Null Zones are areas of the Backrooms that connect to the real world. Things and people from the real world that fall through the ground into the Backrooms do so via Null Zones. The Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System (Threshold) is connected to the Backrooms via a Null Zone. The idea that people and objects can enter the Backrooms through Null Zones was theorized by a scientist working for the Async Research Institute named Miller.
Other variations of Null Zones include a phenomenon discovered within the Backrooms. These zones are only noticeable due to an elevation difference and the distortion they can cause to camera equipment. Some of these distortions allow for electronic broadcasts to be heard from the future, which can be seen in Pitfalls when audio from an interview is heard decades before it happened. How these zones come to be is unknown, with the only explanation provided mentioning "elevation differences". One of these Null Zones, labeled "Null Zone 4", appears to duplicate part of an area to the left of the zone. As of now it is unknown if these 2 areas are distinct rooms, or if entering Null Zone 4 will lead to the room on the left. But that might be a blueprint instead.
The word "null" means two opposing quantities canceling each other out (like two equal waves cancel each other) while the "kx" that appears in the description of Null Zone 4 is likely to make reference to formulas regarding electromagnetic field equations. Due to this and the fact that all known persons who no-clipped into the Backrooms were using devices which emanate electromagnetic waves (including cars) it has been theorized that people no-clipp when an electromagnetic wave from the real world encounters and cancells one coming from the Backrooms in a Null Zone, creating a small portal through which people and objects can fall into the alternate dimension, although all of this is highly speculative.

- Acording to a Youtube Comment[1], The blurred text reads "Due to the elevation discrepancy between panel 225 and 234 a small KX field is created"
