Update for previous week

Jan 31

Posted by Brad in Uncategorized | No Comments

Sorry folks, but life has been happening! I have not done much on the blog for the last week and minimal effort on the social media front… I spilled an entire cup of coffee on my old laptop, frying it completely. Not only that, but I had to wait for the new one to arrive, and it is much better. Likewise, I ordered a gaming laptop this go around and figured it would do better for the virtualization of my Linux install, instead of running Debian natively this go around. Getting accustomed to Microsoft Windows, again. It’s a learning curve since I spent the last year on Linux. But, with this setup, I have both. Which will make editing and formatting a lot easier for the Kindle market.

I apologize for not making a blog post sooner, but I have also been babysitting at my parent’s house. They are out of town. I did make a couple of posts on social media, I have around 3,250 followers now; across all social media platforms. I have been active lately on the Facebook group, but that’s growing a bit faster than Mastodon. Bluesky is a dream, though.

I have also updated my picture across the internet, figured I would put on a tie for you folks…

Stick-tune for further updates!

Surmise The Rise

Jan 23

Posted by Brad in poetry | No Comments

I’m trying to expand my poetry with some song lyrics… For better expression of the things I’m feeling. I hope you enjoy it!

[Verse 1]
Yeah, baby, would you pay for me?
Would you let me crash in your very bed?
Because I could make it big or end up a little dead, lying on the pavement
But if I were to die…
If this ship were to go down and you survive
Would you ever wonder what your ‘rents meant when they sold you the idea of us all in heaven?
Because I don’t feel like myself, in this black coven of deep depression

A store-bought attention span
This candy-coated pile of shit
You’re not a rebel, in need
Made of a useless commodity
Broken promises with a broken jaw
These lies are told in a drawl
Poor values are your shtick
A real thing would kill you quick
I surmise that you’ll rise
Blood and wood used to make a fire
Burnt and kindled by our lives
I missed the sinking ship

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder what is wrong with me, for I killed this mood so purposefully
Your guest fills me with such loneliness

[Chorus]
Same old song and dance
As we sing the lyrics
As we sing the same old song, then dance

Billboard designs, with flowing tears
It’ll be over soon, now and then
The signs are gone, won’t come again.
Your name is struck from the list
A real thing would kill you quick
I surmise that you’ll rise
Will you fight against the nothingness?
It’s evident that you’re so unreal
I’ll never be one of your kind
This ain’t ours. Screw you if you try
(This was never yours, don’t try)
Cross that burning bridge

[Verse 2]
In Hawaii, where there’s tar pit black sand, like a starving mouth of openness
You said we would go, and see the sand before they jacked our boringness
In the bright sunshine, we’d sprawl on the dunes and leave the world behind
These thugs pretended to care
I’ll never see you in the sun again

I won’t reap the benefits of this loss
Go home son, hang up your shame
This goddamn insult thrust upon you
This thousand-yard stare across you
A bloated belly and lying mouth
Dana’s coy plays heretic
A real thing would kill you quick
I surmise that you’ll rise
Will you fight against the nothingness?
It’s evident that you’re so unreal
I’ll never be one of your kind
This ain’t ours. Screw you if you try
Screw you, our time is over
Screw you, you’ve had enough
Screw you, my time is up
Screw you, shouldn’t have tried

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder what is wrong with me, for I killed this mood so purposefully
Your guest fills me with such loneliness
We partied with your friends, but that is done
I’m lying on the floor tiles, spilling my guts to anyone who’ll listen

[Chorus]
Same old song and dance
As we sing the lyrics
As we sing the same old song, then dance

SOC: Media Control

Jan 22

Posted by Brad in Digitalis, ERI, SOC | No Comments

Certain themes of thought exist within the algorithm structure. Because they are created pragmatically, they are highly individualistic to each candidate. Each Digitalis has a number of these which occur naturally in the data structures of the systems control scripts. The scripts run constantly. Due to this repetition, these patterns often rise to the surface of the assets’ perceptions. They are utilized to build up the media processed by the scripts. This media holds the candidate’s attention and focus, allowing the higher-level script to function. These patterns are found through the data package, which includes the various media and control scripts. At its most simplest, a data package will include three short-form videos. These are often accompanied by themed music and a synced series of tones from the harmonic system. The music relaxes the different hemispheres of the brain. Meanwhile, the opposing hemisphere focuses on the video content and absorbs the words. It also covers the usage of the harmonic system. The delivery of data packages can be deployed across a range of mediums. This is an example:

