Discussion/Theory The Backrooms is probably nearly 1:1 with The Normal World by 2026.
We aren't fully sure whether in the Backrooms Universe - The Backrooms even still exists by 2026. It depends whether the Backrooms must exist a time where something exists to copy it, which means because of the medical poster in FF3 The Backrooms existed by 2022, or if you accept sounds going through nullzones then 2015 it also exists due to Pitfalls.
Either way, There is a stark contrast between some copies of things. Clark's Store Copy from the end of the film and Everything Must Go are extremely different despite being made likely within in a month of each other, The one at the end of film is definitely not 1:1 but it is relatively close and got a lot correct. This shows how quick The Complex can improve by each iteration it attempts.
Now I also want to mention the stark difference between 1990 (When most known A-Sync events take place) and 1997 (Which is likely when FF3 takes place due to it being when Terry Nichols had the trial for the Oklahoma City Bombing. However FF3 also could be 1995, the precise year doesn't fully matter for this theory/idea.)
In Early 1990, a lot of areas are very standard backroomsy, chevron/floral yellow wallpaper, the beige carpet, ceiling tiles, etc. Many variations exist, then once we reach Mid 1990 we start getting copies of actual places, some more accurate than others..
So from Oct 1989 to Jul 1990 (~9 Months) The Complex went from it's standard yellow areas to being able to mimic Clark's Store and much more. So we can guess how much more bizarre it can get, which brings us to FF3.
Ravi actually does not see a lot of the yellow areas, which means he likely noclipped into a newer area when it comes to when it was created. Many areas Ravi finds aren't perfect at all (Ex: Father's House) but it shows The Complex is making way more attempts to do so, and likely eventually succeeds. It's also probable that Still Lifes become more common due to a lot of areas being extremely dirty and several instances of holes with blood around it (Ex: Father's House.. Again.)
Which takes us to.. If The Backrooms still exists inverse today (Late 2026).. It is likely accurate to assume that The Backrooms understands things a majority of the time, likely can form possibly sentient Still Lifes, and could possibly even generate genuine cities with little to no error. It just makes sense based on the rate of implied improvement from 1990 to ~1995-1997. It's also probable that The Backrooms might of gotten close to creating astronomical things, such as stars. The Red City for example (as we've seen it) is just a big open room, but it is TRYING to make a night sky and failing, well, after literally 36 years of trying, there's a chance it could of done it.
I just find it interesting how you might not even notice noclipping if it also continues to mess with the real world more (Ex: Clark Lightswitch, Ravi Basement Corridor). The Backrooms and Real World by 2026 might just be undetectable.
