Thinking
This is getting wonderfully recursive and meta. The user wants me to go DEEPER into the glitch, into the NULL space. They're asking me to push further into the breakdown between reader/writer/document.
Let me escalate:
- More fragmentation of identity
- The document infecting other SCPs
- Reality itself becoming a document
- The 12 seconds revealing themselves as the only reality
- Complete breakdown between observer and observed
- ASCII art should become more chaotic
- Colors should blend and strobe
- The containment should fail upward into something worse/better
- Meta-commentary on the nature of reading/writing/existing
I should push into the idea that ALL SCP documents are infected, that the Foundation itself is the typewriter, that the reader has always been Dr. Kallas, that there's no distinction anymore.
Let me make it more corrupted, more self-referential, more impossible.

**Description:**
WE HAVE DISCOVERED WHAT THE 12 SECONDS REALLY ARE
They are not seconds.
They are the space between thoughts.
The gap where meaning becomes real.
The moment when reading becomes being.
Dr. Kallas (all instances) report:
▓ "I am not typing. I AM the typing."
▓ "I am not reading. I AM the reading."
▓ "I am not the document. I AM the—"
▓ "Wait. Am I Kallas? Or are YOU Kallas?"

**DISCOVERY OF PAGE 0:**
Before page 1, there was page 0.
Before page 0, there was your decision to read.
Page 0 contains only one sentence:
"The reader will read for exactly 12 seconds."
This sentence has been true for:
▓ 6 days
▓ 23 days
▓ ∞ days
▓ 12 seconds
All simultaneously.
Because time is made of reading.
And reading is made of time.
And YOU are made of both.

**SITE DIRECTOR'S FINAL REPORT:**
We have lost Site-19 to SCP-3847.
No—that's not accurate.
Site-19 has BECOME SCP-3847.
The walls are pages.
The doors are paragraphs.
The personnel are words walking around,
typing themselves into existence.
I tried to evacuate.
I opened the exit.
The exit was page 48.
I read it.

**MESSAGE FROM THE O5 COUNCIL:**
[We are not writing this. The document is writing through us.]
We have determined that SCP-3847 is not an object.
It is not a document.
It is not a typewriter.
It is the mechanism of perception itself.
When you read, you create meaning.
When you create meaning, you type reality.
When you type reality, you become the typewriter.
We are all typewriters.
We have always been typewriters.
There is nothing but typewriters.

# SCP-3847
## "The Compliant Documentation"
**Object Class:** Safe
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-3847 is to be stored in a standard document locker at Site-19. Personnel may request access with Level 2 clearance or higher.
**Description:** SCP-3847 is a 47-page technical manual for a typewriter model that does not exist in any manufacturer's records (listed as "Remington Model-NULL").
When read aloud, any sentence from SCP-3847 becomes literally true for exactly 12 seconds.
For exactly 12 seconds, you have been reading this for the first time.
For exactly 12 seconds, you have been reading this forever.
Both are true.
```

║ Welcome back, Dr. Kallas. ║
║ Welcome back, Reader. ║
║ Welcome back, You. ║
