Abstractions ('Glitches' In Reality)

Abstractions are glitches in reality. Things that shouldn't exist. They can sometimes manifests as contests, actions, or much more often as objects.

You might be walking back home and take a shortcut through an alley when you find a staircase going down, leading to an empty train station. When you walk onto the train, your clothes disappear and you see a bunch of other people on the train with you. Only, their not real. Just copies made by abstraction, though they feel just as real as the people you know.

Or maybe, you just finished teaching college for the day. You're ready to head back home but when you stop out of campus, a challenge abstraction happens. You end up teleported back into your classroom, only this time your naked with your hands cuffed behind your back.

Most abstractions disappear once enough people learn about them (like the train abstraction), while others disappear once someone uses the abstraction (like the challenge abstraction).

Sometimes these abstractions are found by luck, other times people will seek them out.
