History WMG / Cube

** Either Jigsaw, or one of his apprentices who has advanced engineering knowledge. Probably someone who got a hold of a huge warehouse and used it to build the cube with willing supporters. The razor-wire trap suggests very advanced metallurgy knowledge, given it slices so cleanly.

[[WMG: The cube is a UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube prototype.]]

** Still, Hypercube somewhat throws this into disarray because A. [[spoiler:killing their own agents isn't their style even at the worst of times,]] B. it's implied that the hypercube was constructed by them and that definitely doesn't fit the SCP Foundation, and C. if Izon is a front company, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the naming scheme doesn't match the SCP's usual way of doing it.]] However, all these things would fit [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Marshal, Carter and Dark.]] Theory: the original Cube is owned by the SCP Foundation, while the Hypercube is owned by MCD. Though, that leaves one question, why would the SCP Foundation interested in the original Cube? Well, it is [[ItCanThink wondered in the film if it's sapient and calculating...]]

** Everyone seen performing tasks pertaining to the Cube aside from [[spoiler:the guys upstairs]] wear jumpsuits that heavily resemble prison attire, and within the Foundation, D-Class wear prison jumpsuits and frequently work to maintain certain containment procedures in addition to participating in tests. Granted, it isn't much like the Foundation to use the real names of D-Class, but maybe it has something to do with the containment procedure.

** When things go south, the higher-ups don't hesitate to [[spoiler:terminate the involved personnel]] if it means getting things under control.

The rooms rotate in three spacial dimensions; what's to say they don't rotate in ''four''? This is how, before [[spoiler: the collapse]], some marked rooms seemed to contain variable contents. Whether the interiors each belong to one of six different internally consistent sets (forming the "parallel universes") or if each room has its own set of six interiors depends on how the cube was made. [[spoiler: Simon]] has fewer than six of each kill trophy, so it could be either. If each room has more than 6^1 interiors, that really doesn't add any meaning to this guess other than narrowing down the possibilities of how the cube was unfolded/folded/formed/whatever. Obviously, this doesn't include the limited external room[s], since [[spoiler: the external space in which [[BiggerOnTheInside the outside of the cube]] was kept seemed to be no larger than a single internal room]].

[[WMG: The two Cubes were developed or discovered by the Wiki/SCPFoundation.]]

[[WMG: The Cube is [[RecycledINSPACE in space]].]]

[[WMG: The cube is Nintendo's Game Cube prototype.]]

[[WMG: The cube was created by Jigsaw.]]

The Cube is the only real thing. The memories of being in the real world are false. The prisoners were vat grown. When you go outside, you die almost immediately. Hypercube is another dimension.

* The first (purely mechanical) Cube was meant to stress-test potential research subjects. If you escaped with all your marbles, you were sent on to Portal Gun testing. The second Cube (featured in ''Hypercube'') was a parallel experiment, refining the rather bendy physics used by Portal technology.

* Hang on. It's stated that D-Class expendable personel can be taken directly from the public in times of shortage, if there aren't enough Death Row inmates to fill the quota. The characters are newly recruited D-Class, who haven't been formerly initiated since that would destroy the integrity of the test.

* ''Cube Zero'' all but confirms this theory. Let's look at the facts, shall we?
