Well, there goes his face. Again.

He aspires to make less a habit of this, but his circumstances conspire against him. So it is such that he looks upon an empty visage in the silver pane once more, finding little in the way of remarkable features on the clean, fleshy slate. Pristine and perfect for the making to the neo-archaic beats of the eclectic echobass, pumping its sonorous rhythm into his tiny chamber. And what of the tapestry he seeks now to weave?

Oh the joy! First, the gleaming pair of cyan orbs through which he viewed vibrant shades of grey. Then the sharp, hooked nose through which he whiffed a putrid aroma. Like a conductor, he controls the waxes and wanes of the melody. The cyan turn crimson and the nose flattens. Once he stops over his natural glaze and misshapen beak, but only to scoff. Finally he finishes with his desired, looking not upon the face but the numbers rippling on the metallic surface – too many to count.

So with one final flourish, he looked back upon a man without a face, watching as the musculature creased in an upwards arc. Muffled and from deep within a mouthless countenance came a raspy voice.

“Maybe next time.”

Re-examining the effectiveness of the SAV Effect and the Moratorium Effect on the negative symptoms of the Celestial Revelation
Introduction

In the past few decades, a substantial amount of work have been done in the study of ways to address the impact of the Celestial Revelation on average functioning (assessed per prevailing standards). The most prominent contribution to date undoubtedly came from Tetworth et al. (2810), whose seminal paper had been cited by no less than 50 million papers on the subject. Subsequent research mostly expanded on the Inevitability Theorem advanced in their work. For instance, Franklin et al. (2812) had identified the potential mediating impact of the Hidden Modality, a term originally coined by the late Horswell (2799), which prior to their study had suffered from an unfortunate lack of replication studies and further exploration. Pendragon and Lothschild (2814) further expanded upon this finding, making a case for their HPL Model which sought to provide a basis for algorithmic analyses that could develop a clearer understanding of the effects of other proposed measures.

There is clearly more that can be covered – from Penny and Wise’s (2820) Introspective Theory to as late as Pots’ (2831) Irrhthmic Salvager. Much more can also be discussed about the extremely controversial Heronocopeia Encepathy Restoration Edict which the State has passed with the express intent to tackle the issue. However, per the limitations imposed on this paper, the reader is urged instead to refer to the Further Readings listed at the end of this paper for reference on the state of general understanding. This paper seeks instead to focus specifically on the Supra-Aldorian V (SAV) Effect and the Moratorium Effect that had been widely dismissed by much of the cognoscenti.

To be precise, this paper seeks to address the following two research questions:

• Does the SAV Effect and the Moratorium Effect reduce the negative symptoms associated with the Celestial Revelation?
• What is the relationship between the SAV Effect and the Moratorium Effect?

Research Design


In this paper, three groups of 1000 subjects (equal parts male and female) will be recruited (n=3000). As requirements for eligibility are highly specific to the Aldorian V colony, only local-born citizens of Aldorian V are considered eligible. Subjects aged 200 and above are preferred and the subjects’ families will be compensated for their participation.

A distillery and three MeltDown™ Amalgamators will be procured for the purposes of this study. Each Amalgamator will be reserved exclusively for each experimental group and the resulting serum produced from each group would be subject to pre-defined conditions. The serum from Group 1 will be tested for the P, R and A markers in the International Standard Ectologue while the serum from Group 2 will be tested for the C, T and H markers. Group 3 is the contr