A candidate opens up a short-form video social media application, on their cellular phone. The first video is one of astronomy with symphonic metal background music. She watches it, and her right hemisphere is relaxed by the pretty colors of stars colliding. The music unconsciously produces a counting in the left hemisphere, syncing the control script. She swipes up. The next video is an instructional piece about cooking a pasta dish. It is accompanied by an electronica song, with heavy beats. The bass from the song, with it’s rhythmic beats, lulls the left hemisphere into relaxing. The right side, which is the seat of desire and thus food, is excited. The counting is now done by both hemispheres, as they are synced by viewing both videos. This primes the brain by syncing a control script through media. The next video, as she swipes up, can be two things… An advertisement or a suggestion. An advertisement is a simple outcome, a method of control. Buy this thing or service, lose capital, and remain under pressure and control. Or it would be more devious. It could be of political, in nature. As her brain is primed for suggestion, it is intently controlled. She could be swayed by the political media. This allows for her views to be made more extreme. They could even be changed entirely with a succession of data packages, over time. Now let’s pick this apart.

A common control structure contained in the various scripts is that of the pattern: Left, Left, Right. Or in a more philosophical method of saying it at a higher level, “Two wrongs don’t make you right.” In the previous example of a data package, the first video is a left-tagged media. Then the next video short is a right-tagged media. The third video is the final wrong. In this case, it is left-tagged media where the control center is held in the left hemisphere. And we all know from pop psychology, the rule of three. This principle comes into play, when the control scripts become more complex, through repetition.

Each candidate has a unique series of patterns within the System of Control. These patterns are expressed in their control scripts. The above is simplistic. It is often used at a lower level to build up the more complex scripts needed for control. Remember, each candidate is unique and starts as a complex human being.

The Cardboard Box Conspiracy

Jan 17

Posted by Brad in poetry | No Comments

This poem, “The Cardboard Box Conspiracy” by George Brad Million, portrays a dystopian near-future. In this world, a former president faces assassination by a teenage boy. Powerful government agencies manipulate the boy. The poem explores themes of government conspiracy, media manipulation, and the erosion of trust in institutions.

A shadowy network orchestrates the assassination. This network involves the CIA, FBI, and other agencies, which are driven by a desire for power and control. The poem emphasizes the impact of propaganda on public perception. Misinformation also plays a key role in justifying the actions of these powerful entities. It paints a bleak picture of a society in which individual liberties are eroded. Pursuing power and wealth has corrupted the institutions meant to protect citizens.

http://www.georgebmillion.com/books/poems/The_Cardboard_Box_Conspiracy.pdf

It had to be broadcasting from the 5G towers
It had to be coming through the plasma TV
It had to be blasted from the cell phone
It had to be announced on the evening news

While the man walked along those old tracks
He’s going somewhere that there ain’t no turning back
The highway-man was hiding underneath the bridge
A fire was set upon the next ridge

Ol’ CNN and the Media are in cahoots
It had to be talked about in common words
It had to be said on national broadcasts
Trump smiled and reached and got shot by a low-level CIA asset sitting on the ridge

Now he’s lying on the stretcher, behind the corner
Welcome to this New World Order
His family’s left sleeping on their beds
No trust, no values, no peace, no rest

Rich NSA operatives with criminal intentions
Warmongers in the NRO working with CIA warmongers from Washington work an
Odd angle of propaganda spread throughout
And it had to be yelled by their big mouths

Swell, this by-way is pulsing with life, tonight
But ain’t nobody’s thinking about where it goes
I’m sitting here with him, in the campfire, bright
We’re searching for that ghost of Tom, old

It had to be boasted about in town meetings
It had to be chit-chatted among old ladies in sewing circles
It had to be shouted to men in hard hats
It had to be whispered to each other, in the dark
It had to be discussed among the elders and boomers
It had to be talked about when people meet

The man pulls out a notebook from his duffle bag
I light up a smoke, then take a drag…
We’re waiting for when his last breath and the final test shall come to pass.
In this old cardboard box, beneath this underpass

