「Transmission Six: On the Nature of "Voices in the Head"」

From the cycle Non-Classical Models of Communication
Bulletin: 6-Ω / Lightning
During observation of symbolic exchange processes, it was determined that the phenomenon of communication does not correspond to the model of information transfer. An alternative mechanism has been recorded, described as the synchronization of cognitive configurations.
【 On the Nature of the Signal 】
The signal contains no transferable content.
Physical carriers (sound, text, image) function as trigger structures, initiating local reorganizations of perception. The changes remain confined to the receiving system.
No transmission of information, in the strict sense, has been detected.
【 On Simulative Reconstruction 】
The process of interpretation constitutes a reconstruction of the presumed state of the source.
Reconstruction is performed using elements already present within the receiving system.
Coincidence of reconstructions across independent systems is interpreted as successful communication, despite the absence of any actual exchange.
This process has previously been described as intuition, divination, or understanding.
【 On So-Called Telepathy 】
Telepathy is not isolated as a distinct class of phenomena.
Internal dialogue and the perception of an external signal employ identical mechanisms of image and association activation.
The distinction between “internal” and “external” sources is recognized as functionally insignificant.
【 On Incantations and Formulaic Texts 】
An incantation is defined as a text optimized for the formation of a stable cognitive state.
The informational density of such texts is low, while their structural redundancy is high.
Repetition, rhythm, symbolic indeterminacy, and imagery are employed to align interpretive trajectories across independent systems.
The resulting effect is comparable to that of a directed field.
【 On the Metamorphoses of Urban Geometry 】
Magical circles, diagrams, and squares are classified as external cognitive interfaces.
Their use requires stepwise decomposition, memorization, and subsequent superimposition of elements.
At the moment of convergence, a transition from analytical mode to an integrated perceptual state is recorded.
【 On Language as a Process 】
Speech does not transmit meaning.
Each word generates a localized sensation.
Subsequent words modify the preceding ones.
The final state is mistakenly interpreted as the acquisition of meaning, whereas in fact a process of assembly has occurred.
【 On Unknown Concepts 】
The transmission of fundamentally new elements is impossible.
The unknown arises exclusively as a combination of previously known structures.
What is transmitted is the order of activation, not the content.
【 On the Unity of Mechanisms 】
Language, magic, and technology operate according to a shared principle of formulaic effect invocation.
A machine constitutes an incantation realized in a physical medium.
An incantation constitutes a machine operating within the medium of perception.
The distinction is recognized as nominal.
【 The Solar Circle 】
The solar circle is recorded as a rupture.
Not a source of light,
but an absence
through which observation becomes possible.
Transmission complete.
Reconfiguration continues.
