Atlas Theory is one of the Collectibles in Control.
File text
SUMMARY:
The Atlas is a physical expression created by the Oldest House. Its purpose and function are currently unknown.
The specific shape and dimensions of the Atlas (see file ATL-03 for said dimensions) seem to indicate a more explicit purpose than the Oldest House's usual walls, floors, or shifts. The Atlas changes form, but resists observation when doing so. No visual observation has been made during its change, and it only ever occurs between frames when monitored by surveillance cameras.
A previous theory was that this change corresponds to House Shifts and that the Atlas is a [REDACTED] of the [REDACTED] itself. However the shape changes do not occur at the same time as the building shifts, which makes this theory doubtful.
Structurally the Atlas is made of the same [REDACTED] material as the rest of the Oldest House. Further observation will hopefully aid in discovering its purpose.