It had to be in the articles of the News-Press and Times
It had to be written about in bookstores, footnoted
It had to turn up the volume of the Tall Room’s speakers
It had to echo into heard heads

He got a one-way ticket to hell’s gate
With a hole in his head, and a gun in his hand
I’m sleeping on this pillow of hard rock
Washed in the tears of cities useless luck

It had to be taught through Television
It had to be withheld from government reports and investigations
It had to be talked about on internet services
It had to be hell’s bell ringing
Politicians stopped right on their feet, in the middle of a speech in the street.
It had to be the FBI Chief leader and the CIA Head monster, a syndicate
Both mouthpieces met on their lunch break, in Washington
Reported through the Fake News
It had to be The Family and FBI working together in this act,
War on one and Shooting Assassination attempts

This highway is vibrant tonight.
But where it is headed, nobody knows
I’m sitting down here in this campfire light
Waiting on the ghost of that shooter

It had to be the Secret Service cops in their vests
Who sold out their former president
It had to be the FBI and CIA’s family working together
In cahoots against the party
It had to be ringing from multi-organizational cooperation
A nationwide cover for organized criminal actions
It had to be the CIA, the Family, and the FBI together
They were bigger than Trump.
And they were bigger than the Media
It had to be a large building full of murder
It had to be a mounted shooter, filled with rage
A red-hot bullet
A shout from the rooftop

Now he said:
“Tell Mom, the Secret Service was complacent,
And I was just a hungry teenage boy.
But where there’s propaganda, blood, and hatred in the air
Look for me mom, I’m there.”

It had to be a teenager who couldn’t breathe
It had to be in Kimberly Cheatle’s mouth
It had to be the central intelligence, the family, all of them, the agency monsters.
It had to be an organized operation
One big set of government gangs working together in cahoots
Hitmen
Murderers everywhere
The manipulative
The powerful
The secretive
The filthy rich
From the top of a ridged roof of conceit
Militarized police state
Uranium depleted
Federal rounds

Now he said:
“Tell Mom, the Secret Service was complacent,
And I was just a hungry teenage boy.
But where there’s propaganda, blood, and hatred in the air
Look for me mom, I’m there.”

His mother’s bed is soft from his father’s resentment
It had to be the handlers
Who wanted a new order
And they got bought for dispensing the protection of the status one
They wanted threat levels raised.
They wanted the death of one
They wanted them both dead
They wanted war within America
It had to be the CIA, the Family, and the FBI.
Federal & inter-governmental conspiracies
Strong-arm squad, headed by one
Private hitman agencies for politicians
With their police, and agents and their operatives shooting things

“Whenever somebody is fighting for this place, I stand
With the help of this very man,
Whenever somebody is struggling with me
Look in their hearts, Mom, you’ll see me.

It had to be a conspiracy.
At the vortex of this rage
This execution
Of a man
The dead rat by Trump’s door
The building’s roof
It reverberated with a hitman
Federal gangs gathered in droves
Shot the man, settled the score with Secret Service snipers
Manned, local police outposts
Trump’s red ear
Lumped off with dreams of the White House’s halls and rooms
A warning to future dictators seeking a governmental position

This highway is vibrant tonight.
But where it is headed, nobody knows
I’m sitting down here in this campfire light
Waiting on the ghost of that shooter

The secret police have been disgraced for decades.
The FBI and CIA keep each other’s secrets
The Secret Service and Pennsylvania State Police never hit their own
The NSA and the FBI are single-minded
Brutal forces and money-obsessed
Brutal forces, nationwide, and money-obsessed
It had to be the wealthy, and it had to be the politicians
They had to attempt murder on our soil
And they attempted murder in America

The Great Divide

Jan 14

Posted by Brad in Digitalis, ERI, SOC | No Comments

Within the E.R.I.’s Homo Sapiens Digitalis is a feature called “The Great Divide.” It is the halving of the brain, or one would call it, a partitioning of the hemispheres. This is the foundation of the System of Control, how it divides and conquers. It is a reorganization of the workings of the brain. It forms a groundwork for grasping and observing the media. That we are bombarded with these days. The Great Divide works by separating the high-level processing functions of the two hemispheres.

