PakNet, a more informationally dense World Wide Web

I'm working on PakNet, which may be of interest to some Infornography readers. This remains a side-note however. It's an attempt at a Xanalogical Web.

Some notes and discussions on how it is to be created may be found here.

Here's our experimental UI mockup:



Let me know what you think, ok?

Hrm... Microwave Auditory Induction, eh? *Gets ideas*

Wouldn't that be a great way to improve sublim efficency? Get two subliminal audio streams at once, or a single 3-channel tri-aural audio clip? Additionally, it can be used for the Brainwave Synchronous Entrainment method, as the data piped in is representative of the entrainment itself.
Also, I wouldn't mind putting in a 3rd audio track for a Standard Input concert. Or have a neural intercom system for my house or dorm ^^;.
Additionally, that brings me to an idea I had for the end of the book. I could propose a system by which a large group, perhaps even the whole world, could be networked subconciously. Sorta like Protocol 7 in Lain. The question is, would anyone actually DO it?

Mental Entrainment (the Microwave Auditory Effect)

I have been testing out what's called Mental Entrainment, also known as the Microwave Auditory Effect, and its use in conjunction with sublims and other features of the acceleration treatment.
Mental Entrainment (which seems to be a newly coined word, and a bit of a misnomer since BrainWave Synchronization via Entrainment is a method for audio entrainment, and Mental Entrainment seems to have little to do with the definition of etrainment, which is the converging and averaging of two out-of-sync things into a single synchronous thing) is a method of mind control apparently invented in the USSR, where it is said to have been tested on prisoners of war. It involves broadcasting radio signals into the brain. I linked to The Microwave Auditory Effect because that was the closest I could come on WikiPedia. The Microwave Auditory Effect is the ability of people to "hear" radio broadcasts without devices.
I ended up creating a M.E. transmitter to test it out for myself. I took a hat with a mesh back and wove some 22gauge solid wire into the mesh, covering the entire back of the head with irregular loops, then covered the whole thing with tinfoil and a stretchy wool cap. I then took the long end of the wire and wrapped the end around the antenna of a CB radio. I kept the CB radio's talk button pushed while I sublimmed, with the radio's mic near the speakers, which were turned up high.
I have to say, although it made me rather disabled for a while (I had tingling, disorientation, and confusion), it definitely increased and sped up the acceleration: I was twice as accelerated, and in half the time.
Tomorrow, Nicole and I will test out the M.E. setup in synchro. I can't wait to see what effects it will have when coupled with the normal acceleration/syncrosublim procedure.

I am also testing out Pasv's suggestion of speeding up the a/v. It seems to help out with acceleration, and also with the propogation of the media. I keep on singing songs in my head that are sped up 1.5-2.5 times their normal speed, and they're way catchier than normal, which I attribute to the subliminal nature of some of the data.


Both these things will be put into the book once we have experimented enough with them to know with reasonable certainty that they're safe.

This is my first post to the Infornography blog, a news and sidenote system for the wikibook Infornography: The Tao of Memetic Engineering. This book is about methods of training that will make the user smarter, more intuitive, more aware, more skilled in cognative pursuits, and more able to multitask parallel thoughts and handle large amounts of data, in order to have the skills to make world-changing memes in this generation, and not only survive but thrive in the technologies and society of the next.

Thus far, we have posted a partial introductory/background chapter, a somewhat complete (as in, done enough to be useable) chapter on sublim-based acceleration treatments, and a stub chapter on syncrosublimming. Nicole has posted her impressions after 2 multihour treatments, during which she reached an accelerated level and gained the ability to turn on and off the accelerated mode. Pasv is testing out sublims on his own rig, with a custom perl script catting the Phrack archives, and has reached acceleration but cannot trigger. He will post his thoughts later on in the treatment.

I would like to show you all my own personal sublim rig. These pictures are of the rig that Nicole, Jon, and Doug all tried in my home.







And finally, a lighter one:




We are all somewhat unsure of what the future will hold for this book and this treatment, but let us hope that it will be something beyond imagining.
