contents We systematically introduce and study a new type of singularities, namely, exceptionally non-canonical (enc) singularities. This class of singularities plays an important role in the study of many questions in birational geometry, and has tight connections with local K-stability theory, Calabi-Yau varieties, and mirror symmetry. We reduce the termination of flips to the termination of terminal flips and the ACC conjecture for minimal log discrepancies (mlds) of enc pairs. As a consequence, the ACC conjecture for mlds of enc pairs implies the termination of flips in dimension $4$. We show that, in any fixed dimension, the termination of flips follows from the lower-semicontinuity for mlds of terminal pairs, and the ACC for mlds of terminal and enc pairs. Moreover, in dimension $3$, we give a rough classification of enc singularities, and prove the ACC for mlds of enc pairs. These two results provide a second proof of the termination of flips in dimension $3$ which does not rely on any difficulty function. Finally, we propose and prove the special cases of several conjectures on enc singularities and local K-stability theory. We also discuss the relationship between enc singularities, exceptional Fano varieties, and Calabi-Yau varieties with small mlds or large indices via mirror symmetry.
