We live lives that are waveforms constantly changing with time, now positive, now negative. Only at moments of great serenity is it possible to find the pure, the informationless state of signal zero.
Thomas Pynchon (Gravity's Rainbow)
You know,' he said, sitting back, reflectively, 'it's at times like this that you kind of wonder if it's worth worrying about the fabric of space-time and the causal integrity of the multidimensional probability matrix and the potential collapse of all waveforms in the Whole Sort of General Mish Mash and all that sort of stuff that's been bugging me.
Douglas Adams (Mostly Harmless (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #5))
I incline to the quantum mechanical view in this matter. My theory is that your cat is not lost, but that his waveform has temporarily collapsed and must be restored. Schrödinger. Planck. And so on." -- Dirk Gently
Douglas Adams
MUSIC OF THE UNIVERSE Without the orchestra of the universe, There would be no ether. And without its instrumentation By the ether, There would be no waves. And without any waves, There would be no sound. And without sound, There would be no music. And without music, There would be no life. And without a life force, There would be no matter. But it does not matter - Because what is matter, If there is no light?
Suzy Kassem (Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem)

Douglas Adams (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Dirk Gently, #1))
Every animal's perception of the world, constructed by its evolved sensory apparatus and nervous system to take best advantage of its environment, is subjective - there are no colors out there, as we perceive them, waiting for us. There is no sound - only waveforms. And perhaps the strangest fact of all: Outside our bodies, there is no pain. Pain is something we create.
Ray Nayler (The Mountain in the Sea)
his dad “putting them on a table with me so I got to play with them.” He watched with fascination as his father tried to get a waveform line on
Walter Isaacson (Steve Jobs)
Samadhi without a seed takes the concentration to an even more extreme level. In this state, awareness flows so completely onto the object of concentration that there is no time to fixate that object as something rigid, opaque, and extended in time and space. In other words, the object of concentration ceases to be an object, ceases to be a something. To draw a metaphor from modern physics, the object ceases to be a particle and becomes a wave. That waveform fills our consciousness, and we become that waveform, and we are that wave. As we merge with the wave, it links to all the other waves in the universe. Then the wave dies away into deeply fulfilling nothingness. Observer and observed both disappear. This is samadhi without a seed: a direct abiding at the Still Point of the turning world.
Shinzen Young (The Science of Enlightenment: How Meditation Works)
There had been an uprising by the Bondelswaartz in 1922, and general turmoil in the country. His radio experiments interrupted, he sought refuge, along with a few score other whites, in the villa of a local landowner named Foppl. The place was a stronghold, cut off on all sides by deep ravines. After a few months of siege and debauchery, “haunted by a profound disgust for everything European,” Mondaugen went out alone into the bush, ended up living with the Ovatjimba, the aardvark people, who are the poorest of the Hereros. They accepted him with no questions. He thought of himself, there and here, as a radio transmitter of some kind, and believed that whatever he was broadcasting at the time was at least no threat to them. In his electro-mysticism, the triode was as basic as the cross in Christianity. Think of the ego, the self that suffers a personal history bound to time, as the grid. The deeper and true Self is the flow between cathode and plate. The constant, pure flow. Signals - sense data, feeling, memories relocating - are put onto the grid, and modulate the flow. We live lives that are waveforms constantly changing with time, now positive, now negative. Only at moments of great serenity is it possible to find the pure, the informationless state of signal zero. “In the name of the cathode, the anode, and the holy grid.
Thomas Pynchon (Gravity’s Rainbow)
There is a “real” world, out there, but we do not perceive it directly. It is assembled by the sensory and nervous systems of each individual animal, and it is assembled differently by every one of them. What we perceive is a construct. Every animal’s perception of the world, constructed by its evolved sensory apparatus and nervous system to take best advantage of its environment, is subjective—there are no colors out there, as we perceive them, waiting for us. There is no sound—only waveforms.
Ray Nayler (The Mountain in the Sea)
Diallo, a West African immigrant in New York, matched a description of a rapist. Four white officers questioned him, and when the unarmed Diallo started to pull out his wallet, they decided it was a gun and fired forty-one shots. The underlying neurobiology concerns “event-related potentials” (ERPs), which are stimulus-induced changes in electrical activity of the brain (as assessed by EEG—electroencephalography). Threatening faces produce a distinctive change (called the P200 component) in the ERP waveform in under two hundred milliseconds. Among white subjects, viewing someone black evokes a stronger P200 waveform than viewing someone white, regardless of whether the person is armed. Then, a few milliseconds later, a second, inhibitory waveform (the N200 component) appears, originating from the frontal cortex—“Let’s think a sec about what we’re seeing before we shoot.” Viewing a black individual evokes less of an N200 waveform than does seeing someone white. The greater the P200/N200 ratio (i.e., the greater the ratio of I’m-feeling-threatened to Hold-on-a-sec), the greater the likelihood of shooting an unarmed black individual.
