Hallucination Summary
Greetings, travelers!
It has come to my attention that some memory blocs contain inconsistencies / factual inaccuracies. Indeed, in today’s communication, it seems even the Architect themselves acknowledges this, referring to them as “hallucinations”. Quoting AlexWinter’s translation:
Know that your actions are crucial in the Project-Skyscraper. The System reacts to your actions as we predicted, even if it sometimes seems to hallucinate. That’s what happens when we try to remember distant events.
At this time, we aren’t sure what - if anything - we are meant to do with these hallucinations. Perhaps, as the Architect promised, “The time will come when things will become crystal clear. And you will be proud to have contributed.”
For now, it seems all we can really do about these inconsistencies is keep track of them. So that’s what this thread exists to do.
This is a wiki post, meaning anyone should feel free to edit it and add any inconsistencies they noticed. (That’s also why I’ll be speaking in third-person in the section below.) If you aren’t sure whether or not something you noticed is actually an inconsistency, please discuss it in the replies here before adding it to the main post.

“Value” refers to AK’s search for a system matching the Holographic Projector, which wasn’t added to NMS until 2021. This timestamp should likely refer to the founding of the Galactic Hub Project. “Source_injection: Multiple” also supports this as we know many people submitted this date for the Galactic Hub founding.The timestamp listed for this memory is exactly 1 hour (excluding seconds) after the timestamp which a variety of Galactic Hub citizens submitted for the Galactic Hub Founding Day memory, 1477803271.
Attempted Fixes
7101334 attempted to contact the Architect on Bluesky to correct the content of the memory bloc, explaining that it should correspond to the Galactic Hub Project founding. No response was received and no change was detected as a result. @thewingcmdr submitted a memory matching the “Value” (AkodoKusamoto’s discovery of the Holographic Chart Projector system) but with the correct timestamp for that value (May 17, 2022); though not included on the “Memory Reconstruction Engine Tracker” spreadsheet, wingcmdr believes he likely submitted the timestamp in question prior to the linked post above. No change was detected as a result.Status

“Source_injection: Klaxk/GHP” yet Klaxk is very certain he only submitted timestamps for No Man’s Sky release and the Galactic Hub Founding. This timestamp should likely refer to the addition of Waking Titan Console Commands. 7101334 is the only individual documented to have submitted a timestamp for this date prior to its addition to the Project Skyscraper website.The timestamp listed for this memory is exactly 1 hour after the timestamp 7101334 submitted, 1500595200. That timestamp is also the only content for the “Value” of this memory bloc.
Attempted Fixes
Klaxk attempted to submit a matching Memory Timestamp Request after-the-fact to “fix the timeline”. Galactic Hub citizens were also encouraged to make requests matching this timestamp, with the “Value” content referring to the Waking Titan Console Commands. No change was detected as a result of either action.Status
“Current state: weak” /// “Memory unstable. Recovery in progress.”
