Designation Euclid

Designation Euclid refers to any Critical Asset whose status and/or behavior cannot be unerringly predicted, either because the item is sentient, it behaves outside of current scientific knowledge, or its nature is simply poorly understood at present. Designation Euclid objects do not pose the same existential threat due to containment breach that Designation Keter objects do, but they still generally require more diligence to keep contained than Designation Safe objects.

Although many Designation Euclid objects could be used for the benefit of the Centre or of humanity, they may have unforeseen ramifications after their use due to their unpredictable nature. Some Designation Euclid CAs are eventually understood well enough to be reclassified to Designation Safe, but most remain inscrutable even to the most rigorous of experimentation.