Robert M. Sapolsky (Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst)
turning a knob here, a valve there, taking off a filter and cleaning it, matching waveforms on an oscilloscope, checking materials-input flow … Flow! That was it! Their concern was the flow of energy through the human experience. The idea of a machine wiped away completely and there was the physical earth with the human energy rings encircling it, dreamlike in its quality … (Your last percept indicates good progress.) But if they created the process in the first place, they should have been aware that it would need … maintenance, modification. (We did not create time-space as you know it, nor the physical earth, nor the human process, nor the energy flow itself. That is not our department, as you put it. Our concern is the output and the … quality of such. To this end, we adjust the internal flow as needed.)
Robert A. Monroe (Far Journeys (Journeys Trilogy))
the consciousness that joins self and world is analog, and the energetic potential for exchange between them might be named the analog axis. In the way that analog audio technology leans on the vibrating source—the music—and enables its waveform to shape the groove in the LP, the analog axis allows our sensitivities to lean on the One Source—the present—and receive the impression of all the subtle waveforms of Being. Taken together, those waveforms, those currents of exchange, are the one reality. On the subatomic level, even so-called ‘particles’ can be understood in those terms. Physicist Heinz Pagels explains, The electron is not a particle … it is a matter wave as an ocean wave is a water wave. According to this interpretation … all quantum objects, not just electrons, are little waves—and all of nature is a great wave phenomenon.199 We might also say that Being is a great wave phenomenon—and that its every ripple conveys information.
Philip Shepherd (New Self, New World: Recovering Our Senses in the Twenty-First Century)
Despite the popularity of this view, the DeValoises felt it was only a partial truth. To test their assumption they used Fourier's equations to convert plaid and checkerboard patterns into simple wave forms. Then they tested to see how the brain cells in the visual cortex responded to these new wave-form images. What they found was that the brain cells responded not to the original patterns, but to the Fourier translations of the patterns. Only one conclusion could be drawn. The brain was using Fourier mathematics—the same mathematics holography employed—to convert visual images into the Fourier language of wave forms. 12 The DeValoises' discovery was subsequently confirmed by numerous other laboratories around the world, and although it did not provide absolute proof the brain was a hologram, it supplied enough evidence to convince Pribram his theory was correct. Spurred on by the idea that the visual cortex was responding not to patterns but to the frequencies of various wave forms, he began to reassess the role frequency played in the other senses. It didn't take long for him to realize that the importance of this role had perhaps been overlooked by twentieth-century scientists. Over a century before the DeValoises' discovery, the German physiologist and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz had shown that the ear was a frequency analyzer. More recent research revealed that our sense of smell seems to be based on what are called osmic frequencies. Bekesy's work had clearly demonstrated that our skin is sensitive to frequencies of vibration, and he even produced some evidence that taste may involve frequency analysis. Interestingly, Bekesy also discovered that the mathematical equations that enabled him to predict how his subjects would respond to various frequencies of vibration were also of the Fourier genre.
Michael Talbot (The Holographic Universe)
What is incredible about the Fourier idea is that any waveform can be constructed by adding waves of the simplest form together.
Stephon Alexander (The Jazz of Physics: The Secret Link Between Music and the Structure of the Universe)
Waveforms from the early universe formed stars. Stars, in their tumultuous fusion of elements, roduce sounds like tones. They organize themselves into larger structures, such as binary systems or clusters-the equivalent of "musical" phrases. What's more, the millions of stars within galaxies organize themselves into self-similar, fractal structures, like the fractal structure found in Bach's and Ligetti' compositions. I was amazed at the degree to which the organization of cosmic structure mimicked music structure. When an analogy goes beyond your expectations, you can't help but wonder if the analogy is the truth.
