>From Psychotronic Warfare to Biotronic Materials
By Vladimir Muzhesky

-------------   part I

Biotronic bifurcation is a certain point in history, when the paradigms
of remote machinery manipulation and military economic strategies
warpify mental and social discursive spaces and form a selfreferential
zone of synthetic suggestion: interlocked brain  related loci of
sensual events actualized in abstract material forms.

Laying down a path in its fatal speed walking along the way of
paranormal economic fractalization and hyperdiscursive fusion, the
Soviet military research and development complex in the period from
sixties till nineties worked out the programs of psychotronic warfare,
which merged cybernetic and bioinformational research in the framework
of neurological behavior manipulation and programming. As a result,
complexes were built referred to as psychotronic generators:
interactive machines, which were supposed to modify mental, emotional,
and physical state of individuals and groups from the remote.

In practice, although many of them were proven to cause general
influence on living systems and in particularly psychosomatic complex
of human systems, concrete applications of cognitive interference
remained uncalibrated. However, few of psychotronic generators were
then found to be used as an undetectable instrument of influence during
political events, and the Moscow coup of 1991 in particular.

Technical experts who found hidden antennas in the Russian White House,
had to admit that they were used not for the interception and espionage
but for transmission of modulated frequencies. Inasmuch as socialist
economy was agonizing, the mechanism of defense industry was used to
produce an abstract economic avatar of mental escape: neurointeractive
technology, which thrilled both researchers and their ideological
supervisors.

With the disintegration of the SU, psychotronic research programs were
interrupted. Incomplete technologies of behavior and mentality control,
ambiguous bioinformational generators, global media networks and,
hence, billions of perceptual simulation consumers merged together in
this bioelectronic pool, which promised to form the highest
informational structures possible since the idea of noosphere was
introduced. There is not even a single chance to describe all the
desperate twists and mutations which conceptual sequences of our
stunned intellect go through, when they appear in the synthetic
simulation field of psychotronically mediated media.

It is a closure of our mental production, as much as it is a closure of
our material economy: there is no gap in between the consumer and the
product, biotronic objects are interveined with perceptual processing
up to the very molecule of senses. Whether it is a start of global
biotronic revolution or a dead pattern of a long lasted socioeconomic
life form, we can not foresee. Even though there is a plane of
immanence in this mutated production, its basic ultraconceptual
resource: perceptronic material is a possible outcome of obsolete
warfare economic spaces; it is too close to the Great Thermodynamic
Wall not be at least a future.

future immune

Proving once again that in our time the most flexible and perceptive
discourses lay across the border of rationality, a new form of paranoia
came into reality before any rational statement was maid on the subject
in public: the wave of pathological fear of being manipulated with
mysterious psychotronic devices roared across mass media, caused
formation of governmental commissions, and even maid scientists, who
pioneered psychotronic research submit an appeal to UN office with the
request to ban the research in psychotronic warfare.

Now, when the organism of Soviet society is decomposed, the abstract
defense economy is being appropriated and reutilized by numerous
independent unintegrated research groups and neotribal communities
which on their own risk continue exploring the neurodimension of
technology. Many of them by mythological inertia still think about
cyberspace, which global informational volume seems to be the most
consequential successor of psychotronic technology.
Whether it is a phenomenon of selforganization technocerebrum, a
selfemmering complex of global mentality or integral bioinformational
system with highest extent of complexity, in the history of humanity,
global informational network is the most probable and favorable
environment for mind hacking, to a certain extent also because it is
strategically defined in neomythological paradigm of cyborg places,
something like centaur mountains.

