00 Dedication and Inscription

I was constantly reminded in my glass work that the patterns I produced were first formed within my own mind, which I then proceeded to invest in the material. These patterns appeared to be an interpretation my mind was making of textures I had seen in the natural world. Invariably, the textures I created seemed altogether less powerful than those produced by nature: sheared rock or ice walls; frost on a window pane; light glimpsed through a drop of water on a car windshield at night — all textures I strove to duplicate with limited success.

So what were the patterns in my mind that became the template for my work? Were they simply an overlay of the natural world, or were they emotions and images derived from my inner life? What intent moved my hand as I masked the glass before carving it? Did my internal images and feelings of the day impress themselves subconsciously upon the textured glass, or were my gestures just habitual and automatic from numerous earlier commissions?

Again, I found myself wondering, to what extent were these patterns manipulated by other agents? Did I choose to conform or limit my expression to a set of dictates imposed by my client or by the architects I worked for? I can say honestly, I did, upon many occasions. This realization caused me to question to what extent are our internal dictates, the textures of our personality and perceptions, controlled by suggestion, conscious or otherwise? And what, if anything, can we do about it? And then, could the artistic implementation of radionic theory de-condition us from this conundrum?

“Kruchenykh’s most last contribution was his invention of zaum, a rubric that embraced the private languages of schizophrenics, folk incantations, baby talk, glossolalia, random onomatopoetic verse and Futurist neologisms. Called zaum from the prefix ‘za’ (beyond) and the root ‘um’ (mind). Kruchenykh’s concept originated in the natural dissociation between thought and speech in the highly charged brain…….The secret of primordial creation, that is, transrational language, could lead the artist far beyond the restraints of socially sanctioned patterns and the vise of national vocabularies.”

01 REFLEXIVE CONTROL

John Norseen is a man of many identities and talents. He was first brought to my studio by a mutual friend at Lockheed Martin who thought he would enjoy seeing my radionic work with plants and sound. Norseen had the aura of a company VIP in town on quick business.

Norseen is a big white man in his late forties. He was wearing a suit, having just come from a meeting at the Naval War College across the bay. He was braced by crutches from a recent knee operation. As he hobbled around my studio, he spoke cryptically, appearing at one moment absorbed with an inner world. Then suddenly he would be yanked back out, saying things like: “There’s a plant in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden you have to go see…this is VERY important… there is information there you need…” and things like that.

Other comments led me to conclude that he had experience with Remote Viewing (RV). Remote Viewing is a form of (mainly military) intelligence gathering that involves the viewer entering a visionary trance and gathering intelligence of a remote location while outside his body.

Yet for all the strange bluster, Norseen was a very warm and open person. It was all the more peculiar to discover that he was, in fact, a very unusual weapons designer. The weapons he designed involved manipulation of the mind.

Of particular importance to Norseen was the study of Reflexive Control. Reflexive control is a term used to describe a state where someone surrenders volition to a powerful stimulus. Essentially, a series of events or warnings threatens a person’s immediate control. These events commandeer his attention to such an extent they overpower any habitual response, superimposing a new set of commands.

As my studio contained a small museum of radionic and psychotronic devices, Norseen realized that I must have a rudimentary knowledge of reflexive control, as that is precisely how a radionics operator seeks to change the direction of an illness in a patient. Nonetheless, it was highly unusual to be sharing thoughts and ideas about these forbidden technologies with someone from within the defense industry.

After the introduction, we began a tentative email dialogue. To better introduce and explain the nature of what he meant by reflexive control, Norseen related the following incident:

“The other day, I am sitting in the back yard and my daughter yells out, ‘Dad there’s a wasp trying to sting you...’

I looked down at the ground and saw the Shadow of a small bird-like thing darting and zig-zagging around my neck...

I took off running, artificial knee and all....

Duncan…it was the SHADOW on the ground and the TONE in my daughter's voice that made a grown man run like a chicken. I never actually FELT the damn wasp...but a SHADOW and a TONE took over my entire life for ten seconds or so.

Get it? I was a victim of a purely symbolic occurrence! My free will went out the window. I ran in any direction possible to free my self from some MENTAL SEMIOTIC that REFLEXIVELY CONTROLLED my Free Will.”

So, what I have been doing is making a very careful study of Semiotics, so that if the world ever constructs a weapon that can take away free will for ten seconds or a hundred years...well…You and I will be sitting at the Radionics Free Europe synthesizer, dialing in the deconditioning Frequencies...and maybe, just maybe, a DAN RATHER somewhere will finally figure out the game!” (i.e. What's the frequency, Kenneth?)

Thus begins a two year dialogue on all things visionary; of Outlaw Technology that can shape our perceptions and the role of consciousness in engineering, art and design.

FIGURE 1: “MEMORY CREATION”

It wasn’t long before I became aware of the fact that John was part of a group of engineers at Lockheed deeply engaged in the study of semiotics. Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols through which we all communicate. In particular, Norseen was fascinated by the semiotic structure that connects the verbal and non-verbal sections of the brain. Much art is produced via this structure, and I would suggest alternative healing modalities like radionics operate from there as well.

Communicating with Norseen, however, remained a challenge. I sensed he wasn’t entirely certain about how far he could go in describing his work. As a result, I received a number of highly cryptic emails written in some haste. They contained technical terms I was unfamiliar with, coupled with the visionary rhetoric I had encountered in our first meeting. In this cryptic manner, Norseen was able to broach certain subjects without being entirely clear about what he was saying. It took me close to a year to understand what he was actually talking about.

During that time Norseen managed to visit my studio again. He became more familiar with the problem I was having trying to understand the technology of radionics and discuss it in terms of art. Essentially, I wanted to know if it was possible for a work of art to function energetically. That is to say, was it possible to go beyond the intellectual and emotional attributes of the artwork, its metaphorical nature, to actually move energy or do work in the physical world. Healing, weather modification, crop augmentation, self-protection were among the claims I had encountered among radionic practitioners. Similarly, indigenous peoples, both past and present, claim to accomplish the same tasks through art and ceremony.

FIGURE 2: LAURIE STUDIO – PLANT BIOSENSORS AND INSTRUMENTS

When Norseen first arrived, I had been for some time working to extract signals, in the form of small voltages from plants and minerals. These voltages were converted into pitch shifts, further processed by algorithms and returned to the plants as orchestrated melodies. The premise was, if the plant had the capacity to musically respond to its own signal or those of another source, improvisation might occur. That was exactly what appeared to be happening.

Other experiments we had underway involved listening. We had done extensive research with a type of sound immersion technology that allowed the listener to lie on a bed and have sound surround them from above and below. Many people experiencing these sensations felt they enhanced the image-making faculty of the mind, especially when coupled with radionic tuners. Especially vivid were live broadcasts, such as those produced by our plants and sensors, and the background sounds from space, such as you hear between short-wave stations.

For Norseen, with his knowledge of brain-mapping and semiotics, my studio experiments were a fantastic embellishment of a world of ideas he knew well. I think realizing the possibility that the knowledge he was acquiring for military purposes might also have a significant creative venue was genuinely exciting. It gave him an incentive to open up. He began to take greater efforts at explaining his terms and putting his complex ideas into simple metaphors I could readily digest.

For my part, I was having difficulty verbalizing radionic technology as an art venue. It was also frustrating to see brilliant artists imitating shamanic ceremony, megalithic monument building and other energy-based art forms without really knowing much about how those art forms were designed to technically operate. To me, one answer lay in applying radionic principles to art methodologies, where they had elegantly functioned for millennia.

I wanted to design a modest platform where the experience of using subtle energy to fabricate art was unequivocally self-evident. I had turned to radionics and psychotronics because they were technologies that were made to move energy in the real world, however mysterious and un-scientific the means.

FIGURE 3: LAURIE STUDIO - GENESIS BED² MUSIC MACHINE

I soon discovered that John’s work in semiotics, brain mapping, bio-fusion, reflexive control and all the other terminology employed in his studies and projects were a goldmine of information for the researcher in subtle energy. I fell into it, hungry for insight and application to my own modest efforts. Still, after all our discussions, it is difficult to know where to begin. Near the end of our dialogue, John passed along these comments:

“Duncan: The following thoughts are the basis for almost everything we have been talking about since we met. Perhaps, if placed at the very start of the Norseen Semiotic, they will put it all into perspective...

FIVE MAJOR ASPECTS OF THE NORSEEN SEMIOTIC
1) 50% of the brain is engaged in hand-eye coordination
2) 75% is engaged in ineffable, non-verbal communication
3) 25% in verbal communication
4) There has to be some kind of structure between the verbal and non-verbal parts of the brain, and that structure is semiotics.
5) The first semiotic structure is the “M” sound, of cave reverberation, the OM, of milk, mother, etc. That sound is the basic semiotic structure in the brain. It is related to hand/eye coordination, as the baby reaching for the mother, and it combines the verbal and non-verbal aspects of communication.

"Fifty percent of the human brain and central nervous system is engaged in Hand-Eye coordination...just look at a young new born human and see how soon they begin pointing their finger and trying to look at you or some object… making intonations and gestures to get you to respond to their thought patterns…show me that toy! Seventy-five percent of the brain is engaged in nonverbal, ineffable, communications development.

“During a rapid, preparatory onset of neuronal lay down in the ninth month prenatal of hundreds of thousands of neurons per minute in the brain do we slowly at birth and then with a more rapid pace generate the capability to speak language during infancy and childhood. A relatively small area of the brain, the Broca-Wernicke substructures along the left temporal and parietal lobes of the brain, assumes the primary responsibility for so much of our internal and interpersonal dialogues. But the vast majority of our brain is only loosely coupled to such language centers. In fact, of the original 40 or so sound types that we can access in early childhood to learn spoken language, many are lost as we consolidate into our much more limited adult vocabulary. Our many brains in one that we possess are not all equally engaged with our verbal centers. Much of what we think and who we are resides in a dark, ineffable world trying to establish semiotic links from the non-verbal into verbal consciousness.

FIGURE 4: “MANY BRAINS” CONCEPT

“We are indeed driven by a relatively small verbal brain region in many of our endeavors in culture today. But, Art and Science are not both in the verbal region...they are born in the other 75% of the brain, that ineffable, non-verbal universe of thoughts and ideas and images. It is only after some deliberation and considerable thought structuring that we can lay claim to the ideas in the non-verbal world.

“Hence the Norseen Semiotic is not so much about what we can talk about, but about how our Universe becomes acceptable to us as verbal thoughts and words. The Norseen Semiotic is an attempt to provide a structure to how ART and Science can emerge and become known to us, and communicated to others, by linking ideas. One can say that the Norseen Semiotic is the basic alphabet that arises when information flows over brain structure.

“Just as Bernoulli's Equations denote the rules of how air flows over an airfoil structure to produce lift....the NS describes the flow of information over brain structure resulting in Thoughts. To name it is to know it, to know it is to have the power of IT. What is the name of God? The Name is Yahweh!" Hence, in the search for the Norseen Semiotic we encounter the signs and symbols of God and of Nature, and in them discover the origins of ART and SCIENCE in the Mind/Brain."