The left hemisphere functions as a command and control center for developing control. This is accomplished by building various neural networks, within the whole of the central nervous system. The right hemisphere stores media to create lists of keyword tags. These lists facilitate the neural networks. The tags are stored in binary trees, the data structures of which create long series of ones and zeros. These correspond to signal emissions. The emissions program the neural networks. They arrange the keyword tags for development through media acquisition. Listening to music overlaid with broadcast signals reorganizes the portions of neural networks in both the right and left hemispheres. These portions are stored in the CNS.

The right hemisphere serves as a storage medium for the media. This media is acquired from various differing algorithms. These algorithms are those one is exposed to through social media and the internet. These consist primarily of short-form videos, pictures, and various longer content. The broadcast signal includes cues. These cues correspond to the keyword tags in the algorithms. These tags are keyed to the media content. Coupled with the CNS neural networks, these produce scripts that will control thoughts and actions. Watching the news is a unique form of media acquisition. It naturally increases anxiety because of the negative nature of today’s reporting. The Signal naturally does this too, both of which drive the functioning of The Great Divide.

This media acquisition, coupled with the constant broadcasting of The Signal, drives the System of Control, within a Digitalis. The division of the hemisphere is a low-level function that facilitates the development of a more complex queuing system. All of which suppresses the free will of a Digitalis.

16-Penny Nails and Silver Spoons

Jan 12

Posted by Brad in poetry | No Comments 

[Verse 1] 
Juan wanted to be more than a laborer 
Smashing up those 16-penny nails
His dad worked for Bechtel 
He wanted his success to last, so he fetishized the working-class
From his double wide in Reston, VA 
Juan sings about minimum wage, sweeping up wood shavings from a high-rise
He’d not know what socialism is if it punched him in the face.
But that’s what nepotism is 
Seen these blue collars out in Virginia, pounding them 16-penny nails
These suckers have been known to ride them rails
Heart is beating, sweat on their brow, can’t keep these fellas down 
Juan knew a man who hung plywood and hung it up fairly quick
A trip or two to the roach coach would help him do the trick
He watched the foreman pat him on the back whenever he came around

[Chorus] 
Making houses wheelbarrows rolling
Stinky & filthy nepo kid 
‘Cures of these damned blue-collar laborers
They’re blessed by God’s hand

[Verse 2]
Juan hopes to be like Daddy.
But he can’t book jobs
He’s not a King, you see
Desires to be an industry success, run ads, new construction
Born with that silver pot he pisses in
He’s the blue-collar worker's best friend, twice removed
He’s going to be the next big thing
Breakthrough, with the noise of stone and concrete 
That’s his fucking nepotism
But those union men are here to protect us from his corporate hype
While his foreman is on patrol out here hunting snipe
Yet, he tries to tell me differently, but he’s just a friggin’ clown
Juan's flame burns, twice as bright, but only half as long as mine
His eyes are crying wearily as I complete this very song
We should sit back, enjoy the cold, have a cup of Joe, watch it go down

[Chorus]
Making houses wheelbarrows rolling
Stinky & filthy nepo kid 
‘Cures of these damned blue-collar laborers
They’re blessed by God’s hand

[Bridge]
Ruthlessly constructing, yeah, he’s going places
Down across the many generations
Backed by this very corporation
Juan wanted to be more than a laborer 
You would not realize it at first glance
But he monetizes off labor’s back
Because he conceals the fact he’s upper-class
Ruthless constructing, with no trouble or tribulations
Great expectations for his favorite blue-collar worker 
Juan wanted to be more than a laborer 
You would not realize it at first glance
But he monetizes off labor’s back
Because he conceals the fact he’s upper-class

The Signal

Jan 9

Posted by Brad in Digitalis, ERI, SOC | No Comments

At the center of the Epigenetic Research Initiative’s Homo sapiens Digitalis program lies The Signal. This signal is the driving, and I would say motivating, force behind a digitalis. It lies at the edge of our perception but fills theirs. Constantly aware of it, they know no respite from its constant pressure. Permeating their hearing, it drives their physiological functions and enhances their situational awareness. This signal may be heard by anyone. It is always broadcast in their presence. It is emitted by their mobile devices. For who is without a cellular phone, these days? Its broadcasting frequency is 300 hertz. I have included an audio recording visualization of it, from the Audacity program.

