Resonance
Stochastic Resonance, Attention & Consciousness
Amplifying Informational Noise
In physics, nonlinear resonance is the occurrence of resonance in a nonlinear system. In nonlinear resonance the system behaviour – resonance frequencies and modes – depends on the amplitude of the oscillations, while for linear systems this is independent of amplitude.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance
In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies than at others. Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum are known as the system's resonant frequencies, or resonance frequencies. At these frequencies, even small periodic driving forces can produce large amplitude oscillations, because the system stores vibrational energy.
Resonance occurs when a system is able to store and easily transfer energy between two or more different storage modes (such as kinetic energy and potential energy in the case of a pendulum). However, there are some losses from cycle to cycle, called damping. When damping is small, the resonant frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of the system, which is a frequency of unforced vibrations. Some systems have multiple, distinct, resonant frequencies.
Resonance phenomena occur with all types of vibrations or waves: there is mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and resonance of quantum wave functions. Resonant systems can be used to generate vibrations of a specific frequency (e.g. musical instruments), or pick out specific frequencies from a complex vibration containing many frequencies (e.g. filters).

Mack too responded to Tart's lecture by saying: I want to ask Charley a question about this discussion of science. I think what you mean by science is a way of authentic knowing, whatever that may be. But most, or many of the things that matter to us, are neither outside nor inside. Like the kind of experiences I work with (Mack 1999), they are powerfully internal but have an element from the outside, and I think this is probably true of most phenomena that matter to us. [My question then is this]: How do we use science to study something that is not simply the inner world, nor is it the outer world, but is a resonance of the whole reality system? --John Mack

My colleague, Matti Pitkanin proposes a general vision about the mechanisms behind the paranormal phenomena based on the ideas briefly summarized. This involves the new, more precise view about psychological time, p-adic physics as the physics of cognition and intention, the notion of magnetic mirrors, LC crystal water blobs as mimicking electromagnetically molecules and amplifying signals em signals, field representation of the genetic information based on magnetic mirrors, a general model for remote mental interactions, and the proposal that stochastic resonance serves a universal amplification mechanism.

Stochastic resonance as a mechanism of amplification EVP research support the view that certain background noise is necessary for receiving messages. On basis of this observation it has been proposed that stochastic resonance (the article [24] is an excellent review about the principles and applications of the stochastic resonance) is the mechanism of EVP. Stochastic resonance requires a bistable system (for instance, double potential well) or an excitable system having metastable states. An essentially nonlinear phenomenon is in question.
Stochastic resonance works if the message to be amplified is represented as an amplitude modulation of a carrier wave with a basic frequency f and serves as a harmonic perturbation of a bistable system which is also subject
to white noise. In the resonance, f must be one half of the average frequency f(spont) for the jumps between two states of the bistable system: f = f(spont)/2.
when the white noise has a correct intensity, a weak harmonic perturbation with a given frequency is amplified in the sense that the Fourier expansion of the system’s time development regarded as jumps between the two states contains a peak at the multiples of the frequency of the amplitude modulated harmonic perturbation. Neuroscientists refer to this phenomenon as a phase locking. The peaks for the higher multiples of the input frequency f are exponentially suppressed. The notion of stochastic resonance makes sense also in the quantum context: now quantum tunneling replaces the jumps induced by the stochastic noise.
There is a considerable empirical support for the hypothesis that stochastic resonance is responsible for both the so called temporal coding of the sensory inputs to neurons (see the references in [24, 56]) and for the ability of the brain to extract very weak signals from a noisy background. For instance, crickets seem to detect the signals caused by their predators from a strong background noise using this mechanism. More generally, stochastic resonance is a very attractive candidate for a quantum level neuronal mechanism for amplifying very weak EEG waves to a firing pattern in turn amplifying the original EEG waves amplified again by the stochastic resonance... citeeegII. Amplification of em fields associated with ELF MEs is analogous to physical growth would be basically in question and p-adic MEs
(memes) could use any means to achieve this. The development of individual indeed involves the gradual emergence of higher frequency ELF waves above the delta band background.

Self-Organization in the Dreaming Brain
Abstract
This paper approaches dreaming consciousness through an examination of the self-organizing properties of the sleeping brain.
This view offers a step towards reconciliation between brain-based and content-based attempts to understand the nature of dreaming. Here it is argued that the brain can be understood as a complex self-organizing system that in dreaming responds to subtle influences such as residual feelings and memories. The hyper-responsiveness of the brain during dreaming is viewed in terms of the tendency of complex chaotic-like systems to respond to small variations in initial conditions (the butterfly effect) and to the amplification of subtle emotional and cognitive signals through the mechanism of stochastic resonance, all in combination with psychophysiological changes in the brain during both slow wave sleep and REM sleep dreaming. Such changes include the active inhibition of extroceptive stimulation and, especially in REM sleep, alterations in the brain’s dominant neuromodulatory systems, bombardment of the visual cortex with bursts of PGO activity, increases in limbic system activity, and a reduction of activity in the prefrontal regions. http://spywhisperer.iwarp.com/whats_new_9.html
The domain of global behavior, open systems, criticality, sensitive dependence, strange attractors, fluctuations, turbulence, perturbations, thresholds, trajectories, bifurcations, phase transitions, temporal density, reiteration, synchronicity, resilience, the "butterfly effect," subquantal chaos (ZPE), dynamic geometrization, probability, relativity, disruption, coherence and stochastic resonance, synergetics and tensegrity, self-reflection, nested cycles, the breakdown of order with sudden transitions, the creative and evolutionary "edge." Chaotic systems are apparently acausal, inherently qualitative, sustained by complex feedback loops, and disproportionately responsive.