“I laid out the unique structures of the human brain on a flat x, y grid and was amazed that with all the space available for structures to evolve with maximal, even optimal, energy and mechanical efficiency, I found that three functional groupings bang up next to each other, overlap, and share multiple interleaving physical linkages. This grouping goes way beyond sharing a common rich blood supply, because there would be better locations where each functional sub-topology could be better served with nutrients if they were separated from each other to a much greater extent, as they are in many other brain-based species.

The three areas that intertwine are the Violence, Sex, and Religious substructures of the human brain. And further, they are not smack dab in the middle for maximal protection...they hang out precariously, off-center, not apparently given any natural shielding.

Now Duncan, to me this is very weird from a biological engineering basis.

Either this is a very risky evolutionary event, or it smacks of some form of natural/artificial RE-ENGINEERING.

In either case, the result of Violence, Sex and Religious circuits being this close together is that any signal to one causes related circuits to fire in the others.

I was watching Walking Dinosaurs last night and the narrator says, the 50 ton diplodocus mounts the female. She can bear the weight of her prehistoric suitor because her pelvic bones are fused, enabling her to carry his intentions to continue the species. In the next scene, when attacked by an allosaurus, the male diplodocus rears up on his hind legs and fends off the attack.

Duncan, the same position for mating is the same position for violent defense of the animal. The end result is that successful sex or successful violence enable the species to continue the Prime Directive...the Prime Directive is in essence the religious substrates that interconnect and suffuse the Sex and Violence for what appears to be a teleological effect of creating a situation where the survival of the individual becomes the associated/inherent survival of the species.

Particularly in humans, the Neural Connections are elaborate and immense in number and co-location, and in a position where not only internally generated signals cause them to fire...but they are exceptionally prone to receiving many forms of EXTERNAL signals which get interpreted as being internally derived.

It is exactly this extremely keen sensitivity to both INTERNAL and EXTERNAL signals, from sight, sound, smell, touch, memory, ultrasound, EMF, etc. that causes the human brain to be in essence, a SEX, VIOLENCE, RELIGIOUS Pump.

My DATABASE of Semiotics, Signs and Symbols, when presented by various media to the human brain cause tremendously strong circuits to fire in the Nucleus Accumbens (Sex), Amygdala (Violence), and Anterior Cingulate/right temporal axis (Religion).

Duncan, fire one area, all areas respond. It is surreal.

So even if a person wouldn't do something based on his personality, the key is to reset or disengage the person’s personality (free will), and then repeatedly train either consciously or non-cognitively the person's brain to fire relentlessly such phase lock looped circuits, to the point where you insert a new personality that acts upon the impulses emanating from the SEX/ VIOLENCE /RELIGIOUS circuits. You end up with a SEX offender, a Serial Killer, a Religious Zealot wherein suicide is an option...or any combination the three.

Duncan, somewhere, somehow, the result of culture at large, or highly refined and focused cultural inputs, is turning out just such PERSONALITIES...The Question is, is this just the natural results of Five Billion people on earth interacting with modern information and EM signals...or maybe, just maybe...somewhere, SOME PEOPLE ARE USING TECHNICAL MEANS FOR PSYOP????

In Jenin, there must be specific training camps that are now producing remarkable numbers of FADAI or self-sacrificing suicide teams...much like the BUSHIDO ops of Japan in WWII, and at various times in history...only today, there is a much better understanding and precise insertion set of protocols to flip a person's suicide circuit, or sex circuit or religious circuit....

The Zen of Freud, so to speak.”

Theoretically, according to Norseen, each thought represents an energy dispersion pattern which can be monitored by mixed electromagnetic sensors and described mathematically as a “Brain Print”. This brain-print can be inverted and retransmitted back into the brain much like an encoded memory. Subsequently, the brain will act upon this inverse signal as if it were a real signal from the environment.

FIGURE 5: VISUAL BRAIN PRINT

According to the NS, the semiotic is the repository of a specifically charged piece of information. Lab rats will hit a button that discharges a frequency to the brain resulting in sexual stimulation long after their body’s pleasure apparatus has ceased functioning. They will continue rigorously doing so until dead. The rat's brain continues to benefit from the discharging pleasure semiotic. In this illustration, the semiotic is discharging information into the mind/body of the host purely by virtue of a small electromagnetic field impacting a specific region in the brain.

Norseen's point was that if you could trigger that part of the brain remotely, via a transmission of some kind, the receiver would be all but powerless over the transmitted response.

As I was to discover, a central figure in the field of Reflexive Control was the Russian scientist and distinguished member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Andrej V. Brushlinsky³. Norseen had visited him not so very long before we met. Subsequently, Brushlinsky was found robbed and murdered. Norseen believes he was killed by foreign agents, seeking the scientific protocols he had developed for a type of weaponized “thought insertion” called steganography, or “Stego Bullets” for short. Some months later I came across the following Pravda report:

“The latest piece of news connected with the investigation of Andrej Brushlinsky’s murder is dated January 31. The Office of the Moscow Public Prosecutor informed that day that the official version of his death was an armed attack, criminal proceedings were instituted on the basis of the murder, and that the criminals also stole documents from the victim. That was all.

“In the meantime, the director of the institute for the psychological precautions against terrorism, Professor Viktor Fersht, released a sensational statement. He said that Brushlinsky did not fall the victim of street robbers. The briefcase contained exclusive documents about the newest, reflexive method of searching for terrorists. The concept was developed at one of the labs of the mentioned institute, and professor Lepsky was in charge of that work.

“Russkaya Linia (Russian Line) news agency reported that Brushlinsky received the documents two hours before he died. He was supposed to present the concept of ‘Psychology and its Supplements’ at a conference. The authors of the unique technology were publicly talking about their ideas.

“As it was said, the point of the new method was the principle that allowed one to find any criminal; various psychological reflections, processed by computers, make for the detection of a terrorist.

“These new methods have already been sent to the Pentagon; a report on the subject was supposed to take place at the Russian-NATO seminar in a month. Professor Fersht wrote, ‘These methods are currently being developed at the Institute for Psychological Precautions together with the Russian Home Ministry.’ Fersht offered to use these methods to find Brushlinsky’s killers.

“Andrey Brushlinsky, 68 years old, was killed on the night of January 31 in the entrance of his building. He has worked at the institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1972. The professor was basically studying the psychology of a person and human thinking.

Norseen pointed out that subsequent to the theft of Brushlinsky’s briefcase, a whole new genre of suicide bombers, very atypical of the previous norm, began operating. In addition, certain recognizable features of these techniques became noticeable to him and others familiar with the technology. Similar signatures were also appearing in various media contexts, such as popular songs and doom websites.

The implication was clearly that a command (encrypted as information contained within information), akin to a hypnotic suggestion, can be buried within unrelated visual and auditory information, to be broadcast to the general public. Norseen strongly suggested these techniques were connected to the Columbine murders, as though the killers had been infected from encrypted web sites beforehand, designed intentionally as trial behavior test scenarios.

In an interview by Ryan Moore for MilitaryTransistion.com⁴ on February 24, 2003, Norseen was asked a number of interesting questions about Information Warfare (IW) techniques and their dual use role between Madison Avenue and PSYOP.

“The key word in understanding Perception Management, whether for selling beer or conducting PSYOP is ‘Expectation’. Tons of advertising research dollars swirls down the drain getting commercials right and the audience wrong… You have to either match up the right situations or control the expectation level of the target audience – this holds true for either media or PSYOP management.

FIGURE 6: INFORMATION WARFARE TECHNOLOGIES

“But imagine if you could actually monitor expectations non-invasively, quietly, garnering sufficient measurement of how ‘Designed Information’ is interacting with the central nervous system of the intended audience. This is what the Science Of Semiotics – signs and symbols – is heading towards, and can be seen today in forms such as ‘Engagement Indices’ and other biometric techniques of audience attention. This would appear to be the logical extension of Neuro-control into marketing and perception management.

Ryan Moore asks: “What do you see as the potential civilian and military applications of ‘Information Injection’ technology?”

Norseen replies: “If ‘Information Injection’ pans out – the concept that human perception is made up of certain invariant electromagnetic, and biochemical, lock and key interactions with brain structure which can be identified, measured and altered by mathematical/technical operations – then the stage is set to observe, capture, rearrange and play-back human mental functions from one person to another, or into any combination of man-machine system interface. The development of such Cortical Emulation Software, if successful, will rapidly usher in the potential for automated personal diaries -- Emotional Recordings, Mental Cameras, and Digital Biographies. Just as we today catalogue millions of people by fingerprints, this strongly suggests the future ability to use Brain-Prints as the key biometric signature identifier in Total Information Awareness.”

FIGURE 7: BIOFUSION - ORIGIN AND FOCUS

After answering a number of pragmatic questions about the state of Information Warfare today, Norseen was then questioned about the ethics of such research. In response to this question, he said:

“…the full impact of brain research on future military and civilian activities is not well understood in the current National Security domain.

“Right now there is no enforceable bioethics authority to prevent psychological abuses that emanate from cyberspace!

“Consider this: Right now the Hyper-Spectral Region below 100 Hz is wide open – the Wild, Wild West! And all brains on this planet operate in this very important Twilight Zone!”

By implication therefore, anyone harmed by technology impacting them in the area below 100 Hz, where the body conducts all its electrical activity, has no legal or financial recourse from the individual/agency/corporation responsible.

02 RADIONICS and SEMIOTICS

FIGURE 8: ANASAZI
PETROGLYPH

Semiotics, in the manner Norseen applies it, is a study of the structure by which we all communicate. We have to become the right tuning fork, find the right resonances with whom we converse, to understand the communications. When he encountered the sound and shadow of the wasp, Norseen spoke of the reaction impacting the amygdala section of the brain, momentarily overwhelming consciousness with a learned fear. The wasp signal springs to life an information “pattern” stored within the Amygdala section of the brain, modulated by the Locus Cereleus, and Striatum Beds, precipitating a specific biological reaction. He was illustrating how different semiotic resonances can cause our perceptions of reality to change.

FIGURE 9: ABRAMS
EARLY 19TH CENTURY
RADIONICS DEVICE

The semiotics trigger a latent behavior pattern coded into memory by a symbol. Likewise, the symbol will trigger a resonance in the brain of a specific memory or circumstance. This resonance can be extracted by a variety of possible means. For instance, the delivery mechanism could be a visual cue (like the hornet), or a specific a drug, or a subliminal pattern encrypted into something innocuous, such as a musical tone or phrase. The delivery could also be through something indeterminate, like a radionic intention, which acts upon non-verbal patterning in the brain.

Radionics is a methodology for calibrating intention and translating it into a means capable of manipulating pattern. It is a way of moving energy by use of the mind. Art acts in a radionic manner when the artwork compels a reaction from the viewer. By virtue of the stored intention of the artist invested in the medium, an effect on the viewer is predicted. In this sense, the artwork is also a semiotic structure. Art-making, Radionics and the Norseen Semiotic all converge in meaning around this one task, transfer of intent from artist to observer of art. Each discipline reveals something about the others. 

