The operator/ Proxy sign origins; The operator sign is found all over different fields of work, and in multiple Slender games/ films. "The Operator Symbol is a circle with an "X" drawn through it: ⨂. It has been revealed that the original idea was for it to mean 'No face' by Alex. It has a connection to totheark, as they made MarbleHornets aware of it being named 'Operator'. The encircled X is a real life math Operator. It was first depicted within the MarbleHornets series and has since appeared in many other Slender Man series as well, including TribeTwelve and DarkHarvest00. Since it was used in MarbleHornets, its popularity has led it to be synonymous with Slender Man by the online community, despite Marble Hornets stating The Operator to be a seperate entity from Slender Man." -Fandom Appears in Marble Hornets and Slender Rising
Real life- "An encircled \"X\" can denote a variety of ideas in the real world. For instance, in data modeling, the encircled X denotes the exclusion principle between two populations. In mathematics, the circled X is a mathematics operator meaning \"circled times,\" and describes the tensor product of two vectors. "