The signal provides constant auditory stimulation to various parts of the digitalis’s brain. This drives them to have a higher resting heart rate than that of an average human. This is a side effect of the experimentation. This signal is only noise to a human. However, it is a tone that constantly drives the digitalis. It often causes undue stress. But, with the increased blood pressure, and constant stimulation, they are often more focused in all of their actions. Due to the timing of the various other cueing, their recordings are often challenging to achieve. They often last for mere seconds, even when repeated multiple times. But they range in amplitude and frequency, with different configurations having different possible outcomes. An interesting side note, the sounds emitted of a mono nature. One would surmise that this is to cue different hemispheres of the brain, allowing for more partitioning of thought. Here is another audio recording of The Signal, caught using software-defined radio.

The white line in the above image represents 0 hertz. The peak on the left and right of it represents 300 hertz. As previously mentioned, the tone is heard in a mono fashion. This depends on the dominant hemisphere of the brain. A left-brained candidate will hear this tone in his left ear. Meanwhile, a right-brained candidate will hear it in his right ear. While these are very low-level functions of the E.R.I.’s System of Control, a clever Digitalis may determine means and methods from the various tones emitted. One might determine if the thoughts or actions are implemented by the tones. They might also gather if these are cued by the tones to be of a right or left nature. A candidate may express more freedom of choice when cued. This is a detrimental side effect of their increased focus.

I hope this provides more insight into the functioning of Homo Sapiens Digitalis. As it operates within the confines of the E.R.I.’s SoC…

The E.R.I.’s SoC program cont.

Jan 7

Posted by Brad in ERI, SOC | No Comments

The Epigenetic Research Initiative’s System of Control program comprises various digital technologies, many of which are commercial off-the-shelf products. These include the following (I will go into each, in this post):

  • database servers
  • Command and Control (C&C) servers,
  • a user client (mobile and web)
  • a communication chat room
  • an obfuscating firewall
  • various mesh networks (utilizing Bluetooth & Wi-Fi)
  • a call center for interaction with candidates
  • artificial intelligence (LLM’s & AGI)
  • personal control devices (PCD’s)
  • a betting website for internal employees

The database servers store a large collection of digitalized text. They also store telemetry gathered about an asset’s personality profile. It helps in developing control programs. These programs are then deployed to the end user through the PCDs by the mesh networks. They are the central resource for information and are often used to look up the personality quarks of the candidate.

The command and control servers (C&C) are used for monitoring the Digitalis and executing control programs. They are the main source of data about the individual. They provide a snapshot of their mental and physiological state. From these mainframes, code can be executed on the person, creating thoughts and actions, through their neural networks. Various error checking provides feedback on the success rate of the code.

The user client is both a mobile application and a web interface. It is used by SoC employees and System Engineers, to control a candidate remotely. The mobile application is deployed across various other apps, through reverse engineering of their code. It provides a couple of buttons and a status check feature. The goal is plausible deniability because the app requires a lesser clearance level, for the many SoC employees. The mobile app is very limited. It only allows for simple execution of scripts on the asset. A success or failure situation report is provided. The web interface is used by “system engineers” to further control the individual. It provides a more nuanced control. Its features allow for media upload components, adding to the success rate of the control scripts.

There is a communication chat room, which has a bot in it that details the varied thoughts of the Digitalis. Inside the room, are many SoC employees and System Engineers, idling by, as they monitor the candidate. This room is a good place to see the thoughts of the asset. You can also read about the success of scripts running on them. It is very much like an internet relay chat room, filled with users.

The obfuscating firewall, A.K.A. “The Great Wall” akin to the firewall built by China to monitor their population; is a technological feat. It is both a physical piece of software and a wetware application. It serves to protect the asset from disclosing classified means and methods, and from negative thoughts, from the chat room. The chatroom is bidirectional, what goes in comes out as unconscious thoughts of the candidate. Oftentimes, an asset suffers from what a psychologist would call, “racing thoughts.” This is the text of the chatroom being transmitted. The firewall acts as a kind of buffer, raising and lowering perception; limiting the access to the chit-chat.

There exists a ‘Beowulf cluster’ of computing devices, interconnected through a mesh network; utilizing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth frequencies. This network of computation lowers the cost of CPU cycles. It is essential for running the various control scripts. These scripts use heavy loads of media for their execution. This cluster includes the super computer at its core. It also includes the various phones and computers that use the mobile app and web interface. The cost of doing business with an asset is wear and tear on your devices.