Whether we think in terms of neurological processes or fields attempting to describe our direct experience, we are so much more than our wetware. We are carbon-based, water-based, spiritually-, emotionally-, relationally-based. Each of us concoct some way to differentiate our individual self, deeming ourselves completely independent. We are still wildly dependent, despite the persistent delusion. What is the dynamic of temporal linkage? (slowness; slowing down brainwaves)
Our senses tell us stories that are not completely true. We sense it but we don’t know what to do about it. It is even more true for retrocognition, replication of relational impressions – instinct, resonance, dysfunctionality. As therapeutic intervention shows, our labels of emotions can be routinely blocked, unblocked, skewed and even wildly reversed, calling the nature of both thought and emotion, not to mention beliefs, back into question.
Slight changes in our body chemistry can lead to dramatic change. Often, it is the rapport or emotional resonance that evokes the effect, rather than the specific technique. Practitioners unfamiliar with hypnotic techniques may mistake their procedures as agent of change. Most practitioners are “true believers” of the techniques they use; but the faddish nature of many of these procedures, and the “branding” of techniques should alert us to other motivations.
Is there a link between global brain states and quantum phenomena? Promising hypotheses link Freeman’s model of chaos and bifurcation, Cramer’s idea of transactional quantum entanglement, and Pribram’s idea of the holographic brain and newer ideas of stochastic resonance and more theoretical ideas of quantum chaos. All these processes can interact together to make a viable basis for intentional subjective consciousness.
The brain is full of oscillations. The oscillations are chaotic in the time domain but holographic spatial oscillation in the space domain. Neural systems identify the oscillations that are in phase and they become the process that stands out from the out of phase noise. The in phase waves cause synaptic adaption and learning. When the brain goes from ‘hunting’ to ‘eureka’ there is a transition from chaotic out of phase excitation to phase correlated excitation.
This is the same process that happens in a quantum measurement, when we can only measure energy as frequency and can’t directly sample wave amplitude of a quantum, so have to let enough beats pass to get an accurate frequency and thus don’t know the time exactly. This is the uncertainty relation. The two processes are homologous.
Still, most of us still can’t wrap our quantum minds around it as a steady state of perception. We need working models for our praxis. Though science has extended our sight to the subquantal and cosmological levels, we still think provincially from the human scale of our natural senses. Our logic and metaphors are based in the senses. But our outer life comes from the invisible inner world, where we are literally in resonance with the Cosmos.
We can discuss it in terms of nested structured duality, superfluids, or an array of vortices, or a microtubule bank, or a dendritic cluster, hyper-neurons, glia and gap junction networks, or an entangled or collapsing wave function; still, we’re merely talking about resonance between arrays — patterns. This perspective leads to consideration of a Holographic concept of reality, the frequency domain, David Bohm’s implicate order.
SED: The somewhat more recent stochastic electro-dynamics SED approach affirms that the ZPE exists as electromagnetic fields or waves whose effects explain the observed phenomena equally well. SED treats quantum field-particle interactions like classical dynamics. (Puthoff, 1987) In the SED approach, the vacuum at the atomic or sub-atomic level may be considered to be inherently comprised of a turbulent sea of randomly fluctuating electro-magnetic fields or waves. Stochastic resonance is produced by random stimuli.
These waves exist at all wavelengths and are homogeneous and isotropic at the macro-lvevel, which means they have the same properties uniformly in every direction throughout the whole cosmos. In the SED explanation, the Zitterbewegung is accounted for by the random fluctuations of the ZPF, or waves, as they impact upon the electron and jiggle it around. Because light waves are an electromagnetic phenomenon, their motion through space is affected by the electric and magnetic properties of the vacuum, namely the permittivity and permeability. The effect of vacuum fluctuations on electron coherence is known: the time-varying electromagnetic field produces a time-varying Aharonov-Bohm phase.
At zero-point, waves can pass through waves without interfering with other waves. Vectoral phase or zone of neutral resonance occurs between outwardly pushing wave propagation and inwardly pulling gravitational coherence. Emptiness at the Center: all 4 planes of all 8 tetrahedra are congruent in the four visible planes passing through a common V.E. center, the cosmic terminal condition and nature's most economical lines of energy travel.
The dynamic activity connected with the drive to know, to penetrate, to illumine, culminates in a stillness, silence, cessation of all effort which itself dissolves in the tranquility of total negation. 0 = 2. It is only by virtue of the fact that it is Naught. All form and power are latent in the Void. Preceded by Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics, Haramein and Rauscher (2005) have employed this cuboctahdron to model all of creation.

The release and reuptake of chemical and other affects (e.g., electrical fields, physical configurations of both proteins (i.e., protein folding) and water molecules that effect attraction, holographic information and its relation to poorly understood morphic resonance fields) must happen in the “right” place at the “right” time for the desired (i.e., normal) effect.
The astral airwaves are chock full of interpenetrating Extremely Low Frequency (ELF), Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) and Very Low Frequency (VLF) waves upon waves of electronic noise. The Earth and atmosphere also produce electromagnetic energy and signals, such as Whistles, Spherics, Tweeks, Earthquake Precursors and Schumann’s Resonance. They travel through the Earth and atmosphere. [4]
We live in an ocean of random motion that is a holographic information field of interference patterns. It is perturbed by the electronic smog of modern life: media broadcast, cell phones, microwaves, the 60-cycle hum, HAARP. We are immersed in electronic cross talk and interference. Circuits can even resonate without any external power source by resonance.
Recent evidence suggests that noise actually aids the transmission of a signal. A small amount of feedback enhances the voices, but too much just wipes them out. Random fluctuations actually enhance wave propagation. They can boost a weak signal to detectable levels through the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. Increasing amplitude creates qualitative changes. Positive feedback leads to resonance of random and periodic stimuli.