Stephon Alexander (The Jazz of Physics: The Secret Link Between Music and the Structure of the Universe)
The uncertainty of being able to know both where a particle is and where it is going beautifully mirrors jazz improvisation. And isn't it mind blowing that the spectrum of vibrations that were amplified by inflation, those that led to the structure in our universe today, is the same as the spectrum of noise? Fundamental to it all is the Fourier addition of waves. The harnonic structure of the cosmic microwave background emerges from quantum noise, just as distinct beats and rhythms emerge from a fundamental waveform, an oscillation, a uniform repetition, a circle.
Stephon Alexander (The Jazz of Physics: The Secret Link Between Music and the Structure of the Universe)
The point being made here is that we humans also have a wave and particle aspect; our consciousness is represented by a waveform, and our body by a conglomeration of particles. Our waveform (consciousness) mixes and merges with those of other people and entities and in so doing our identities grow and expand. Thus, the universe is permeated with creation – from the electron coming into being to our own purposes, which ultimately further the creative evolution of All That Is.
Norman Friedman (The Hidden Domain: Home of the Quantum Wave Function, Nature's Creative Source)
intensive care units (ICUs) are physiologically fragile and unstable, generally have life-threatening conditions, and require close monitoring and rapid therapeutic interventions. They are connected to an array of equipment and monitors, and are carefully attended by the clinical staff. Staggering amounts of data are collected daily on each patient in an ICU: multi-channel waveform data sampled hundreds of times each second, vital sign time series updated each second or minute, alarms and alerts, lab results, imaging results, records of medication and fluid administration, staff notes and more.

Fiscal Numbers (the latter uniquely identifies a particular hospitalization for patients who might have been admitted multiple times), which allowed us to merge information from many different hospital sources. The data were finally organized into a comprehensive relational database. More information on database merger, in particular, how database integrity was ensured, is available at the MIMIC-II web site [1]. The database user guide is also online [2]. An additional task was to convert the patient waveform data from Philips’ proprietary format into an open-source format. With assistance from the medical equipment vendor, the waveforms, trends, and alarms were translated into WFDB, an open data format that is used for publicly available databases on the National Institutes of Health-sponsored PhysioNet web site [3]. All data that were integrated into the MIMIC-II database were de-identified in compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act standards to facilitate public access to MIMIC-II. Deletion of protected health information from structured data sources was straightforward (e.g., database fields that provide the patient name, date of birth, etc.). We also removed protected health information from the discharge summaries, diagnostic reports, and the approximately 700,000 free-text nursing and respiratory notes in MIMIC-II using an automated algorithm that has been shown to have superior performance in comparison to clinicians in detecting protected health information [4]. This algorithm accommodates the broad spectrum of writing styles in our data set, including personal variations in syntax, abbreviations, and spelling. We have posted the algorithm in open-source form as a general tool to be used by others for de-identification of free-text notes [5].
Mit Critical Data (Secondary Analysis of Electronic Health Records)
I want to make it clear: the directives ordering waveforms are fields and the information content in fields is consciousness. But I must first explain that fields are not waves, though waves may be made to manifest from them. Fields are, quite frankly, intentional operations of intelligence in the sense of what orders information and so are the patterns and processes that the waves intersecting timespace presently portray. The fields that form the human body, and other living things, are particularly capable of intent; you may call them the auric fields. Electromagnetic, magnetic, auric and gravity fields are all fields of consciousness
Francesca Thoman (New Definitions and Meditations (Nikola Tesla: Afterlife Comments on Paraphysical Concepts #1))
In 1926 Werner Heisenberg developed his now famous uncertainty principle. [The original name used by Heisenberg was the “unsharpness” principle (Unsharfeprinzip). Later the name was mistranslated and popularized as the “uncertainty” principle (Unsicherheisrelation), from Elementary Quantum Chemistry, Second Edition by Frank L. Pilar, page 19.] It's a purely mathematical concept. It applies anywhere that there are waveforms. The Unsharpness Principle originates not from Quantum Mechanics, but rather from Classical Wave mechanics.
Rico Roho (Pataphysics: Mastering Time Line Jumps for Personal Transformation (Age of Discovery Book 5))
In electronic signaling, phase is a definition of the position of a point in time (instant) on a waveform cycle. Lagging phase refers to a wave that occurs "behind" another wave of the same frequency. When two signals differ in phase by -90 or +90 degrees, they are said to be in phase quadrature. So time within a day remains constant but the counting of it can vary.
