(no title)

I did have the general idea that SCP-1000 wasn't present in the "original" timeline variation, and indeed may not be completely present in the "current" timeline variation, due to a large number of CK-class restructuring events affecting past history. I'd thought that one deliberate mechanism may have been used by the Foundation, called the Bloom, something they can't really control and don't really understand.

In this view, SCP-2000 was originally created during one of those other timelines, to avoid having to directly (and uncontrollably) rewrite reality using the Bloom. The reason for some of the weirdness surrounding 2000 is that it's one of many artifacts that carried over and is influenced by its prior instances.

This goes towards the same view of the Foundationverse in which Recovered Data File takes place.

It also goes towards the old-style setting which I take as factual; the setting where Cain and Abel/Able are real people and apparently altered with strange technology, where the ancient world was an incredibly, incredibly weird place.

Anyway, slightly off track here. The interesting thing about your suggested interpretation is that it fits this particular maybe-canon-maybe-not setting surprisingly well, even if it's not what I originally had in mind. Pretty neat.
