What is the most widely accepted explanation for the creation of the Backrooms? And could my theory be considered canon?

What is the most widely accepted explanation for the creation of the Backrooms? And could my theory be considered canon?

Looking at how the corridors of the Backrooms repeat and extend to infinity, my idea is that the Backrooms are "living fractals" capable of absorbing certain characteristics from outside. They are in the same dimension but superimposed in layers, and at the center of each fractal reside these entities. And by opening a door to our world, each of these fractals absorbed some of the characteristics of our world. Is this idea original? Or could it be a valid explanation?

Is it any coincidence that Ivan Beck’s signature looks crazy similar to the bacteria in found footage?

I noticed the similarity when I was watching through the series again - when you rotate the signature 90 degrees, it’s almost the same shape.

fun fact: the original backrooms carpet was actually purple

according to the images from the rohner's furniture renovation the carpet used in the showroom was neither yellow nor brown, it was actually a desaturated pink. shown is a color corrected version of the original backrooms image to best represent it

Data Center 0.

An old data center that was ripped out. A couple filters thrown on top but yes this is a real photo. I’ve really been delving into my old photos to share with you peeps and I hope you’ve been enjoying them. More to come in the future.

I made a showcase for my Bacteria model!

This is just a little showcase I decided to share. Please note that this is not the final showcase, and that I will change the details in the image and hopefully improve it by a lot. Currently it still looks kind of blank so I will happily accept any feedback!

The official poster for Backrooms looks 1000x better than any of the fan-made ones created over the past few years. let me know what you think.

out of any of the fan-made posters, the official one beats all of them by a mile.

We're 9 days away from the movie's release, and I don't think there's a popcorn bucket or anything for the *Backrooms* movie

If there were going to be a Backrooms popcorn bucket, I would have mentioned it last month, but we’re just 9 days away from the release, and I don’t think there will be one after all—at most, they might just give out personalized movie tickets.

Books

Does anyone have book recommendations that give off the vibes of the backrooms? Like weird, confusing stories

Maybe a little like strange youtube ARGs?

Could be writing this wrong, and am posting this for my sister haha. Recommendations would be nice, thanks

Remade the backrooms level 0 in Roblox AGAIN cause the other one looked inaccurate

Remade Level 0 for my game again because the old version looked bad. I redid the lighting, textures, and layout to make it feel more like the original Backrooms image and less repetitive. I’m still tweaking some things, but this version already feels way more accurate. You guys let me know if I should change anything.

Ever afraid you're being watched while you sleep?

Making this LoFi horror game called 'Project Looking Glass'. You explore dozens of creepy and liminal spaces trying to uncover the mystery of what happened to you. Been using my dreams (nightmares) a lot as inspiration since most of the levels are little vignettes like this. Got amazing feedback last time I posted so wanted to share more!
