Comment: We would need to see significant coverage of this in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and entirely independent of the subject. However, the draft states that "As of 2025, Eclipse0 has not been the subject of mainstream media coverage, peer-reviewed research, or third-party institutional analysis. No formal classification of its nature or objectives has been made by external entities, and Eclipse0 itself has not issued statements clarifying its operational scope."
, which strongly suggests such sources do not exist. Unless some are added before resubmission, my recommendation would be to reject this at the next review. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:17, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Eclipse0 is a digital project launched in 2025. It describes itself as a “Zero Entity”, referring to a non-traditional, non-corporate presence that operates outside of conventional organizational frameworks. Its public-facing materials reference a concept called “Infragreen Consulting,” an opaque consulting approach seemingly characterized by a selective, inverse model of engagement.
The project maintains a minimal online presence, primarily through its official website, eclipse0.earth, and several social media channels. It does not name any staff or leadership figures, except for a single representative referred to as the “Cipher Eye.”
History
[edit]Unofficial Chronology
[edit]No formal history or institutional profile of Eclipse0 has been published. The project’s appearance in 2025 coincides with its initial web presence, but earlier affiliations, if any, remain undocumented. Available information is minimal and often presented through abstract or symbolic language. Elements of Eclipse0’s design and communication suggest possible conceptual links to 20th-century intelligence frameworks. Historical references include:
• The U.S. Cipher Bureau and Soviet INO, both of which employed compartmentalized command structures and covert signaling systems.
• ECHELON, a signals intelligence network reportedly operated by the Five Eyes alliance.
• Room 641A, a facility in San Francisco associated with network surveillance.[1]
• OGAS, a Soviet-era proposal for a nationwide cybernetic governance system.[2]
These historical examples exhibit structural characteristics such as decentralized control, compartmentalized information flow, and the use of encoded interfaces. Comparable elements are present in Eclipse0’s public design and communication methods, although no formal affiliation or direct lineage has been documented.
21st-Century Digital Influences
[edit]Various digital projects and operations from the early 21st century have contributed to a technological and cultural backdrop that frames Eclipse0’s approach. These include:
• L0pht Heavy Industries (1990s): A Boston-based hacker collective that advised U.S. government bodies on cybersecurity policy and promoted decentralized technical knowledge.
• GhostNet (2009): A global cyber-espionage network that operated through targeted, covert infiltration.
• LulzSec (2011): A short-lived hacking group noted for symbolic disruptions and decentralized, anonymous coordination.
• Operation Aurora (2009): A coordinated cyberattack against major technology companies, focused on data extraction.
• WannaCry (2017): A ransomware attack that demonstrated the global propagation potential of autonomous code.
Some scholarship has suggested that residual frameworks or dormant infrastructures from Cold War-era institutions may continue to influence contemporary projects.[3] This includes the potential reuse of legacy code, the reactivation of disbanded personnel networks, or the ideological adaptation of historical programs.
While Eclipse0 has not indicated any connection to these operations, its digital posture, emphasizing limited visibility, stylized communication, and non-linear engagement, shares structural similarities.
Formalization and Public Emergence (2025–)
[edit]Eclipse0’s first publicly verifiable appearance occurred in early 2025 with the launch of its official website, eclipse0.earth. The timing of this release coincided with the total lunar eclipse of March 13–14, 2025,[4] aligning with the project’s use of eclipse-related symbolism in its naming and presentation.
Following the launch of its website, Eclipse0 established a presence on several public digital platforms, including LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram. These channels feature minimal explanatory text and consistent use of stylized visual motifs, forming a distinct aesthetic across its communications.
All public-facing communication is conducted through a figure referred to as the "Cipher Eye", identified as the sole visible representative of Eclipse0. No additional personnel, leadership structure, or internal organization has been disclosed. The precise function or status of the Cipher Eye within the overall structure of the project remains unspecified.
Cultural References
[edit]The term "eclipse" has appeared across various cultural domains, including literature, religious texts, music, and popular media, often symbolizing moments of transformation, concealment, or disruption. Its recurrence in different narrative contexts has been noted for its association with transitional states and symbolic thresholds.
In the manga and anime series Berserk, the "Eclipse" is depicted as a major narrative event involving a ritualistic transformation, during which selected characters undergo a metaphysical and physical change that results in their elevation to a higher state of being, known as the God Hand.[5] This sequence is often cited as one of fiction’s most harrowing metaphysical junctures, collapsing free will beneath the weight of cosmic determinism.
In Attack on Titan Season 3, the musical track “Zero Eclipse” accompanies scenes of ideological and personal revelation. The composition is marked by solemn escalation and thematic intensity. Its title has been noted for combining the terms “Zero” and “Eclipse,” which parallel Eclipse0’s own naming convention and thematic focus on annihilation, rebirth, and concealed emergence.[6]
Eclipses are also referenced in various religious texts as indicators of significant eschatological events. For instance, the Bible (e.g., Matthew 24:29) and the Qur’an (Surah Al-Qiyamah) each include celestial phenomena as markers of divine or cosmic change. While not officially acknowledged by Eclipse0, such cultural references contribute to broader interpretations of its symbolic framework.
Website: eclipse0.earth
[edit]The project’s official website, eclipse0.earth, presents a single-page interactive interface. It is built around a slowly rotating 3D cube suspended in a field of animated green particles. A luminous green orb is rendered near or within the cube. The site does not include conventional navigation or textual explanations. Each of the cube’s six faces has distinct visual or functional elements:
• Text Face: Contains a block of stylized text using an archaic font. The passage resembles a manifesto or internal document, but no interpretation is provided.
• Contact Face: Includes a basic contact form using non-standard terminology.
• Access Face: Features downloadable PDF files, accessible through a button labeled “ACCESS.” The documents maintain the visual and linguistic tone of the site.
• Orb Face: Displays an animated interface involving a glowing orb and layered visual effects.
• Two Unlabeled Faces: Labeled “TO BE UNVEILED,” with no active content.
Selecting an active face causes the cube to pause for exactly 33 seconds before resuming rotation. The delay is consistent and cannot be skipped.
The surrounding visual environment includes particle effects rendered as pixel-like stardust. In addition, nine green leaf-like shapes are arranged in an inverted triangular formation around the cube. This motif visually resembles the alchemical symbol for Earth (🜃), possibly echoing the site's domain name ".earth".
Mobile Interface
[edit]On mobile devices, the site adapts responsively:
• In landscape mode, it mirrors the desktop version with full particle and cube animation.
• In portrait mode, the page is vertically split between two cubes: one interactive, the other inscribed with brief, cryptic lines of text.
Public Impressions
[edit]As of 2025, Eclipse0 has not been the subject of mainstream media coverage, peer-reviewed research, or third-party institutional analysis. No formal classification of its nature or objectives has been made by external entities, and Eclipse0 itself has not issued statements clarifying its operational scope.
Unlike models of open-source transparency or institutional opacity, Eclipse0 appears to have opted for a third path: mystified transparency. While its structural elements are publicly accessible and visually discernible, their functions, meanings, and interrelations remain undefined, resulting in interpretive ambiguity despite surface-level visibility. This operational motif is exemplified by its recurring motto: “Eclipsis Ævi Nomen.”
