scp minor phenomenon proposal: a mathematical calculation involving well understood objects which takes some amount of work to solve, and gives different results depending on your philosophy on the foundations of maths despite not involving any sort of logic in its definition. the order of an element in some higher homotopy group of some slightly unusual space is 2 if you're a formalist, 3 if you're a platonist and 37 if you are an intuitionist.