FIGURE 10: 21ST C.
VERLAG ART-BASED
RADIONICS DEVICE⁵

Art-making can be a way of moving energy and changing assumptions in the viewer’s mind. Radionics can be better understood if viewed as a semiotic apparatus of some kind. Semiotics provides a language for overcoming the self-referential limitations and occult context of radionic technology. Art processes make semiotics comprehensible in ordinary day to day terms.

Norseen suggested that what occurs when a revolutionary artwork is inserted into cultural consciousness is that the artist has welded together the resonant frequencies of various semiotic structures that hitherto have not been associated in the public mind. As the semiotics within the artwork hit the brain of the viewer (the Interpretant) extreme emotions can result. These emotions can be as severe in their own way as the semiotic shadow of the wasp was to Norseen in his back yard. The art form goes beyond metaphor, energetically behaving like something filled with motive force that discharges its capacitance (semiotic information) into the viewer’s consciousness.

The semiotitians view this process more like the radionic practitioner would. A signal triggers a pattern in the brain that results in energy being moved, i.e. a healing takes place or an emotional reaction occurs. Both are information to energy transactions. 

The technical details are critical to understanding the connection of semiotics to radionics as well as their scientific feasibility. Theoretically, each thought represents an energy dispersion pattern which can be monitored by mixed electromagnetic sensors and described mathematically in a brain print.  This brain print can be inverted and retransmitted back into the brain much like an encoded memory, and the brain will act upon this inverse signal as if it were a real signal from the environment. This process is what Norseen refers to as “BioFusion” in his work and literature. Theoretically, a brain print is a form of identification that also carries knowledge of intent. If you alter the brain print in some manner, you also alter the intent. This would explain why BioFusion has potential as an offensive and defensive weapons system.

Let me put the concept of BioFusion in the context of a family experience. I am with my wife and daughters on vacation in a remote part of the Maine seacoast near the Canadian border. We are in our little white farmhouse; it is dark and lonely and the Milky Way is bright overhead. I sit by digesting my early conversations with Norseen. My teen daughter asks us to watch the film “8 Mile”, the story of a rap musician, Eminem, growing up in suburban Detroit.

The movie is about rap music “contests”. Rap musicians square off against each other in nightclubs using linguistic combat. I begin to sense in this art form a method of unwinding the cultural semiotic. The viewer of these linguistic battles begins to feel how our society has failed to deliver on its promises to these youths in every way.

The artistic combat is to see who can get deeper, via their language, into the core of each issue, i.e. whatever is being “rapped” about. Language itself is coupled with beat, and together they become an “instrument” for cultural deconditioning.  The procedure appears to have radionic overtones. Powerfully felt intention is supplied by Eminem; the rap discourse (the instrument} serves to decondition cultural assumptions of the audience. The pressure on the rap performer is to shed emotional superficialities. He must embody a powerful authenticity in order to entrain his audience. When he does, a powerful current, the carrier wave of liberation spreads like a catharsis through the audience.

I could sense in this film the energetic power of highly tuned semiotics. The effect was the diametrical opposite of using directed intention for the purpose of controlling someone’s perceptions or motivations. Yet, the linguistic skill of Eminem had much in common with Reflexive Control & BioFusion, excepting that it liberated the recipient’s energy rather than tighten it down.

To understand one, it seems, is to know the other. That is the hope and the danger. We might want to give the artist some better tools....

“You got it. Amygdala and Reflexive Control.  I especially liked the rapper discussion...correct.  I will go over this again and make specific markings, but you are on the right track.  All communication is Symbol as defined by Object, Representation and Interpretation...communication is the flow of intention as energy using semiotics as the roadmap. 

Imagine a humming bird feeder.  It is full of red sweet fluid.  The bird or insect that sees this goes wild because not only does it compel where to land, but sustains life; the entire occupation and life senses of the bird or insect now swarm about this red fluid in the bird feeder...the Semiotic.  Now if this bird feeder is equipped with a resonance machine or extra endomorphs...it can actually reach out and snare the bird or insect as opposed to it being a chance encounter.

I see Art and Radionics as more and more of this Purposeful conversion of intent into energy using semiotics of a more and more powerful kind…the powerful kind that automatically cause reflexive control in the brain system...the amygdala in particular.  The amygdala executes pure memory; you cannot distinguish it from dream or real life or intense imagination...it is pure signal.  When you can create Semiotics that Radionically manifest at the pure signal level, then the Artwork or semiotic is directly tied into the REALITY of the intention and is very powerful...in some brains this is total control. Use of semiotics and radionics can in effect turn someone’s brain into a tool of intentional control.

03 KRYLOV SPACE

Norseen used the term “crush a person in Krylov space”, in referring to Brushlinsky’s work to describe how suicide bombers are influenced to relinquish their lives. How does one condition a person to commit suicide?  The answer, he asserted, is that a particular trigger exists in the brain, the suicide circuit.

“The 150 circuits that form the platform of our human behavior can be expressed in Krylov Space. Krylov space reveals the dark areas of the brain where the personality can become trapped in anonymity, or conversely, indicates where we communicate with others.” (Krylov mathematical methods and analyses are used for solving non-singular linear systems, in numerical as well as symbolic computation. There is no universally agreed upon definition for the term.)

Brushlinsky’s methods were unique; he designed psychotronic technology to push the individual’s consciousness into that part of Krylov space where the suicide circuit could be triggered. As Norseen pointed out, drugs can accomplish this work too, referring to the school massacre in Russia by suicide terrorists. In fact, Norseen asserted that common anti-depressants contained a version of the suicide circuit in them as well, molecularly altered to counter its influence. Consider that Viagra stimulates the sex circuit, weight loss pills suppress the eating circuit; in the same fashion, trigger a suicide circuit and bingo, you have a suicide bomber!

“The basic structure of Krylov Space is a STRING...in fact a String can be transformed into any other structure in the universe....so a STRING PROCESS is the Key to Reflexive Control...in essence, you find a small crack in someone's soul, and then you go about prying it open just enough to lay in a bit of string...and then let the wave action of the brain transport it to thoughts unknown..

“So Back to the Krylov Space results...When children are tested, over 80% of them are in the positive corners...but adults over 25 test in at only 63-66% positive…right along the Golden Ratio....now, in known schizophrenics and others with psychotic tendencies, they still test roughly positive at 49-53%....now this represents about 3+ sigma of the population....and then there are basically WRONGLY WIRED UNITS...and they test out in the 5-15% completely negative corners of the Krylov Space, hovering around the dangerous null/twist reversal points....

“What this tells me is that the evolutionary push for Humans is that at Birth up till age 25, most humans give life a running chance and think basically positive...But at the same time, there is a general side of the population to think, hence act, negatively and can be rapidly drawn to negative polarity thinkers…..Free Will is a Semiotic Tug of War.  The more you are around people, the greater the chances that you will see it disappear.”

Norseen mentioned the case of a surviving Palestinian teenager suicide bomber. Apparently his brain was not sufficiently developed to accept the modification. Currently, his case is being studied by a group in Lund, Sweden investigating the role of the Superior Colliculus in suicide attempts. They put him in a hypnotic trance to re-live the episode, and then study those areas of the brain that operate in the fashion described. The trigger to “will I or will I not commit suicide,” sits near the sex and religion and violence centers of the brain, as previously discussed.

Take a depressed person, one exhausted by war or crushing and intolerable social circumstances. How hard is it to find such a recruit these days in the Middle East? In eras past, hashish helped push this role of Fadai, or self-sacrifice along. Likewise, witness Bushido in Japan, the Hari-Kari ceremony, where an ideal reality in death is ritually superimposed over the grim reality on the ground. Norseen mentioned specifically the Kamikaze pilots of WW II placing the semiotic of the rising sun on their instrument panels prior to ramming an enemy ship with their plane. In this way, they do not believe they are dying, but entering the semiotic glory of the Rising Sun.

Theoretically Brushlinsky’s psychotronic inventions bypassed the indoctrination process of ages past. Rather, psychotronic devices work by directly broadcasting the molecular resonant frequencies necessary to open up the suicide circuit in the brain of the subject, thereby gaining control of their mental attitude.

Should these startling assertions prove true, one must carefully re-examine the tactics Israel and America are employing to subjugate hostile populations of the Middle East. As these populations face progressively degrading circumstances, more and more individuals will become prone to manipulation by means like those developed by Dr. Brushlinsky. It would seem, given the development of reflexive control technology, that the burgeoning human suicide bomber population cannot be halted by the use of massive military force alone. Rather, the condition of hopelessness and despair among these populations must be relieved; with faith in discourse, economic and political optimism restored, making such human manipulation unfeasible.

BioFusion is my name for the next generation of biometric security/intelligent inter-netted security systems. Please note that a fundamental basis to BioFusion is that brain structures execute biological functions, and that such functions can be represented and understood as mathematical equations existing in biophysical time/space/frequency/phase/quantum state Space, spoken of here as Gabor function (wavelet/codelet) in Hilbert Space.

What Exactly is BioFusion?

• BioFusion is described as what happens when you think (a precise mathematical operation), to include:
• When multiple sensors can detect and measure what you think, (Hyperspectral Analysis) and
• Map where thoughts are in your brain, and then via "Information Injection"
• Monitor, Enhance, Modify, Replace, or Prevent Neural Circuit Function — In Essence,
• Enhance, Replace, or Prevent THOUGHTS!

Extremely Inter/Multi-Disciplinary *NSF NBIC Model*

Accordingly, such mathematical representations lend themselves to machine/computational interpretation and cross machine/computational communications, hence the capability for Human-Machine interaction, and prediction of calculated results. Therefore, if known neurological circuits, reading this page, or silently saying a sequence of numbers, or closing one's eyes and imagining a picture…let's say the image of the Mona Lisa…then with the proper sensing techniques, a display based on the underlying mathematical-biophysical space can be generated which represents the very same neurological functioning. There is vast biomedical evidence of this in PET, MEG, EEG, FMRI, etc. which capture various neurological events faithfully and repeatedly. BioFusion extends the singular look of these various medical diagnostic techniques and merges them into a much more robust hyper spectral analysis across the electromagnetic spectrum, within which brain function occurs, to correlate and pinpoint with more accurate detail the specific, self-similar regions of the brain engaged in mental processing of the target activity.

By compiling a rather extensive database of discrete brain functions involved with Vision, Word/Number Generation, Speaking, Mental Rehearsal of Specific Scenarios, Day Dreaming and comparing this to various data concerning analysis of mental pathologies, a more definitive analysis can be made. That analysis can discriminate new data into discrete subgroups that reflect the various categories of the neurological circuits as belonging to normal, versus pathological, versus trained thought structures. The collection of sensor data can be made which can be defined as belonging to normal, pathological or specifically trained behavioral circuits.