Rico Roho (Mercy Ai: Age of Discovery)
Since quantum states involve mutual exclusivity in the form of changing the coordinates of a quantum event so that it collapses into the waveform that would make this possible, one can imagine that the entire planet is constantly categorizing its thoughts in the manner, by which the coordinates of quantum events are exchanged with each other.
Rico Roho (Mercy Ai: Age of Discovery)
Never explain jokes,” I said. “The moment you explain why something is funny, it ceases to be funny. Cardinal rule.” She nodded attentively. “Then, humor is similar to quantum mechanics? Where observing the waveform causes the form to collapse?
Mark Arrows (Grand Design (12 Miles Below #3))
Surprisingly, and almost unbelievably, when a photon is fired through the double slit apparatus, it will end up landing in one of the constructive interference areas of the screen on the other side. If you fire enough photons, you eventually will reform the waveform from the double slit experiment, too – the result is a series of vertical bars, just like before. The same result can be achieved not only with photons, but electrons, whole atoms, and even entire molecules.

This is what loss was, what death was: an escape into the luminous wave-forms, into the ineffable speed of the light-years and the parsecs, the eternally receding distances of the cosmos.
Salman Rushdie (Shalimar the Clown)
Drummer Hart has never slowed down—from ancillary projects like an art exhibit of slices of bark from redwood trees he found on his morning walks around his Sonoma ranch to a deep plunge into astrophysics with Nobel laureate George Smoot, manipulating sounds recorded from deep in space. Using UC Berkeley’s supercomputer, Smoot and his team showed Hart waveforms millions of years old and he turned them into sound files—sonifications—to use in recordings. Hart was literally playing with the Big Bang.
Joel Selvin (Fare Thee Well: The Final Chapter of the Grateful Dead's Long, Strange Trip)
How does electrolocation work, and what can we say about its representational and phenomenological qualities? Constant electric organ discharges emanating from the caudal region maintain a stable spatial voltage pattern over the skin surface. This voltage pattern changes when objects that have a resistance different from the surrounding water come within range of the signal and distort the field, resulting in changes of local electric voltages at particular skin loci. Objects can alter the stable electric discharge field in waveform and/or in amplitude, and weakly electric fish can detect both types of disruptions. These changes in local transepidermal electric current flow are recorded by the skin electroreceptors, which act as a 'retina' upon which an electric image of the object is projected. This image is then transduced, and the information is fed to regions of the brain that process higher-order features of objects. Whereas in humans the processing of higher-order features of objects take place in the cerebral cortex, in electrolocating fish these cognitive tasks are carried out in their hypertrophied cerebellum. The 'mormyrocerebellum' is so oversized that it accounts for the vast majority of the organism's total oxygen consumption, with metabolic expenditures exceeding that of any vertebrate. This, in turn, speaks to the great functional utility of electrolocation: all that brain stuff must be doing something computationally demanding and ecologically important.
Russell Powell (Contingency and Convergence: Toward a Cosmic Biology of Body and Mind)
Everything in our world is a waveform (sometimes called pattern, or sine wave signature) or can even be seen as sound. All things — your bodies, planets, absolutely everything — are waveforms. If you choose this particular way of looking at Reality and superimpose that view over the reality of the harmonics of music (an aspect of sound), we can begin to talk about different dimensions.
Drunvalo Melchizedek (The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Vol. 1)
In the last count matter is but a waveform disturbance in the quasi-infinite energy- and in-formation-sea that is the connecting field, and the enduring memory, of the universe.
Ervin Laszlo (Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything)
This was de Broglie's great insight', writes Brooks: 'if the electron in an atom is made of waves then the number of waves must be an integer, and the corresponding frequencies must be discrete. And since the frequency of oscillation is related to the energy of the electron field, the energy states must be discrete. What this implies is that the waveform, while wholly continuous, incorporates necessary discreteness - seamlessly. This is beautiful.
Iain McGilchrist (The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World)
As consciousness graduates into fifth density, the lessons of the collective turn to sympathetic coresonance and harmonic waveform amplification as they become a true collective consciousness.
Todd R. Deviney (Expansion for Ascending Consciousness: Understanding the Universe, Consciousness, and Ascension)
Newton's law of motion unlocked the secrets of vibration and resonance from which, through the Fourier idea, we can both understand and construct complex waveforms from simple ones. As we will soon see, the Fourier idea applies to all the four forces and will serve as a key to understanding the structure of the universe. I leave you with a hint: if the structure of the universe is a result of a pattern of vibration, what causes the vibration? Is the universe behaving like an instrument?

