Item #: SCP-XXXX-J

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a 20m by 20m chamber in Site-06-3, and is to be provided with basic humanoid life support. All no interaction with SCP-XXXX is permitted without level 3 clearance.

Description:
SCP-XXXX-J was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the "father of geometry". He was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323–283 BCE). His Elements is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics, serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics (especially geometry) from the time of its publication until the late 19th or early 20th century. In the Elements, SCP-XXXX-J deduced the principles of what is now called Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory, and rigor.
Before and during containment, SCP-XXXX-J has managed to implement his name before labelling as SCP-XXXX-J(Euclid) through unknown means into several thousand classified Foundation files, mostly replacing the Object class " ████" with "Euclid". Questioning has not yielded any information on how or why SCP-XXXX-J does this.