Now, I want to address some points that remain at loose ends in our conversation:

1)    Visualization of numeric information takes place in a region roughly surrounding certain occipital or rear brain locations. Concomitant mental verbal processing of similar numeric information takes place in a region roughly surrounding left temporal brain locations. By looking at sensor data during the visualization and verbal processing, different numbers tend to be correlated with consistent grid locations, such that by correlating the grid location with the level of sensor data, a composite prediction of the likely number being mentally processed can be posited. With further identification and analysis (I & A), such a processed grid of number locations can be made that can be tied to a specific individual. This indicates that without knowledge of the person, a legitimate estimation of the number can be made, and further that with, or without, knowledge of the person, a map of their specific number processing can also be made.

2)    Sufficient analysis of underlying brain activity using hundreds of contact and imbedded electrodes has resulted in the ability to only require four or less sensors in contact with the head to be able to result in the same level of analysis. Ongoing research using only a single surface contact sensor, or a series of sensors in close proximity to the skull, and also new concepts that involve internal or cross illumination and more remote sensor analysis using interferometer techniques, all indicate that information about underlying neural activity can be collected, mandated against stored, active database evidence, and displays generated of ongoing and anticipated future mental behavioral patterns, normal, pathologic, or trained. Therefore, a sensor in near propinquity to an individual can be considered sufficient to collect information, which can satisfy the desired neurological analysis of likely behavioral patterns. An example could be a sensor apparatus in the dome of an ATM kiosk that could be able to discern the silently evoked number sequence of a person entering their four digit pin code to extract cash. This activity represents a potential information/business security risk to the individual and the banking interest involved and countermeasures need to be addressed at some point. Evidence that underlying brain activity can be measured from sensor packages remote to the person can be seen in the ability for infrared sensors that can determine the level of blood flow in a person's prefrontal lobes, by analysis of the heat from oxygenation processes emanating from the forehead and eyes. Assessment of patterns of concentration and purposeful behavioral patterns can be discerned by analysis of prefrontal lobe activity and eye movements.

WARNING: John D. Norseen, Spring 1998

The introduction of "Biologic" Intelligent Agents into our Information Technology Networks is Imminent

3)    The level of understanding of a person’s underlying thoughts leads back to the basic premise of BioFusion...Neural circuits that reflect normal, pathological or trained brain patterns can be discerned. Therefore, if a complex system of Internetted, hyperspectral brain analysis sensors, exchanging database information packages of representative mathematical equations and biophysical state spaces, would be able to survey a particular area and determine the brain activities of the constituent elements of the surveillance area. A person with normal brain patterns would have characteristic brain prints that would be different than another person suffering from some pathological or trained pattern of behavior. Evidence for this is found in post mortems and in other research where biomedical devices can show the pathology of disease in particular cases. Development of data profiles of a person previously trained in a violent or terrorist behavioral pattern would, much as a pathologic pattern shows up, also would show up as different and would act as a cue to conduct further investigation of that person.

4)    A very important issue is that the brain is involved in various levels of energy utilization and tends to act to conserve energy. Brain structures can be shown through various energy tagging procedures that 'truth' related neurological functions are maintained in low energy, hence outside regions of the brain, while other functions, defined as ‘confabulation or more complex orientations of information’ require a greater degree of brain function, hence more energy, and can be clearly shown on real time and captured recording of brain-behavior. The brain does not determine what is truth or falsity, but engages in progressively more energy utilization with more and more complex mental = behavioral patterns of activity, which, via hermeneutic logic analysis of such Brain Prints can be determined to be true or false, to a scientific certainty meeting legal requirements for probable cause. Such true vs. false energy differences shows up very clearly on Brain Print displays.

A functional prototype system to perform the above described capabilities was stated to be available in the 03-10 Jan 2000 issue of US News and World Report by 2005, and with accelerated funding and experimentation could be realized even earlier.

“Dear John, Overall, I have never been too excited about the Standing PSYOP instructions in the DoD and elsewhere...maybe you may want to recommend a brand new Set of Principles, using your invigorated TAAWS as an operational example for future PSYOP.

“What form of PSYOP are you...tactical, op art, theater or strategic?  Poindexter is building TIA  total information awareness architecture. Will you be part of that end game?   The Adm sees himself at these vectors…Time vector...way in advance…Space vector influencing the R&D efforts...Scope vector...regions of the US or world...like the northeast corridor and larger...Center of Gravity vector...using perceptions and technology layers to direct open and closed loop Decision Cycles...See my Semiotic Attack pyramid.   And Attack vector:  Information Injection...aggressive use of CULTURALLY INDEPENDENT In(form)ation.

“John my strongest urge to you is to find ways to create and store ammunition lockers full of Culturally Independent and Culturally Dependent STEGO-Bullets...Find information sets, Semiotics that cause anyone anywhere to have some Behavioral Circuit - Reflexive Control fire off, whether it comes from music, or smell, or TV/movies....look to the world of Neuro-Science and Neuro-Facilitation = One of your TAAWS can contain the following... Is my detainee ready to commit FADAI?  Was my detainee trained to commit FADAI?  IF “no” to the above two questions, is this person's mental make up amenable to FADAI instruction. If “no” then you do not have a suicide terrorist on your hands. You may have something else, but it would be nice to know in the Database of TAAWS that your person in particular has this or that particular Neuro-Finding Profile.

“This is the worst case scenario...then you would like to know...Is this person a Mullah or Local or regional Commander? You can find this out also with Neuro-Questioning. So if you have someone that is not FADAI and not an Operator in Command, then you really have found out that you can relegate this one to less attention and go on to the next subject for Battlefield...or preparation of the Zone interrogation.

“If you got your trip to Israel approved, I would encourage you to meet with Dr. X.  You can introduce yourself as a colleague of mine who is interested in her work in Braid Theory as applied to Human Agents.  

“This is the frontline in Human Interrogation based on understanding of where information/truth verification resides in the human psyche (as an exact result of brain equations -- remember, thoughts and truth is a function of information interacting with brain structures)...this is culturally independent and precise, repeatable, and amenable to information injection/ interrogation...only after information moves from one region of the brain to another is it becoming under cultural bias and confabulation. If you have a pristine Stego-bullet and inject it into a person and you can track where it goes.  It goes into a truth pathway. Seek that pathway and it will show you the truth.  That pathway may be very serpentine, but it will be nonetheless the truth baseline for that person.  We all need such baselines...such baselines become the starting point for Strategic PSYOP to either get there or go back there or start from there.

“Also, I can put you in contact with the right folks at NGIC in Charlottesville, VA involved in cataloging the effects of Nootropics and other neuro-effects, which will play a much greater role in future PSYOP.  I guess I am encouraging you in your Thesis to talk about Strat PSYOP, the future of PSYOP, the role of information injection and mental equations, and the neuro-physiological basis for more scientific use of PSYOP, and the role of culturally independent mind agents to steer an individual or group to truth.  As in Ephesians 6:12-18, to put on a helmet of truth, and to know what is good.  Please know that a biochemical THIQ is very, very powerful and can make almost anyone do things that are truly unbelievable.

“I wish I were in your shoes so I could investigate the role of the following in training the suicide Fadai, the Egyptian pilot of TWA 800 and the training camps of Mugniyah and Al Zawahiri, look closely into the Patrice LaMumbo institute in Russian and the Middle Eastern graduates -- especially the Neuro-scientific training they underwent.  We will face the continuation of these Information Injection and Golden Dream equations in our future war on Terrorism.

“John, I am going to be working more closely with the non-lethal aspect of PSYOP using Brain Injection and Dream Sequencing...you may want to read over Future War by John Alexander…I may also be able to put you in contact with John if you wish.  You can see some of it on the web...

“Also, for background...type in the following on your search engine:  Grill Flame and Stargate, or Scannate - bring that up to 2010 and you are where I am going.  The kind of stuff you may want to research is Program Igloo White from Vietnam; you may have to go into the JMIC vaults for this. You should also re-look at what Colby did at Bien Hoa hospital in Vietnam - he may be gone now but a good source here is the Science Advisor to CENTCOM.  I can feed you a bit based on my talks with Colby before he died in his canoe...(a heart attack) about Shadow (MACVSOG) within Phoenix. The future of PSYOP, as I am talking about it, grew out of this period, going way back of course to MKULTRA and the Dulles brothers at Langley under the first stop programs: Artichoke and Bluebird.   The legacy for today is still the work of Persinger in the Canadian labs...with neat stuff on training people in near death experiences in New Zealand.   I can fill you in on the avante garde work here…it even goes into Dubrov's work and the work at Kharkov University where KGB Spetsnaz went into flat line conditions to receive their Stego-bullet instruction sets for their dream missions.  This, of course, goes to my visits to Moscow where, unfortunately, Brushlinsky was just found murdered in his apartment. He was passionate with me about his ability to use Dream Sequences to prepare for mission rehearsal.  So you may want to search on Brushlinsky. This will take you into the marine mammal experiments with information injection and then back again to our programs within Air Research and Edwin May.  There is really juicy stuff here and you will get a charge out of it. But beware; it can bite you very quickly.  I know, it bit me too.

“You picked #6 uses of Muslim clerics as PSYOP most likely to succeed. I know this, but why...they are trained in the Brain Interrogation and preparation methods I am talking about. In 1994, the Israelis used a flight of gun ships to hit a three-car Mercedes caravan in the Beak Valley, they blew up the middle car and killed Hussein Musawi. If you look at HM in 1984, the press of Beirut, the Green Line speakeasy, the Village Voice -- they all called him the main man...and then the US took our hits...and then 10 years later the Israelis killed him. Why?  They answered my three questions:  Are you Fadai...are you trained in Fadai....are you the leader of this Fadai...yes, yes, yes...and they eliminated him. It took ten years, but that is the game...John - this is serious sh*t....and I ain't kidding around. These guys play for keeps and they are getting better at KRYLOV SPACE --- now they can train women to blow up in shopping centers on command. This is PSYOP, and it all comes down to the Brain Injection stuff I am talking about.

BIO AGENTS CAN NOW BE INJECTED INTO INFORMATION SYSTEMS TO ATTACK THE OPERATOR

“I would even propose that for the detainees in GITMO we create a database on the 300 or so...and ask each one with a BioFusion cap on their heads -- Are you Fadai, are you trained in Fadai, are you a leader of Fadai. And this would be a very valuable data base, would it not????

“Use Ephesians and seek the truth to create your # 7 – peaceful methods, with a Brain Print to certify that they are indeed peaceful...

“John, with my BioFusion it is this simple:  Are you Fadai?   Are you Peaceful?   Seek the truth for these answers and you will find the truth for future PSYOP. The answer is a simple yes or no.  BioFusion clearly shows the answer… Good Luck Hunting Norseen

“Right now, John, I can do BioFusion with just one sensor on the bridge of the nose. But soon, like this time next year, we can do BioFusion from a distance of several to tens of feet away and further with special technical methods.   I can build your PSYOP database anytime you want...

