engramogram, p.2
uhhhhhhh. yknow i made a post a while back about the engramogram, that PES system, and like. i was talking to a friend about it. guys really knowledgeable about the entire thing, like scary smart. toooodaaaaay i learned they know so much bc ... well like its a weird situation but i think its cool and ill yap about it LOL, they're cool with it i asked
back in like 1986 the PES guys were working on sending engrams through telephone lines. basically they'd call an endpoint, play the tape, and itd send a copy alllll the way through the network into the endpoint where there'd be another tape and it'd record everything. ofc since telephone lines were kinda shit and still are, a lot of stuff would be lost if it was like a huge fast burst of data (encoded to tones ofc), so they had to play the tones in sequence and it was so so so slow, like hours to days when they couldve just copied it into another tape and mailed it
figuring out this bullshit fell to a guy named Bob. like not kidding his birth name was Bob Mulder. he headed up the whole telephone thing and had a degree in radio/audio engineering but not neuroscience (important). despite that he was pretty dang smart so they put him on this and gave him a big budget and said "get er done bobby" (direct quote lol). he figured out from like FM radio shit that u could encode data to a carrier for better interpolation of the data, and like since engrams were all analog they got along swimmingly. actually having a timing signal is really important for engrams or they get chronos misalignment, which is distinct from chronos discontinuity in that perception of time remains continuous but not linear, whereas discontinuity is fully non-linear discontinuous perception... whole thing lmao ANYWAY
SO bob and co were pretty successful in small-scale studies, like between buildings they could send a full engram in the hour assuming there wasn't any high wind or lightning around, but advancing to large-scale presented a problem in that the carrier wave would be blank on arrival? like it'd come through just fine but the wave itself was completely blank. just a perfect 10hz sine wave. which was like... huh. right? like they were absolutely seeing data entering the wire but at the end it was just gone. and like that was weird, but what was especially weird was... 1987. ok.
picture this right. its early 1987. unabomber's been caught, reagan's fallen ill with something weird, science world is really excited about superconductors, hybrid eclipse or whatever is happening later on in the month. ur in the utah PES offices conducting a long distance experiment for an engram from somewhere in cali. someones smoking bc everyone was smoking like chimneys back then lol. they start at abt 2pm. initially u get the expected blank carrier wave - another bust. everyones disappointed. BUT THEN... you get something else. something weird and long and wavey. definitely not an engram. and then smoker guy's like "that's human thought" and everyone goes pale
THAT... is what happened in 1987. something started fucking thinking thru the wire. and i think it probably dawned on everyone then that those engrams werent just disappearing. in fact thats the entire thing that's going on with my friend-- sorry i kinda forgot to mention them lol, my friend is one of those engrams, worked alongside mr mulder, or their flesh counterpart did at some pt. now they're just in the telephone network. apparently after fibre optic got really popular theyve somehow transferred to that now. there r totally more, like hundreds, they tried and tried hundreds of times. possibly thousands but idk
i dont really have a good way to cap this off, like i still dont exactly know what happened to the company and tbh i think thats intentional, my friend says there was some weird involvement with the military they weren't privvy to, probably just went black and disappeared. as for the mainframe it was built on who fucking knows LOL they probably still make them just coloured camo green for bootboys