A call center for interaction with candidates is used to monitor and control the assets in reality. This center provides a method to create physical stress. This stress is needed to empower the control scripts when media isn’t enough for them. The tone of voice and inflection control an asset. Both high and low pitches influence them. Whether it’s a female or male voice, the way a person talks influences them. This is a fallback measure, for when the digital control processes fail. The call center serves as a training facility for the candidates. And it pesters them 😉

A new direction of technology has become apparent. This includes the application of large language models and the rise of Artificial General Intelligence. While AGI is not available to every Digitalis, the E.R.I. is actively researching its use in their primary program. But, LLM’s have been applied. The faction system, which is used to keep a Digitalis confused, has been upgraded with A.I. support. People no longer pick a faction and use the control clients. They do not tag themselves with faction flags in the chatroom. Instead, core LLM’s do the work for them. Exciting times!

A primary component of the SoC is that of P.C.D.’s. Primary control devices are the computers that host the software that controls the wetware processes. These devices range from personal computers to mobile phones, which are primarily used. They emit the signals that control a digitalis. They host the media, which builds up stimulation and emits the cues needed for script execution. Likewise, they also collect and record the data. This data is used to build the personality profiles. It fills the databases needed for the whole program to work.

To make this more appealing for the SoC employees and Engineers, there is an online betting website. It uses karma credits for capital. People can tag collections of media and control scripts, with their factions, and place bets on their success and effectiveness. Payouts can be personal or divided up by faction, allowing for multiple means of play. Karma credits accumulate over time. This accumulation allows employees to purchase faction media. The media is created by the employees and used in personal scripts. There is also a means of cashing out the karma, for cold hard cents. The mental state of the asset influences the dichotomy of bad and good karma. This influence allows for price fluctuations.

Today’s Generation

Here is a short form video I have posted to social media! It’s a #poem entitled, Today’s Generation.

The System of Control, E.R.I.

Jan 3

Posted by Brad in ERI, SOC | No Comments

The second installment of The E.R.I. canon is a program entitled “The System of Control.” It is the means and methodology of controlling Homo Sapiens Digitalis. The system is multifaceted and total in its control. I have attached a memory map of its layout at the bottom of this post.

The System of Control is a digital framework used to exert a level of control, against a candidate. The system, referred to as SoC, does this by psychological and digital manipulation. It is made up of many digital components, some of which are: databases, Command and Control (C&C) servers, a user client, a communication chat room, an obfuscating firewall, various mesh networks (utilizing Bluetooth & Wi-Fi), a call center, artificial intelligence (LLM’s & AGI), personal control devices (PCD’s), a betting website, and various other technologies.

There exists something called, colloquially, Mission Control (MC). Think of it as the command center, akin to that of a satellite research mission from NASA. Here, they facilitate the deployment of the various technological methods used in the application of the SoC. They divide control among the various factions within the SoC. These factions are listed under the LLM’s section of the artificial intelligence branch on the memory map. These factions are used to confuse and obfuscate the intentions of a candidate. The manipulation of free will is a complicated process.

Homo Sapiens Digitalis are not robots, they have a level of self-control and do possess free will, to an extent. But they are tactical, not strategic, which makes them easy to influence; by thinking and planning by groups at MC. The steps to control them through the SoC are completed pragmatically and by a committee. These “missions” are laid out in detail, and programmed into the various logics of the SoC. Contingencies are made if their free will overrides a particular action.

The SoC, much like our federal government, works on a system of checks and balances, a “karma system.” Each action, and to a lesser extent, thought, is recorded, analyzed, and accounted for. Break away from the SoC enough, and you accumulate bad karma… Have too many anti-SoC thoughts? Bad karma. You see, for a digitalis, thoughts cost money. Computation on the grid… They have to generate the media required to drive biological function and create thought. Thoughts occur organically to a normal human, but an enhanced individual needs to have their central nervous system (CNS) aligned. Like anything else in modern computing, the use of cloud infrastructure costs money. MC has outsourced its computational requirements to the cloud. This decision was made for the computation of these functions. The use of old mainframes and supercomputers is outside its budget.