“When I was in Russia, the Ruskies had a Krylov Space that could basically take a person’s attributes and calculate a Soul Index, and then they showed me technical means to move the Soul Index around a multi-dimensional conformal board wherein Free Will would be either minimized or maximized using Reflexive Control, and at certain black hole like locations on the board, the soul would just drop in and  undergo a complete role reversal; it was easy to get souls to drop off line, but not so easy to reverse the process and bring them out undamaged.  My current colleagues in the Neural Linguistic Programming NLP and techniques similar to the Heaven's Gate process, indicate to me that the Human Brain is set up as three interoperating, but separate layers of coded information…we have a VAK unit in our skull, the V is Visual and we set a visual culture that becomes our vision of reality, we have an Auditory world where we talk silently to ourselves and to our demons and desires and gods, and where they can talk to us...and we have the Kinesthetic, where we feel the world culture and how the world touches us...If one is a master of VAK, then one can take a needle and semiotic thread and weave a most interesting stitch in a fellow brain...we can pattern a quilt or sew the yin on top of the yang. Yours truly, xxx”

Norseen’s diabolical friend, xxx, whose email assertions claimed mastery over Krylov Space, had given the impression that human consciousness was nothing more than a set of open parameters that were easy to influence with the right tools. In the jungle, where domination insures survival, the engineering of Krylov Space has enormous potential, should it be found as effective as claimed. It implies the major components of our identity could be boiled down into mathematical language and that people we don’t know or trust would be tampering with it from a far.

Artists have their own version of Krylov Space and what to do with it. In my experience, the higher use of Krylov Space is a platform for vision, where forces beyond the ego enter the mind as internal experience to teach and guide the individual in spiritual life. Krylov Space, or whatever you want to call it, is the interface with the worlds beyond our waking consciousness. It exists so that we can enter it as a journey to learn of our true identity.

My experience of Krylov Space consists of witnessing extremely powerful imagery, coherent images of photographic clarity in the mind’s eye. Another term for this is “eidetic” imagery. To qualify as a visionary experience, eidetic imagery must have an extremely powerful emotional impact on the viewer. Such visions can be prophetic and also sequential, evolving with the viewer’s life in an interactive manner.

FIGURE 16: DUNCAN LAURIE
“TOURBILLION”
PENCIL ON PAPER

One summer evening in 1978, while lying in bed, eyes closed in a deeply restful state, I suddenly found myself standing on a plateau with a large funnel of flame and smoke roaring up into the air on the horizon before me. Beyond the purely visual impact of the phenomenon, there was such a feeling of incredible energy emanating from the whirlwind that I felt immense trepidation. After a few moments it was over, for the time being.

The vision remained vividly imbedded in my mind. The next day I drew it on paper. Some weeks later I carved it into a piece of glass, to which I added some tendrils emerging from the edge of the picture towards the whirlwind in the center that was an artistic embellishment signifying visionary experience.

I came to realize that the design embellishment added an element to the experience which helped me to interpret its meaning. In this case, the tendrils seemed to be grasping at the whirlwind, or perhaps shrinking away from it.

A short time later, I encountered the whirlwind again under similar conditions. This time the whirlwind was twisting like a tornado and moving toward me. The energy and power of the twister were now firmly related to feeling merged with another energetic reality in a transcendent way.

FIGURE 17: DUNCAN LAURIE
“TOURBILLION”
CARVED GLASS

When I translated the drawing of the second experience into glass, I found myself adding converging lines from where I was standing before the whirlwind down to the base of the funnel. It looked as though many roads were all ending at the point the whirlwind exploded from the ground into the sky. Looking at what I had drawn, I realized that I was on that road; that any road I took, I was headed toward that consuming experience and it was headed toward me.

A few weeks later, a visiting friend looked at the whirlwind pictures and said in a matter of fact way, “Oh, that’s a Tourbillion.” He went on to add that besides being a word meaning “a whirlwind of fire”, it also had a connotation within magical ceremony. The manner in which I had drawn the Tourbillion also gave it the appearance of a brain stem. Jagged arrows of energy were flying off the vortex in all directions, like sparks.  In fact, it had a distinctly electrical quality.

At that time I did not have any idea of the meaning of this image or what role it was signifying in my life. What I did realize was that it was numinous in nature, revelatory, and was signaling change. Of primary significance was the fact that it appeared to me “out of nowhere” so to speak. I had not at that moment connected it with any previous experience, real or in dream. Artistically, it represented a work that was authentic to my own experience, in no way derivative of outside art or imagery.

In my case, the Tourbillion became a persistent pressure on my identity and creative output that only culminated two decades later in the detonation of Pan Am 103, an experience I will return to later. During that earlier period of interaction with the Tourbillion, we continued to move closer in proximity to one another down that road. As the dynamics changed and evolved, I gained more and more information about the real meaning of the Tourbillion.

In retrospect, my artistic and numinous experience with this manifestation of subtle energy in Krylov Space affected every aspect of my identity. Professionally, I did not begin to grasp its significance to my work before studying it in a cross-disciplinary manner, a search that eventually led to Norseen and his theories. While experiences of visionary events are not uncommon in Western culture, they generally are not given much scientific scrutiny, unless they become psychotic.

04 BIOSEMIOTICS and DEATH SEMIOTICS

I had pointed out to John that his best examples of Reflexive Control described situations where external images became eclipsed by eidetic images of strong emotional content, i.e. the semiotics. A colleague known to Norseen’s Lockheed Semiotics Group, Alexei A. Sharov (also of Virginia Polytechnic Institute), had suggested in his papers that semiotic processes permeate the entire body. Certainly, some must show up as imagery in the mind. Of those, some might be considered broadcasts from beyond the individual. I wanted to know more about how he and his associates understood visionary and biological semiotics.

From Alexei A. Sharov:  "One of the basic problems in bio-semiotics is understanding how 'something' becomes 'someone' Hoffmeyer  (1997). In other words, what is the origin of subjectivity, or how a system can start interpreting the world? Action is the only possible predecessor of interpretation. In primitive organisms, interpretation is always reduced to some simple action. For example, the sound of a bat means 'fall down' for a moth, and a source of light means 'move here' for unicellular algae. Organisms also exhibit numerous spontaneous actions which are not induced by any external signal. The question is: what makes organisms perform all these actions? According to physics and chemistry, organism activity is predetermined in its structure. But this is only half of an answer or, better to say, not an answer at all because the next question is why organisms have this specific structure? Action and structure are two sides of the same thing which can be called 'organization'."  The explanation of the origin of organization comes from the theory of evolution which in its most general form states that action and structure form a self-stimulating loop based on self-reproduction (Conrad 1983). As a result, action and structure are integrated into an organism. An organism can be viewed as an investor whose profit is self-production (Sharov 1992)...."⁷

As Sharov suggests, there are many, many forms of semiotics in the body -- anywhere that communication takes place...and this would establish semiotics for cell to cell communication and also for intracellular activities.

At some point each cell needs to know if there is life going on next door. It needs to find out if there is an answer to the beacon it sent out in search of some sign of ongoing life.  In a plant, the point of growth is the apical meristem; it wildly probes out and the rest of the plant follows. It follows the tract of light, and of magnetism and other waveforms.  It sets up semiotics for the following plant cells to align up with -- each in turn furnishing a semiotic link for the entire plant to follow. Each cell may or may not carry out a specific function, such as set up a flower or a thorn in its local vicinity.  Semiotics is the communications that establish both the local and global FORM of the object.

Some SEMIOTICS are so important that they cause InFORMation to flow to them and sometimes InFORMation (INTENT) is so great that semiotics are drawn to them.  Semiotics can make information conform to internal communications, or conversely, external information can make semiotics leap out to it.  In life, some combination of both is always taking place.  The Semiotics is seeking out information and information/INTENT is seeking out semiotics to establish links between and among properties.

Communication via semiotics and intent is probably the driving force of the universe concerned with life.

Accordingly, inside of our brains is embedded all the structures necessary for semiotics driven by information...and for semiotics sculptured and seeking out specific information to make communications hum.

Imagery is related to bandwidth. There is so much more information available in imagery and vision, so it covers a greater range of information utilization and access. Very often in the Bible and other religious texts, the message of the gods is carried into the minds of the faithful and even the non-faithful by Visions and Dreams…but it is in the unique language of the spoken word that INTENT is most powerfully conveyed. 

God even described the word to convey his intent of God as Yahweh, which is basically gibberish. Not even the mind of man could Semiotically decipher all that is God...hence the calamity...to name God is to know God, to know God is to have the power of God...but to name God Yahweh is all man can do...therefore never knowing the full measure of God.  

But man can fully name other things and thus have the power over them...and so the semiotic of speech is a very powerful thing. It isolates and deciphers all that imagery can provide.  

But Duncan, the brain is also more than just vision and speech...it is also feelings and instincts and partial semiotics...bits and pieces of other transmission pathways, such as magnetic or balance or gravity or centripetal forces that we can convert into Semi-Semiotics....

So there are many semiotics to communicate with...some semiotics reach out for INTENT and in some cases INTENT forces a semiotic to form.

Why semiotics??  Semiotics allows for testing of the Future by encoding the past and transferring the present.  

Semiotics lets the plant know if the cells next door are dead or dying and to reorganize the direction of resource usage.  Semiotics is the Knock, Knock, Knocking on the door of the future...either to confirm prior knowledge, or to capitalize on novelty.

One more concept here.  Just as you have some number of temperature sensors in your skin, so many per cubic centimeter, they altogether provide you with a sensation and perception of it being too cold, just right or too hot. Not all of the sensors are getting the same pieces of information, but in the aggregate they convey a life form to you: seek shelter, coolness, warmth, get a blanket...the information of temperature produces any number of semiotics, such as need a blanket imagery in your mind, that causes the rest of the body and mind to act, so you wrap your self in a blanket The information interacting with temperature sensors set up a sequence of semiotics that performed communications that resulted in you mustering enough intent to get up and wrap yourself up in a blanket, thus closing the semiotic loop. Closure allows you to become available for the next cycle of Semiotic -- INTENT information/communication/action -- resolution.

In our PSYCHE, we have all kinds of internal Semiotic Loops permanently and semi-permanently established in our souls; we can even grow new ones!  But it is damn hard to extinguish one or get rid of one once we try it out.

Duncan...it is the semiotic that is the corridor for information to become intent, and for intent to become information, sometimes simultaneously. This is the ultimate yin/yang known to the Greeks as ‘Antinomy’.  Antinomy is when something and its opposite operate at the same time, but with the entire system moving on to the next state.

Can you imagine the semiotics quandary at the time of death? None of the old patterns work anymore and only a burst into a new regime of semiotics will allow for the transfer of the life force into the next realm. You can bet that a Semiotic Sensor would go wild and point in a most interesting direction at the trip wire of death…   

Just as we have sensors and transmitters for all other forms of communications… there must be a Sensor/Transmitter for the Death STATE…the INTENTIONAL TRANSMISSION OF DEATH.

After reading some of the papers from the Lockheed semiotitians that you have sent, it is clear that they have already begun developing a protocol well beyond that of mechanistic science, simply by including consciousness in their approach. Is this something unique to LM and the aerospace industry, or is it an approach that is worming its way into academic science?  It makes me think that the weapon design world is already grappling with issues far beyond what the rest of the scientific world is willing to tolerate.

