted result. This could involve the object transforming into something dangerous, nonsensical, or simply not what was anticipated. Such occurrences are a common source of plot development and narrative tension within SCP Foundation stories, as they highlight the unpredictable and often anomalous nature of the objects described. Researchers within the SCP Foundation frequently document and analyze these "corrections" or anomalies to better understand SCP-914's capabilities and limitations. The term emphasizes the idea that the machine does not always operate as expected, leading to a need for further investigation and adaptation by the Foundation's personnel.