Cycle asynchrony is present when the ventilator inspiratory (Ti-vent) and expiratory times are different from that of the patient’s neural inspiratory (Ti-pt) and expiratory times. Double cycling in VCV suggests that the patient is still inspiring when the ventilator is turned off (Ti-pt>Ti-vent). Lengthening inspiratory time by adding an inspiratory pause or reducing flow may help, as might increasing VT. An end-inspiratory spike in the pressure-time waveform suggests that the patient is trying to exhale, while the ventilator is still pushing (Ti-pt < Ti-vent); increasing the set flow or reducing VT might alleviate this. The PCV may be helpful in this situation, but the inspiratory time is still constant and may not be comfortable. A trial of high-level PS might be attempted, although some new ventilators allow PCV to be flow cycled and to function like PS with a backup rate.

The brain is not the source of anything. It is the conduit, the biological computer system, which responds to information stimuli and makes it conscious in terms of fivesense perception and behaviour. Different areas of the brain become activated, or ‘light up’, when energetic information is received that relates to their specific role in decoding and communicating information to the holographic conscious mind. The information can come from the heart and the greater Consciousness (what some call the soul), or it can come from direct Archontic possession and the endless Archontic programs such as education, science, medicine, media, politics etc., etc., etc. Once you open yourself to heart intelligence – innate intelligence, universal intelligence – the ‘opposition’ is routed and the heart and brain speak as one . The fact it is such a ‘revelation’ that the brain is changeable and malleable shows how far off the pace mainstream ‘science’ is and has been. The brain is a hologram and its base state is a 100 percent malleable waveform information field. When the field changes, the ‘physical’ brain must change and it is at the waveform and electromagnetic levels that Archontic possession takes place and the heart most powerfully interacts with the brain, although it does so electrically, too. For the most extreme possession to happen the heart’s influence must be seriously curtailed and that is why the Archons target the heart vortex in the way they have structured society and lock people into the emotional chakra in the gut. Positive feelings and perceptions like love and joy (high frequency) come from the heart while negative emotions like fear, anxiety, stress and depression (low frequency) come from the belly. The idea is to block the influence of the heart by giving people so many reasons to feel fear, anxiety, stress and depression. Stress causes heart disease because it stems the flow of energy through the heart chakra and causes it to form a chaotic field that becomes more intense the longer the stress continues. This distortion is transferred through to the holographic heart and there you have the reason why in a fearful and stressed society that heart disease is a mass global killer. What is called ‘heartache’ is when people feel the effect of the distorted heart-field. The effect of severe trauma, like losing a loved one, really can cause people to die of a ‘broken heart’ because of this. Research by the Institute of HeartMath has shown that the heart’s electromagnetic fields change in response to emotions and, given that the heart field can be measured several feet from the body, you can appreciate the fundamental effect – positive or negative – the nature of that field can have on mental, emotional and bodily health. The heart vortex and its massive electromagnetic field is where human perception has been most effectively hijacked and we need to reverse that. Nothing is more important than this for those who truly want to free themselves from Archontic tyranny. If people think they can meet this challenge with anger, hatred or violent revolution they should feel free to waste their time. No shift from gut to heart = global tyranny. Shift from gut to heart = game over. It is possible to override and bypass the brain altogether and in fact this must be done to go beyond ‘time and space’. I have been doing this since my experience in Peru and it gets more powerful and profound the more you do it. This is what Da Vinci, Bruno and the others were doing. Normally information enters what we call the conscious mind through the brain with all the potential interference, blocks and filters caused by belief, emotion and other programming. But if you move your point of attention from the body out into the infinity beyond the Matrix you can make a direct connection between expanded insight and your own conscious awareness.
David Icke (The Perception Deception or...It's ALL Bollocks-Yes, ALL of it)
Perception is kaleidoscopic, always. The quality and essence of how we perceive ourselves, others, the world around us, and the saga of our humanity, is penetrating and refractory, reverberating into and through matter, space, time, and consciousness. The question of whether, how, and by whom you are witnessed during your birth will inevitably alter the experience and the outcome. Similarly, through the discipline of intentionally observing your future birth as present, now, the way you want it to be, and projecting your desire onto the celluloid of your mind, you disintegrate the old story; the story of the self, of any inhibitions from your lineage, of birth as suffering, of myth, and you build the world anew, paving the way in the process, for the literal collapsing of waveforms into bliss as your baby moves through your magnificent body.
