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.

In a previous blog post, I mentioned the E.R.I. and a research program for Homo Sapiens Digitalis. I will now go into the data requirements need for the program to function, and how their machine learning, control algorithms, and to a lesser extent their use of artificial general intelligence.

The program starts with reports, from an early age, on the behavior of the candidates. A psychologist is assigned to evaluate them on a routine basis, providing reports on their mental state and their development. These are collected into a database, that is later expanded upon; through digital means. From an early age, they are plied with various pharmaceutical compounds; that enhance their cognition. The goal is to improve memory recall, reflexes, focus, and attention span as much as possible; before introducing them into the ‘system of control.’

This lays the ground work for the signal processing software, needed to promote them to the digitalis form. Upon introduction into the program, they are further monitored. They use of personal computers, mobile devices, and electronics are recorded and monitored. Live streams of this data is collected and submitted to various databases, used in the program. All of this is a form of telemetry, which is the bread and butter of the research.

With out the collection of live telemetry, the digital process would fall short. All the information is now stored in the cloud, but it requires a large computational cost. A super computer cluster monitors the live telemetry; providing real-time updates; used in signal production. But as a means of cutting cost, a Beowulf cluster and mesh network of collected devices, provide computation power at a local level.

Through the use of microphones, and WiFi & Bluetooth position/tracking, they compute the candidates location with their living arrangements. This coupled with video surveillance, from front & rear facing mobile phone cameras and web cams, they get a good idea of the assets movements. This is all fed into the algorithm, used to control them. A digitalis is a creature of habit and repetition, in thought and actions.

With the advent of wearable technologies, A.K.A. smart watches, they may further collect data and telemetry. This information is vital and indispensable. They use heart rate and blood pressure monitor to detect if a candidate is being truthful, and to facilitate digital communication, directly with the asset. They are always preforming status checks, an automated function of the system.

These determine emotional state and stress levels of the candidate. There exists large screens in this governmental agency, that provide live feeds of the status of each digitalis. From hormone levels, mental states, location, biological functions, and maybe even current thought processes. It is all collected and digitized into a computer monitor.

I hope this post sheds a little light on the background requirements of a digitalis, within the research program’s specifications… There will be further posts detailing some of the control mechanisms and psychological tactics used within the program.

Stay tuned!

I will start sharing the canon of my fictional works on this blog. It begins with the Epigenetic Research Initiative, a secretive U.S. federal government research agency, akin to DARPA. They seek to enhance humans into what they call Homo sapiens digitalis, a biotechnological improvement of the modern human. Through the use of “harmonics” and microwave frequencies, they manipulate the thoughts and actions, of these individuals. They control the algorithms and media that they consume, formulating their thinking and thus their actions. But there are benefits, features, and gifts. Special abilities that set them apart from their human brethren. These features make them physiologically different from the average human, increasing their cognition and reflexes; they perform better. It starts with genetic testing at birth, followed by psychological examination; culminating in the application of various education, and pharmaceutical interventions.

The changes are not instantaneous but are learned behaviors. By being exposed to this system of control, that is the Top Secret/SCI program, they become something else. At the root of this system is a digital process, a tone being emitted constantly in the individual’s presence. It drives their biological and to an extent their, psychological function. The tone can be perceived by natural human perception, but it has certain impacts on digitalis. One might even mistake it for tinnitus if only it was not generated and able to be switched off.

The signal’s emission originates with various electronic devices, of which examples include smart televisions and mobile phones. Through the use of dropper programs, the software is loaded into memory; never stored locally. This permits a level of plausible deniability, which is one of the major tenets of the research initiative. This tone drives their metabolic system and their heart rate. The more amplitude, the higher the heart rate… increasing focus and reaction time. Through the selection of short-form media, by the subtle manipulation of algorithms, and various tones emitted; they are swayed into thinking in a directed manner.

I will continue this in another post, delving into the personal data sets necessary for the function of a digitalis. But to wet your appetite, I have attached a memory map displaying the links to various technologies and functions.
