Department of Destandardization
Purpose: the neutralization of dangerous metaphysical concepts, procedures, and paradigms via the process of imposing collective cognitive decoherence.
Scope: possibly worldwide. No permanent offices.
Personnel: unclear, but probably less than 500 total. It is unclear how many members of the Department of Destandardization are fully human, in more than the strictest legal sense.
The great secret of our world is that there is no actual unified, universal system of rules and physical laws that define ‘reality.’ It’s ad hoc consensus all the way down; and pretty much anything can be added to the mix, given enough willpower and force. Unfortunately, just because something can be jammed into reality’s operating system doesn’t mean it’s going to stay there. Most of the really esoteric stuff can’t, in fact. That’s why magic and psionics and super-powers and Mad Science and the rest of it aren’t universally practiced; it just takes too much energy to make all of those things work everywhere, so Those Who Handle These Sorts Of Situations keep the usefully weird stuff bubbled off away from the rest of ‘reality’ so as to still get what benefits can be gotten.