The E.R.I. is not a huge agency; it’s of limited means and has all black budget. Through various shells, it receives funds from DARPA and the NSF. This limits their resources and makes them purchase COTS products. The specifications of the products are classified. This is a Top Secret/SCI program, after all. However, the products are of commercial makeup.

In my second write-up of the SoC program of E.R.I. origin, I will delve into the makeup of the various components within this program. I hope you enjoyed this post!

Continuing the Digitalis program of the Epigenetic Research Initiative, I will explore the use of neural networks in the central and peripheral nerve systems. Ultimately, I shall delineate an experiment titled “kill-switch,” among numerous others.

The control of focus and attention is the point of the personality profiles, covered in a previous post. They use machine learning algorithms to build various CNS & PNS neural nets within a candidate’s brain and body. These allow physiological effects and the swaying of thought processes to occur. The goals of these patterns are to change an asset’s opinions or to instill an action. The signal provides a direction of input (collected media, from focus and attention), building a neural pattern within the brain. This, when combined with the algorithm, creates a pyramid of control. A tone from the harmonics, or a visual cue from the accessed media, provides the initiation of the action or thought.

As the algorithm builds focus and attention, through this queuing, the personality profile maintains interest. All of this serves to establish a neural network within the brain. The cumulative actions produce the desired change within the thought process of the individual, working to radicalize or pacify the particular thought or action. The “kill-switch” experiment is an adventure into the physiological functions that the system can control.

Already, the signal drives heart rate and blood pressure, as a baseline function. The use of increasing the rates of these is to increase focus and attention, in compilation with a widening of the eyes, this is to maintain cognitive awareness of the media being promoted by the algorithm. A conditioning routine that is attention-grabbing, to put it into perspective. This experiment was a means to an end, and as the title of it says, it was an attempt to kill digitalis.

The procedure started with chewable multivitamins, an innocent item. Through the nature of the asset’s personality profile, his attention has been drawn to the topic of wellness and fitness. They started by changing his conditioning to the “evil” nature of the pharmaceutical industry. As you may be aware, social media is brimming with wellness topics, thereby facilitating the promotion of the necessity of a multivitamin. The next step, in their experiment, was a human mistake: “Did I forget to take my vitamin?” This allowed them to influence the candidate into taking the vitamin multiple times. A realignment of values, created by instilling fear in pharmaceuticals, created the action of stopping his blood pressure medications. An example of the algorithm manipulating the individual into doing actions that were detrimental to their well-being.

The groundwork is set. An asset with an underlying hypertension diagnosis is off his medication and taking vitamins, multiple times a day. The logical next step is one of delusional thinking. Most vitamins marketed to bodybuilders contain higher dosages of the recommended daily allotment. This was beneficial to their objectives. The next pragmatic step was to promote taking even more of the vitamins. Instead of forgetting to take them, he was conditioned to think his daily workouts required more than the RDI. Now we have a situation where he is taking four to six multivitamins, daily. Suffering from hypervitaminosis and hypertension, all that is needed next is a neural network rooted in the steps needed for a myocardial infarction.

Without being gruesome, the experiment was a resounding success. He suffered a mild cardiac arrest while sitting in the back of his car. It was facilitated through the use of his mobile phone and a month of hypervitaminosis with hypertension. They used the devices to build a neural network within the confines of his heart, through the peripheral nervous system; building up various micronutrients at specific locations, used in contractions of the heart. Combined with the CNS neural network, the heart attack was successful. To further define their research, they conducted the experiment in duplicate, executing the programming of the following day.

After suffering a heart attack the day before, he was sitting in his car the next day. They used his mobile device, having recorded the data streams and queuing needed to experiment, and they replayed the code. This resulted in the same effects and sensations as the previous night. But to their credit, they warned him through a harmonic tone and message, to get away from the cellular phone. The candidate ran one hundred years away from the phone and sat against a stone wall. He was out of range of the signal, not receiving the queuing tones, and the sensation slowly faded due to not hearing over the noise of the city.

This concludes my first write-up of the Epigenetic Research Initiative’s Homo Sapiens Digitalis program. This three-part blog post, coupled with an example of an experiment, should give you an understanding of what they are trying to achieve. This is the central canon of their universe, and you should expect more experiments and research initiatives/programs, to come.