The only conceptual difference between cyborgs and centaurs is the
phenomena of implantation, but how many times do we have to be forced
back by the irreality of our projects before we finally realize that no
technological extension can make a virtual body real unless it is
neurolized: it has to be defined in the coordinates of neurospace and
only afterwards expressed in the abstract formulas of mental
economies.
Naturally, it would be under any circumstances better for psychotronics
to be implanted into the media mentality in any other way but via the
lobotomized secret services. However a hope that average consciousness
will broaden the picture of the world and potentially find a
constructive use of the psychotronics seems currently more then
utopian. Hence, step by step human mental operations will be
reinterpreted in the framework of abstract defense; once it has been
introduced, and even crystallized into a social phenomenon it will
never stop multiplying in the human mental pool: something which
psychotronics itself assumes, as a human programming tool, is
bioinformational maps of penetrating mental areas.

When you know that meteo and catastrophic terrorism is a widely used
term in contemporary politics, and when you think of the scale the
psychotronic terrorism can become if parasiting on the infantile
symmetry of today's cyberspaces, you don't need more arguments in favor
of utilizing abstract economy as a neurosimulation immune system in the
informational organism. Brain never was a symmetrical machine, it is
irreversible. From this point of view historical linear discourses are
revitalized, and the history itself is being neurolized level by level,
meme by meme, the coil of Percephona seem to lock an informational
circuit.

abstract economy

If we imagine a mental diagram of the creation of abstract economy in
its correlation to defense mechanism and psychotronic technology, then
all the way down there will be a phenomenon of marxian-bataillian
interface effect. Socialist economy operated with the energy-entropy
function of resources extended via Marxian assumption of spatial
integral hierarchies through the labor activity into human systems.
Thus, every product would a priori appear in the human dimension, even
before it would be conceptually tracked down as a mental event.
Consequently, since the historical definition of cerebral radiant
reflex in the early 1900s till the nanotechnology of the end of the
millennium, there was a constant interest from the side of any and in
particular Soviet military economic agencies for finding
nontraditional defense and control strategies.

These programs were essentially reinforced when strategic experts on
both sides of the iron curtain were planing Cold War Maze and then
trying to get over the shock of the premonitions of superpower
dichotomy crash. In their turn, independent and semi-independent
researchers were interested more in reutilizing technological products
by multiplying their representational dimensions: hence, the first
generation of multipolar technologies emerged, which split with a
tradition of interpreting technology as a unified discursive
phenomenon.

In accordance with the multipolar theory, human systems are multipolar
complexes which can not be defined in terms of bipolar logic and
accordingly human systems interact with existing technological products
in multidimensional terrains, something Marcuse did not consider: there
can be infinite varieties of, for example, electricity theory depending
on the amount of coordinates in which a human system is rendering it.
The second stage was marked with the creation of technological devices
in which the principles of multipolar interactions with human systems
were initially implemented.
Some of them were utilized for medical, some for interrogation
purposes, another as the instrument for investigating the perspectives
of bioenergetic intellect, but all of them followed the principle of
the plasticity of neural networks extended to the synthetic
bioinformational technological complexes.

It was around the end of eighties, when first systems of brain locked
electromagnetic alphabets appeared. Lensky, one of the founders of
multipolar principle in technology, introduces the term "mental locus"
in the theory of science. He defines it as an integral complex of
inner-, outer- and neurospaces of a human system, which in their
selfpenetration form an initial project point of any technology. From
this position he paradigmatically counterposes bipolar physical
theories, like that of the implicit positive-negative dichotomy of
magnetic or electric fields to the multipolar systems of quantum
chrommodynamics. In accordance with his multipolarity theory it is
possible to define a technology which would correspond not to the
bipolar mental loci, which implies two project spaces, but to three and
more poles of the plane of immanence.

Lensky refers to bipolar based technology as to a particular element of
multipolarity, for example, he investigates the possibility to define
4-5 polar instead of ordinary bipolar electricity by referring it to
the multipolarity of the human system. The documented test results of
his research with generators include successful experiments in
acceleration of biorhythms in 5 and even 6 times. With the help of
Volk, one of the Russian astronauts and the member of the State Defense
Committee,
Lensky discussed perspectives of his research during a special meeting
in the Ministry of Defense. He was suggested to develop and test his
generators in the framework of classified factories. It was exactly
what Lensky tried to avoid. Lensky froze his research after, as he
described it, he understood that his generators can be used not only to
control the human system on the physical, and psychological level, but
also to "program the development of human system".