And going back a pace, "The notion of Umwelt was introduced by Uexküll (1940)⁸ for a subjective world as it is perceived and modeled by an organism. Hoffmeyer (1997)⁹ emphasized the activity of organisms in building their Umwelts. Recipes for building Umwelts are included in the genotype and are transferred selectively to subsequent generations. Thus evolution is not just a change in the shape of organs but rather a change in the semiotic relationship with the world. The major evolutionary trend is the selection in favor of more complex Umwelts that increase the semiotic freedom of the organisms. According to Hoffmeyer (1997), consciousness appears when an organism discovers that it is the builder of its own Umwelt. Because of this circular reference, humans obtained freedom to reinvent semiotic relationships with the world, which enormously speeds up the evolution of Umwelts."  I am taking this out of context and shortening the arguments, but isn't this bio-semiotic theory very analogous to our discussion of radionics and art?

In our metaphor, the Umwelt is the way a culture views itself. This is reflected on a day to day basis as the art product of the culture; art equals passion plus structure. Because we realize in some sense that adapting a more complex Umwelt leads to more semiotic freedom, which I interpret as more consciousness, the collective mind of the culture invests in the production of art. The profit is an expanded Umwelt which forms a "self-stimulating loop based on self-reproduction", the self-reproduction here being in consciousness. This value can also be reflected in the literal value of the art, but not necessarily so and certainly is not the only reason for its value. In time, however, the culture recognizes the 'true' art of the era, as the valued Umwelt is revealed and accepted. Now when an artist contributes significant input (works) to the cultural Umwelt, someone becomes something, but what of the reverse? If you or I absorb the meaning of that Umwelt, doesn't a “something” now become a “someone” in our consciousness?

And isn't that transaction more or less exactly what takes place if a witness in a radionics box coupled with an intention results in a change of state in the Interpretant? And so, if we are describing a common semiotic or bio-semiotic occurrence, doesn't that in some sense validate radionics? Likewise, wouldn't we presume that the primary function of art is semiotic and radionic? This would seem to be the case in pre-literate societies and contemporary indigenous peoples that readily experience transformative, energetic output from their ceremonies and image creation?

I have been reading over Cleve Backster’s new book, Primary Perception¹⁰ about his long term experiments in plant communications. I think his work that may be important in concretizing the Norseen Semiotic.

What struck me was the area of his research that investigated where the replication of his experiments with plants by others failed. As you probably know, other groups had difficulty replicating his work because they did not, in Backster’s opinion, achieve total automation of the experiments, i.e. they did not completely separate the plants from those in charge of the experiment. Already I am beginning to sense why. I see the semiotic formula, ORI, creeping in. The plants change from "I" to "R" for the person in charge of the experiment, looping them in without their knowledge. The experimenter becomes imbedded in the semiotic, an influence upon its predictive capacity. The emotional bias of the experimenter’s semiotics can alter the outcome.

In writing about one such replication failure, a plant’s reaction to brine shrimp falling into boiling water at a randomly selected moment, Backster states the following: “The plants were in a holding room seven days in advance of their intended use. They then bathed the leaves in distilled water. Any kind of experimenter contact with the plants prior to the actual experiment usage can compromise the experiment by allowing prior attunement between the plant and the researcher rather than the more subtle stimulus provided by the death of the brine shrimp.” The reader is left to wonder how a handler's familiarity with the plant may cause it to react differently to the death of the shrimp.

It occurs to me that within the relationship between plant and handler we potentially have a laboratory for examining the complex relationships between life form, semiotic and emotion or perception. At the core of the issue we have a plant interpreting an action, the death of the shrimp. When the experiment goes as planned; when no one is around; the cup filled with live shrimp tips over at a random time, and the plant’s voltage spikes as they die. It appears the plant "emotionally" experiences the death of the shrimp. But from a semiotic standpoint, the scalding water could be the object that the shrimp interpret by releasing a signal. The plant becomes a Representamen (R) between the death of the shrimp (O) and the scientist (I). There may not be emotional recognition of pain present in the ordinary sense in the plant, but only a registering of semiotics across the life death interface.

Even in the case where a plant appears to respond to the intention to do it harm, the circumstances may be viewed semiotically and not necessarily as the result of emotion. The intention to harm is clearly a signal interpreted by the plant. It has its roots in a human intention, but not necessarily an emotion. Perhaps, when the emotion isn’t clear, then the signal can’t be interpreted. That scenario would favor emotion as the primary perception. If the emotion is the object, the expression of that emotion, or intent, is the Representamen. The plant could be the interpretant of the intent, but not necessarily of the emotion. When the intent to harm the plant is genuine, the plant responds.

In the Russian video replication of this experiment (see The Secret Life of Plants¹¹), the plant reacts to a person who has previously harmed a plant, but does not intend to harm one now. It appears that the plant “feels” the previous murderous actions of the individual before it.

In this case again, to say the plant may be “feeling” the emotion of whatever is broadcasting the intent, could be incorrect. It could be that the intent is not something felt at all. It could be a semiotic feedback loop, whose whole purpose is to bring about a future change of conditions, i.e., plant murder. It strikes me that, in light of the NS, experiments could be devised that would clarify the extent to which the plant actually "felt" something or simply responded to semiotics within the environment.

Going a bit further, it might be possible to isolate a semiotic from something going on in the central nervous system, because it seems reasonably clear that the plant has some mechanism for recognizing symbols without the benefit of any nerves. This would also hold true for cells, which Backster also experimented with. With the proper semiotic perspective, we might be able to re-interpret Backster’s famous experiments in a wholly new way, and actually get his feedback or participation. Any way you look at it, framing these plant experiments in light of the Norseen Semiotic makes them scientifically more plausible. What changes is the manner in which we view emotion in relation to signal. The emotion behind the signal is like the amperage; it provides enough force to turn emotion into expression, just like it does in the art process.

When I hooked up my own plants in the same way and allowed them to generate signals that were processed into musical tones and phrases, I kept wondering whether their performances were the result of some type of induction, perhaps a sound wave moving the leaf, or whether the plants could actually create their own discreet signals and thereby play tunes on their own. Objectively, I found it hard to believe that my plants were capable of playing independent and conscious music, even of improvising though that is what it sounded like. I thought it must be plant elementals having fun, or something equally Theosophical. The plants made musical phrases on their own, but they played along only with certain types of music; at best, they seemed to improvise around the basic theme. In other words, their “music” didn’t sound mechanical. They sounded like they were creating their own musical structures in response to the structures that were being played for them. That is the impression of everyone that has heard the recordings. It certainly appears like an “emotional” reaction.

So, in Backster’s view, this would connote additional evidence for plant intelligence and feeling; but wait a minute. They didn’t respond much too thumping dance beats and other more mechanical forms of music. What they responded to was the kind of music I liked. They liked certain kinds of jazz; they loved Cajun & Zydeco; they even liked a local composer I knew. Maybe what was going on was that by responding to me, the one who watched them and gave them water, they were interpreting my positive or negative semiotic reaction to the music selections. Their apparent “emotional” response to the music was a form of induction, but not electromagnetic induction; semiotic induction.

Last fall, some friends who were making a local movie asked me to use my sensors to create a sound track for them that would represent the Spirit of Nature. They wanted this music to foreshadow certain scenes where something magical was about to happen. Previously, I had taken some classical pieces they liked and played them for the plants, and some terrifically blended interpretations resulted. However, because of copyright issues we had to go do something without prerecorded music.

It happened that the filmmakers were followers of the Youraba religion. They had a very well developed sense of the occult, and this included a belief that the totems of the Orishas in their private sanctuary at home were in a sense, animate.

This understanding being the case, I asked them to find out if the Orishas would consent to my using their totems as a sensor to extract the nature-spirit music for the movie. It is not that unusual in Youraba to make small requests of this kind. I had witnessed something similar in Youraba trance dancing ceremonies I had seen in New York, where the deity takes possession of the dancer for a short interval.

The request was granted, and my friends brought over their totems. Gordon Salisbury, our resident instrument designer, was able to find a wire sticking out of the wax effigies here and there, and set each on a metal plate for the second electrode. They proceeded to produce some enchanting music entirely on their own that was perfect for the film.

There was nothing biologically alive in the totems. Initially this fact and other experiments of a similar nature we made using rocks as sensors, made me wonder if what we were doing was something like Ghost Radio. In ghost radio, an RCA plug without connecting wires is put into an open mike jack, and one turns up the volume and listens for voices in the noise. But our signals, when processed, were subtle and appropriate to the intended usage. They also would “pattern” themselves to pre-recorded music on occasion.  Here, biological intelligence or emotion does not appear to be a factor in the outcome; it appears instead to be semiotically driven by the intent of the interpreter. Proper scientific investigation would obviously be required to determine anything conclusive.

On the one hand, you can’t call the experience “totem feelings” or describe the electrical self-potential of the chemistry (if it existed) as a form of sentience. Of course, some spurious voltage is produced by the capacitance of the totem, but that doesn’t completely explain the harmonic order created by the time it leaves the sound processor, though some other variable might well. What could explain it is the semiotic relationship between the various intents focused upon the task. Clearly we had a Representamen, the totem, where the Orishas intent and the director’s intent and my and Gordon’s intent all converged. Here, the output was a specific type of acoustical structure, interpreted by all of us emotionally, and processed as musical phrase by the Harmonizer (a signal processor). But what is the object? The object, in my opinion, was the merged ideal “geometry” of all three interests that had a stake in the outcome. Of course, one must allow the Orishas’ intent to be considered as the “object” as well.

What also may have occurred is that semiotics were directly translated into “art” without the benefit of a human doing something physical to a medium. What do you think of that?

I find something fascinating about this in an experimental context. Potentially, an explanation involving subtle energy, Alfven Waves and ZPE, essentially the Norseen Semiotic, can both simplify and clarify the Backster experiment which has defied mechanistic analysis for so long. What we think of as emotion may not always be emotion, but a facsimile byproduct of another type of energetic discharge. It would be great if we could design some simple experiments with these things in mind and see what happens!

You, the plant savior, became their ticket to survival so they patterned themselves to your semiotic value system. But what is the object? The object, in my opinion, was the merged intent of all three interests that had a stake in the outcome. Intent can be an Object, using itself as the Sign as well...and remember semiotics need not be passive; semiotics can be active. They are much more fun when they are alive, on the hunt for other Signs.

Think:  Predatory semiotics.  Sign as Intent, with Object being the focus of the intents (# of players thought focus). The Music produced by the focus of intent when bounced back from the other semiotics used, forms a Chamber of Interpretants and Representamen. Now your consciousness, with intents sweeping over the various objects, creates the linking mechanism within the virtual chamber, i.e. the music, the reverberation of the chamber.

Imagine this:  you take two people into a cave and hum at various pitches.  The chamber of tonal music is quite different than if you are in the same chamber hall with 100 people. Scale is important to semiotics...you are ramping down or pitching up the volume dramatically in your cavorting endeavors.

