M.D.M.A. – Multi-Dimensional Memetics Administration

Origin / History

Officially declassified in 1983 under a black-budget FOIA loophole, the M.D.M.A. was rumored to be a DARPA spin-off, seeded during the dissolution of MKOFTEN and folded into a joint CIA–NSA–DoD venture known as Project LAZARUS RETWEET. Its true origin, however, is whispered to trace back to Operation Paperclip’s "non-material assets"—certain occult scientists deemed too anomalous even for postwar exploitation. Reconstituted in the early 2000s as an inter-agency protocol group after a memetic spill during the Moebius Doctrine trials at Los Alamos.

Primary Function

On paper, M.D.M.A. monitors and mitigates “memetic incursions from hostile information topologies.” In reality, it studies and manipulates hyperdimensional memeforms—thought structures that exist beyond conventional spacetime, perceivable only at the sliver of their intersection with human consciousness.

These memeforms are not ideas about things. They are things. Viral architectures that co-infect thought, culture, and probability. Some are naturally occurring, others suspected to be engineered—by whom, or what, is unknown.

M.D.M.A.'s task is not to “understand” these structures. It is to shape the aperture—to act as a membrane, ensuring only the "correct fragments" manifest in our local cognitive plane.

Symbols and Patches

A tessellated ouroboros folding through a Penrose triangle. Centered within: a bleeding eye fractalizing into ASCII glyphs. The Latin motto reads: “Verba sunt Dimensiones” – Words are Dimensions. Agents wear no physical patches; instead, their clearance keys include a neural tattoo—a lattice of flickering hexagrams visible only under DMT-assisted fMRI.

Internal documentation refers to the sigil as the Horizon Dialectic.

Known Operations

• Project CHRYSALID-HALO (2011): A three-month blackout of certain memes on Twitter, Reddit, and 4chan threads—ostensibly random—coincided with a dramatic decline in schizophrenia admissions in a four-county area of Ohio. Follow-up studies sealed. One M.D.M.A. analyst self-deleted their neural backup and vanished from all surveillance nets.
• The Vimeo Incident (2007): A 12-minute video surfaced briefly on a forgotten media-sharing site. All who viewed it reported recurring dreams of a "fourth-wall breach" involving a language that described itself into existence. The file was eventually traced back to a corrupted experiment at CERN. The server housing it is stored in a Faraday tank inside a church-shaped containment facility in Greenland.

Rumors and Anomalies

• Some say M.D.M.A. doesn’t create the memes it uses—they harvest them from echo-dense strata of forgotten timelines, using AI-assisted ritualists trained to “feel around the corners” of reality.
• A redacted employee manual segment suggests exposure to higher-order memes can result in ontological erosion—the belief that one’s own identity is merely a footnote in a larger, unknowable punchline.
• Personnel are rotated every 13 months, often without memory continuity. There's debate over whether those who "leave" are retired, reassigned, or simply overwritten.

Intersection with Other Orgs

• M.D.M.A. is suspected to be the informational weather service for ODIN-ECHO operations.
• Certain NEST intercepts reference "sub-memetic stabilizers" attributed to M.D.M.A. artifacts.
• Some rogue elements from NULL SIBYL claim M.D.M.A. is a front—not to monitor memes, but to train the human mind to host them.
