nettime: Muzhesky-Biotronics/part I |
From: vladimir muzhesky <106352.243@compuserve.com> >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