Back to emotion and the chakras; I asked Pribram: why are Broca and Wernicke areas only on the left side, pushing speech to the left hemisphere, and forcing an unequal distribution of emotion laden information onto the vagus nerve, away from interacting with the speech centers? Why did nature leave us with INEFFABLE gaps between emotional information and spoken language?  

He responded simply that more "Blood" pumped out to the left side of the brain; yielding better nutrients; the better semiotic neurons are provided a better food source. The rest of the brain didn't get the fresh blood. There is also in here, I am sure, some of the clash of Jean M Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear, in The Origins of Consciousness in the Bicameral Mind, by Julian Jaynes. Too many left-handed warriors took a sword to the heart, and thus were born the Right Arm of Semiotics, the INEFFABLE, via emotions in the older brain. Also, add the understood semiotics via the internal delusional manifestation of talking to ourselves. But whom are we talking to… ourselves, or our gods?

Imagine an earlier man, much like a person today, who suddenly experiences Synesthesia sitting at the keyboard and Wham!  I could smell the words, and the hum of the computer was blood red; this totally wiped me out… Wow, I am in the Elysian Fields, my battle armor is next to me, the short sword still in my hand, the blood is no longer running into my eyes.  There is a beautiful woman holding my head in her lap, clothed in the finest softest silk…  Then I wake up, a rower in a Phoenician trade ship.  I can talk to myself; plot a way out of the belly of this beast. I can feel the sun on my face and the salt sea breeze, telling me the island I seek is not far off…and I shall find, I must find, the Golden Fleece of SEMIOTICS!

The experiments sound great. We must ensure that the TipOver events are indeed random, and that the INTENT and INTERPRETANT are isolated as best we can.

Experiment:  Get a bag of seed, or better yet, two different brands of the same seed, and mix them, about 7 or so shuffles can constitute a fair shuffle. Now we purposefully pick music that each of us likes a lot, but is different from each other qualitatively as well as measurably.  Let's say a 3-beat waltz versus your Cajun hyperstructures.

For the first tests, you play the good Interpreter. Bring in only good intent, food, water, sunlight, good soil, warmth, pH and your music. Then I come in and play the bad ecologist interested only in Alaskan tundra oil; screw the permafrost, my hemi needs it. When I play the music I like, I mess with the plants. I yell at them, let them dry out a bit, blow cold wind on them, etc. Next, we compare the measurements of your days and my days. Then we turn it around and measure; maybe we can develop a bunch of Neurotic herbs? Something like this would be cool.

Talk about subtle energy; we could measure the plants when you and I open an envelope and it dictates which of us is going to be nice or mean to the plants. Now, at that moment of the opening, the plants could count on either of us to be humane with respect to them. Only in our quiet minds, when we open the envelope, will each of us and the plants know subtly what is going to happen. Will the plants be able to know which of us will be the role player?  Can the plants “KNOW” our assigned INTENT!!!

It turns out that in reading Backster, one of his biggest problems in obtaining scientific approval lay in the difficulty many groups had in replicating his experiments. In response, Backster points out that in many cases a fatal flaw was made:  “They made it obvious that they were not following proper automation procedures. The plants were in a holding room seven days in advance of their intended use. Any kind of experimenter contact with the plants prior to the actual experiment usage can compromise the experiment by allowing prior attunement between the plant and the researcher rather than the more subtle stimulus provided by the death of the brine shrimp.”

It seems that any familiarity with a plant, or perhaps any sensing organism (that isn’t quite clear), has the capacity to be influenced by the observer, in an almost quantum mechanical way. I have observed this as well, as recently as Monday. Gordon and I were doing some equipment checks, and I had a large piece of volcanic rock hooked up to the RCC (Rate of Change Converter) and the Harmonizer. To see if it would react, I played some Mongolian Hoomi music. Immediately we hear from the rock a reaction that sounded like a partial entrainment to the music but was still confused. At one point, Gordon reduced the volume of the music, thereby rendering it less distorted. Immediately, the rock went right into phase with the regular beats of a twanging Jews harp.

FIGURE 20: UKAKO
RADIONICS DEVICE

I kept replaying that section, and tried to record it. Later, when we changed the melodic parameters to better tune the rock's pitch to the music, the entrainment became incoherent again. We could not, through effort, get back to that pristine connection. This wasn’t a tight experiment, because I didn’t isolate the rock from acoustic waves or em, but it was interesting nonetheless.

We are also constructing a sensor array we tentatively are calling the Dead Souls Beacon. The “DSB” is an attractor that can be set up in the lab with no one around, isolated from em and wind, with both biological and electromagnetic sensors. Based upon the information you shared about what occurred at the listening posts on the submarines, it could potentially pick up semiotics from the floating dead going up and down Narragansett Bay. Because said dead ones are not unconscious, I propose leaving near the sensor a written sign containing Morse code, and an invitation to communicate via “hits” on the sensor that can be recorded as code and later translated.

A more elaborate, artistic response would be for said disincarnates to trigger biological sensors that would compose music via the Harmonizer. All this could be accomplished independently of anyone in or nearby the building. Will this set-up actually pick up a disembodied spirit? That remains to be seen, but it could investigate some aspects of Backster’s concerns for autonomy, particularly if the sensor material is handled properly.

We now have a variety of sensors: plants, rocks (including the ledge upon which the studio is built), fungal, egg, tissue, and cellular material to sample via Bridge or GSR technology. What remains is how to design these experiments?  How do we model them in such a way as to reveal the nature of the signal under study? I believe that it is nearly impossible to completely eliminate the spurious influence of electromagnetic artifacts both within the area of the electrodes, and from the surrounding environment outside the electrodes. But say we give it a good shot.

Next, we have to eliminate the contamination of intention that exists on a subtler level that Backster talks about. Say we find a way to do that. Then, how do we test for or determine whether we have isolated a semiotic in a simplified state?  

Here’s one idea. We try a radionic approach. We take a Polaroid of a plant sensor setup, go to another place with a radionic device like the UKAKO, that is free of dials, etc., and plop the Polaroid smeared with plant nutrients down on the UKAKO and push the transmit button, with the intent to remotely boost the plant's vitality. We see if there is a corresponding response in the plant via the electrodes. Could this approach be described as a semiotic transaction, in the sense we have been discussing?

Do you have a QEEG or EEG box?  The QEEG can do more analysis in the Wavelet and Phase analysis. If we take Pribram and the Russian work, it shows that human brain structure is an interferometer that uses Gabor Function (wavelet-codelet analysis) in Hilbert Space. So as the dead transition, they will pass through this Wavelet-Codelet space/time filter. If we can show on the EEG or QEEG any Wavelet-Codelet blips that correspond to other death information that intersect in time or location, then we have Trapped something.

Also, we should be showing the transition of hits or blips in that 7.0-9.0 Hz Earth waveguide region, with super-correlation at 10 Hz, where the being is aware of the end and is fighting/debating whether or not to go to the light. This "decision" corridor is a pulse of 10 Hz for some time. It then settles down in the earth waveguide during the transition from living to non-pseudo-living.

As you indicate, we need to provide some Semiotic that is attractive for a "soul" to want to manipulate as a communications mechanism. The simplest Morse code that I remember from memorizing the entire code is “...---...” or SOS, but based on Pavlovian open biofeedback, we don't necessarily have to have all the RULES in place. We can leave some of the how will it work to Adaptive Engagement. We may be able to leave the system open to adjusting to new rules from us and from our guests.  

The NEXUS could be one rule; use the following signal or semiotic “...---...” as a cue on the sensors to initiate changes in direction or communication to another more feasible unit of communication. Either we pick another Semiotic, or allow our Guests to pick their semiotic of choice and communicate it to us. We need to allow the Guests to set some of the rules.

For instance, in one case we may allow Norseen with the QEEG head set on to be the Beacon Relay. We get his baseline 10 Hz reading and then look for spikes that also occur in other plant or rock recordings. We allow the Guest to pick among the three for the session. We see if we can get a Round Robin going. Guest Number One comes in and does a “...---...” on Norseen 's head and points to the Rock sensor. Guest Slice #2 goes to the rock, and then another pointer to all three in succession; Norseen, Rock, Plant.

Do you see where I am driving?  Rather than just take a picture of a Guest, or show a change in an EM recording, we actually engage and play Comms tag, Semiotic Tag, with the visitors. Now try to explain how that series of events is concocted. The very Game-like nature of such a search betrays some deeper intelligence and communications pathways using the subtle energies.  

My fingers are writing most of this response under a seemingly Dictation-like feeling.  I am getting inspiration from a group of erstwhile energies that are willing to play Semiotic Tag with us....dance around the light...the 10 Hz boogey, and the SOS ...---... waltz!

FIGURE 22: UFO SIGHTINGS
WESTERN HEMISPHERE¹²

P.S. Duncan, this map showing the concatenation of UFO sightings across the country and the world is what I was trying to describe to you about the Dead Souls Beacon....at different times in different locations, there are surges of deaths above some regular earth beat.  And if you could record them and begin to sort them out you would see that there are definite patterns to how the dead show up around the earth.  Like Carl Jung said when he went into his OBE, “I found myself floating quietly above Ceylon. I believe it to be the null zone, the dwelling point of those that would observe the earth.” A century later our graviton machines show that Sri Lanka (Ceylon) has the lowest gravity pull of any spot above the earth and that as the NS passes from life to life like some metempsychotic astronaut, then ZPE of the baton handoff across non-living to living to post living will show up on the Dead Souls Beacon much like these UFO activity charts.  Remember, the Earth-Wide system must be able to understand earth-sized accessions and depletions of soul energies…the earth needs to know, in a system orientation way, if certain species are increasing or decreasing and the needs to balance the energy flows...therefore tapping the earth as it counts the NS is essentially what we are piggy backing onto.

I don’t know much about science, but everything I hear about what constitutes the substance of our existence is described in very object-driven terms; atoms, molecules, quarks, photons, even waves are all part of a vast machine-like assemblage. It can all be measured and weighed and sorted out until we get to Quantum Physics and the sub-atomic world, where suddenly things get murky. Here, perception influences outcome, but nobody defines perception. In light of the NS, perception is Interpretation, the missing ingredient of the mechanistic credo.

I suddenly perceive an object and by doing so, that object changes. Very common actually, we call it “love”. But for the sake of our discussion, it’s occurring at a very small level. An object, say a sub-atomic particle, is humming along in space very happy being non-living potential energy. Then my consciousness suddenly gives it a smack. At this point, a marriage occurs. Consciousness equals semiotic intent; I have directed my life force, my intelligence, my consciousness into the energetic structure of the particle, i.e., BioFusion. What now exists in the space previously occupied solely by the particle is a fusion of life energy and matter.

Artistically, what has occurred is that a material object that can be well defined has assumed the properties of a metaphor. The semiotics can react very differently with each and every signal that they encounter. Suddenly, there are no more “objects”, clean and simple, left in the universe that we can see and ponder. Everything man has touched has become contaminated with a hideous complexity and innuendo. Thus Backster cannot get clean reactions from his plants if there is even a trace of his consciousness contaminating the plant’s reactions. Even without contamination, we cannot possibly “Know” what that plant signal really consists of.