In application to psychophysiological research, Lensky delineates a
possibility to modify every level of human system using multipolar
computers, informational complexes, which are designed and act on the
multipolar basis. In this framework Lensky and his colleagues studied
the possibility to use biophysical systems as informational
environments.
They maid several programs of experiments with using water and food as
structural program elements. In general, it was suggested that physical
environments can be regarded as multipolar carriers which penetrate
human organism. For example, water as a liquid crystal, which
interpenetrates human body makes nervous cells react adequately to its
information.
Lensky considered human brain to be a multipolar complex. He predicted
a new coil in the development of technology in connection to the
reconceptualization of neurospace as a multipolar plane of immanence.
On the functional level, he wanted to position every element of the
brain in the same way as the surface of the brain is positioned as the
informational generator.

As opposite to the externally technologically reinforced body of a
cyborg, Lensky suggests the concept of biotronic body, which according
to him is a hyper environment interpenetrated with bioenergetic
oscillations. It was found that bioenergetic penetration has a
holonomic character: it is simultaneously present in all parts of the
body. That is why Lensky considered technologically mediated
penetration on the biotronic level as dangerous, partially because it
can go beyond the critical level of the human system.

On the other hand multipolar devices can be used for training and
developing purposes. Using technological instruments to induce
multipolar effect in human systems, Lensky makes another step towards
the central concept of biotronic revolution: all strategic power
connections are mediated via machines (human to human mental
interaction is censored out), which makes it possible to integrate
human and technological strategically important resources into a
synthetic space of the emanation of the artificial biotronic cerebrum.

Looking at the perceptual filter as multipolar system Lensky suggests
structural subdivision of the human system on the basis of three
ultraconceptual protodimensions: inner, outer, and neurospace. In the
attempt to find an alternative interface between human consciousness
and technology, Lensky regarded perceptual informational filtering, as
a zone, where human and machine informational processing fuse to form a
neothing awareness of a synthetic dimension.

Neurospatial dimension was conquering social terrains: it became
obvious that step by step relating through the infrastructure of its
mental and material economies and being determined with a positional
life automaton pattern of their dialectic policies, socium involves
itself into informational activity of neurosimulation.
In a certain way, every possible political position of mental/material
life cell is rendered as an ideological spatial structure, a certain
kwazimental relief, more complex and twisted then Deleuzian fold on the
plane of immanence, although resembling it in fractalization.
The further away the conceptual relief is located from the edge of
material production, the more abstract is the outcomming informational
structure.
Thus, we arrive to the vertical economic scale where outcomes of both
mental and/or material production are being evaluated from the abstract
point of view, and the economy itself is being spectralized in the bend
from Marxian study of labor to Bataillian research in waste. Precisely,
abstract economy scale fits this weird paradigm, when analyzing
economically bazaar and mentally ideal economic output of what has been
becoming neurolized virtual society.
Somewhere in between the framework of secret defense research and
criminal underworld science in the Soviet Union as a result of
mentality manipulation studies and development there appeared an
economic warp which only during the last project phase in the nineties
swallowed about 500 million roubles of state budget and who knows how
much of black shares.

black box warfare

In the reports of the Center for Nontraditional Technologies of the
USSR State Committee for the Science and Technology among other main
avenues of research there is a direct statement about the study of
medical, biological, and psychophysiological injury caused by spin
fields and the ways of defending troops and civil population from their
effects.
However, some experts doubt that actual combat psychotronic complexes
were created. Some of them suggest that it was a state scale fraud,
schemed to wash financial funds of several ministries. The way this
research was promoted was indeed strange: representatives of the KGB