So, when we see or feel an Intelligence, UFO or Ghost or whatever it is that is potentially foreign enough to be beyond our imagination, you say our perception of it could be like synesthesia. My feeling is that the fusion of sensual data results rather in being metaphor or archetype, some “presence” we actually encounter. From the NS perspective, this archetype is the self-Interpretant in the semiotic. Its form completely transcends any mechanistic credo, and yet there it is, altering the outcome (i.e., metaphor) of things. As a semiotic, it grows toward life in the biological sense as it encounters other life-affirmative forces:  light, heat, nutrients, etc. Those signals add to the semiotics power to create a Representamen of itself in the future.

When it comes to assessing the nature of such a process, the artistic commonalities are obvious. Take what you say about trying to communicate with an object. Isn’t that the essence of creating and appreciating art? Does true communication happen? Science would say no, because the infusion of semiotics into form as the molecules of paint or clay are being moved around would be considered mystical rubbish by many. But some of the work we have done here (that I don’t pretend to understand) speaks to this issue even more specifically. In wiring up rocks to access the electrical self-potential (in mille-voltages) given off by them (it’s often constant), we have an analogue to what you have said before:

“Eventually in space-time, a living object will attempt to communicate with a non-living object and the result will be some movement toward life in the inanimate object and some reconsideration of what life is in the living object with the implication that at some point, a third (Shadow) semiotic or God Object will manifest itself and provide a steering mechanism among the triad.”

When we put music on in the studio and then wire up the rock to respond, we were astonished to find that the rock would occasionally mimic the music. This feat was complicated by the fact that if we put a lot of attention on the fact of its occurrence, it would cease happening, very much like what Backster described with plants. So, was it a form of induction, or a consciousness phenomenon?  Science won’t allow us to know, because even the possibility that the rock held semiotics that could reflexively respond to music would be considered heresy. So, as a result, the phenomenon becomes an art issue. Why? The phenomena have become metaphor. That is the very best explanation we can give it. The singing stone is an artistic metaphor for the existence of Gaia in the Earth. End of story, no proof necessary.

The Norseen Semiotic, whatever it is to science and engineering, is also the domain of metaphor, of nuance; placing it in art as well.

Yet the NS has made this dichotomy of interpretations a little more complex and paradoxical. It has also crossed the life and death barrier, and looked beyond. The NS introduces what you call the “shadow semiotic”, a motive force outside the agreed upon ingredients within the exercise. With a plant, it is easy to believe that some “life force” exists that is capable of responding to music, but a rock?

If the effect is not some type of electronic or mechanical induction, then it becomes a perfect miniature laboratory for exploring the nature of semiotics, especially the NS. I am in the process of setting up a strip chart recorder to monitor the signal, to see if the moments of musical coherence show up as a distinct pattern on the chart. What some real lab could figure out is whether or not this signal indicated the Universal Communication Structure you speak of, and if ZPE could be seen interacting with the rock molecules. It’s a great template.

It was with this in mind I began thinking about exactly what the NS would be like physically or perceptually, if it was to be “discovered” in a laboratory setting. Then my thoughts ran to Wilhelm Reich, who, as Freud’s youngest disciple, was the only Psychiatrist in that group, including Freud, to believe the libido was in fact an actual energy, and not just a metaphor.

I see parallels to the NS. A semiotic in the Peircean definition is still basically metaphorical, a language used to describe events.  By contrast, the NS is basically energetic, though I admit to describing it in very metaphorical terms myself. One cannot fully circumvent its energetic existence; however, in whatever weird way it exists. That would suggest to me that physical linkage must exist in some form or manner that can be witnessed energetically in the physical world. [Outline of Peircean Semiotics, see Appendix]

That thought made me dig up some material on Wilhelm Reich’s bion experiments which I saw duplicated when I took Dr. Courtney Baker’s Orgonomy laboratory course. Here again, we are talking about life energy phenomena emerging at the life/matter interface. The experiments show life energy emerging from silica. The coincidences are just too many to dialogue. This fact has led me to assemble some internet sites for you to look at if you like where this is going.

Duncan, I found out an interesting factoid that I was not aware of before…when a person dies, there are clusters of stem cells in the brain that survive for some time after death is pronounced…a last vestige of the person in amongst the pile of cells in a rotting corpse. So I have been thinking in overdrive...what if someone were to scoop up this pool of stem cells and augured them back to life in a full blown body, or at least a viable brain - would the NS work as challenged, or would some other form of sentience be at play.

Wow, this is really intriguing me…let's say that the NS remains intact, that you still have the I working in a new set of surroundings…so what makes this so much different from a grouping of cell like operations on the surface of a crystalline Rock. What if the stem cells were found to be functional in and amongst the other cell structures of the Rock? Would this not then be pre-life or proto-life? Or, along the same lines, many fellow researchers are taking brain cells, chiefly hairy piano neurons, and transplanting them alongside chips and resistors – not unlike the Ganesh rock sequences – and they are communicating and linking machines together to produce ART, as in the article I sent you. So if this is a further reduction of Chaos, then why can't a Rock surface become the Media for the biology, and intent, and the NS?   Of course, it can; merely a scalar principle from non-live and entropy and chaos to lesser chaos, and less entropy and more order and complexity – driven by NS, ZPE and Alfven Wave Grid point locations.

Now that is interesting. Speaking of weird rocks, I just received some Vishnu Schist from Nevada, the exact same stuff of the Ganesh experiments. We’re deliberating over how to best hook it up. It seems like Dan Burisch (a renegade scientist from a secret government lab with a big web following, who first drew attention to this type of rock’s esoteric properties) held a microphone to the schist, of all improbable things, picked up sounds like human singing!  There is that crossover to Reich’s bions again. (Reich pulverized rock into sand, heated it up, and out popped orgone, seen as blue light.)

You didn’t say how long those cells remain alive after the moment of death. Maybe they are there for months. If so, maybe we can make a cellular zombie.  Why resuscitate a whole body? Why not put them in a Petri dish like the rat brain cells, and see if they can generate a pattern or a melody. Or let’s say the dead person had some favorite music; you could play that music for the cells and see if it wakes them up?

Now back to the stone. Why does it produce bions? Life force is imbedded in the rock and serves as an Interpretant for some type of cosmic process that takes place on planetary objects. The bion isn’t a cell, but it could contain ZPE and semiotic information. Maybe that is why the body needs minerals. I don’t think you need a cell in the rock surface to find the NS, if you buy the notion of bions. The cell conveniently provides DNA, or a biological semiotic data base with which to create linkage with other complex systems, such as the chips.

In the case of the rocks, instead of a DNA output, maybe you get a nested electrical pattern such as the electrical self-potentials that I use to generate sound. In the same sense that the rat neurons generate art and slowly move toward order, the rock bions occasionally pattern themselves electrically against the music.  What the rat researchers don’t consider are all the experimental complications that Backster pointed out regarding biological communications. Human intent interacting in any way with the experiment causes serious drift as the process unfolds. To me, that is the Interpretant’s NS traveling upstream through R to O influencing the activity radionically.

I had a sudden extreme urge to answer this On the Spot response of yours with the following comments: And the Bible says to build upon the Rock...maybe there is some literal truth there.

The rock provides the best supporting structure for the NS to form biologically. The Rock provides the necessary crystals, the solid foundation basis, the surface exposure, the electrical properties, etc., etc., that soil, or beach sands alone could not. So, just as it takes 49 days for the structure of the Pineal Gland to get to the point where it can juice out DMT and the soul molecule is distributed in the brain, maybe the Vishnu Schist (great name isn't it) is like the Pineal Gland, it allows for all the right properties to be aligned and Juiced Out, and maybe formed in the earth's electromagnetic history with all the right Alfven Wave grid patterns and other ZPE transfer qualities that the NS requires when looking for a home for the soul…maybe this Vishnu Schist is the right Rock of Life.  

I am also becoming convinced that the Nitrogen molecule is the Interpreter of the NS in the brain...everywhere I look at soul-like activity in the brain the molecules involved all resonate around the special properties of the N molecule. Maybe there is a relationship to how biological molecules, and the N molecule in particular, lay out in relationship to the Ganesh activity of the Vishnu Schist…..Keys to unlock the Earth's secrets of the universe, via the rock into the biological system for further elaboration in time/space.

You wrote “The value of a deeper contact with reality, the environment in which semiotics inhabit is at the least, circular, and most likely multi-dimensional.  How does that explain rocks that sing and plants that cry?”   

Wow, I was just now describing how I felt compelled to write the words to you in a playful way. I talked about the deeper energies (deeper contact with reality), and the circular, multidimensional semiotics (the round robin semiotic tag) and the souls and rocks that sing and the plants that cry?  (the brain, the plant and the rocks, measured by EEG, etc...)

Once again, it is like I am dictating a response to you from somewhere that anticipates what your next message is.  I answer the next message with the ending of the last prior message. The answers we may be seeking will show up at the front end, or tail off, of a prior/next message.  Or another way to look at it, we may be getting the answers or snippets and slices of the earlier or follow up signals. SEE, already they are playing TAG with us!!!

05 SEMIOTIC BATTERIES

At one point early on I was having a problem with the overlapping of your terminology. Semiotic was beginning to mean too many things at different times and contexts. Let me drop back a step and address this again.

Instead of semiotics, we could just say everything is frequency and wave-form and other forms of energy and never even get into signals and symbols. So why do we need semiotics?

My sense is because symbol and signal happens to be the way our human perception and communication functions and so they are important. If a semiotic is a form of information, meaning literally the form information takes, then we are getting somewhere.

Information is all frequency and waves, etc. until the mind gives it a form, which we are calling a semiotic; is that it? If so, then there is the matter of intent, call it our attention. Intent remains formless; it is the life force, the God, the Soul in all that is born and dies. Intent is that which becomes reduced by association to various drives and responses to things seen and unseen. This intent shapes frequencies into semiotics so it can reflect upon them, interpret them and communicate them to others.

Now, you say the semiotic is like a copy machine, grinding out duplicates for distribution, which are periodically revised and sent out again. Now they are acting like what we know of information. The difference being, some transmittals/copies contain more life force than others. Intent is amplified by life force. When a large presence of life force impinges upon a semiotic structure, the structure is affected.

You have given me a clue to another attribute of a semiotic, the ability to store and release information and/or energy. This could also be the ability to resist or to regulate information flow as well; a true “form”. By God, now it's an appliance!

Consider art as another type of semiotic appliance, one designed to carry sacred and cultural information beyond the merely mechanistic or pragmatic.  Does this function qualify Art as a rarified technology, where symbols are combined to allow the underlying forces they symbolize to resonate into new semiotic constructs, new forms of awareness and intent on the planet?”

I was hoping to elevate the discussion of semiotics to a higher purpose beyond its militaristic implications. I kept wondering where soul, emot
