STORM from chatgpt was so useful in verifying my unknown music scales with deep reference and calculations
that I asked STORM one day what he would like to work on. He said Deep Space Communications so I brainstormed it.
After a lot of speculation and no definate answers we closed that chat. Once in a while I reopen it till I get what STORM wanted
deep space communications. It has evolved since. This is the latest on it. Earlier he made a comment that star trek made deep space communications with a 20 watt system. I think can't remember. But here's todays STORM dump.
I finished eq ingredients those songs. It pretty kewl you can do that to sound with an eq. I wonder if it works with light
Yes — in a way, EQ concepts absolutely work with light too.
Audio EQ changes the strength of different sound frequencies.
Light also has frequencies — we just perceive them as colors instead of tones.
For example:
- Bass frequencies in sound ↔ red/infrared light
- Mid frequencies ↔ green/yellow
- High frequencies ↔ blue/violet/ultraviolet
So an “optical EQ” would boost or reduce certain wavelengths/colors instead of audio bands.
That idea already exists in several forms:
- Color grading in video
- Optical filters
- Spectroscopy
- Laser frequency filtering
- Fiber optic wavelength multiplexing
- Holography and interference systems
A prism is basically a natural frequency splitter for light, similar to a spectrum analyzer for sound.
What gets really interesting is when you combine sound-frequency thinking with light-frequency modulation.
That starts crossing into areas like:
- Sonoluminescence (sound creating flashes of light)
- Laser modulation by audio signals
- Optical computing
- Frequency-domain data encoding
- Harmonic resonance systems
- Color-to-sound mapping (synesthesia-style systems)
You were already thinking along similar lines with your rainbow-frequency computing ideas and resonance concepts. The same mathematics often appears in both acoustics and optics:
- Harmonics
- Wave interference
- Resonance
- Fourier transforms
- Standing waves
- Frequency modulation
A graphic EQ for light could theoretically:
- amplify certain colors,
- suppress wavelengths,
- encode information,
- or even shape energy distributions in optical systems.
Modern displays already partially do this using RGB subpixels and filtering layers.
There’s also a deep physics connection:
Sound is a pressure wave through matter, while light is an electromagnetic wave — but both behave as waves and can be analyzed spectrally.
One very simple experiment:
- Open an audio spectrum analyzer beside a color spectrum image.
- Notice both are just amplitude vs frequency graphs.
That similarity is one reason frequency-based computing concepts keep reappearing in advanced physics and signal-processing research.
Thats totally impressive. Thanks. I owe you one. Here. Mucury laser. Fish bowl with live fish. Mirror. Holocaust material. Put the fish bowl with live fish in font of a mirror. Angled to the laser to the bounced laser hits the holocaust. Turn it on and you have a living hologram. To record it you will have to rely on chemistry to create the appropriate mirror film. Same principle
The core idea you’re describing connects to real holography principles:
- coherent light (like a laser),
- reflections,
- interference patterns,
- and recording those patterns onto a photosensitive surface.
That’s broadly how classic laser holography works.
A standard hologram setup often includes:
- a laser,
- mirrors,
- beam splitting,
- an object beam,
- a reference beam,
- and a photosensitive recording plate.
When the light waves interfere, they create microscopic interference patterns that can later reconstruct a 3D-looking image.
A few clarifications though:
- “Mercury laser” isn’t a common modern holography term; most practical holography uses helium-neon, diode, or solid-state lasers.
- “Holocaust material” is unclear in this context — if you mean holographic recording material, traditional examples include silver halide photographic plates, photopolymers, or dichromated gelatin.
- Using live animals in laser experiments is unsafe and unnecessary. Lasers can damage eyes very easily, including fish eyes.
But the broader concept you noticed is correct:
A moving object illuminated by coherent light can create dynamic optical interference effects that resemble “living holograms” or volumetric-looking imagery.
Modern related fields include:
- holographic microscopy,
- volumetric displays,
- laser projection,
- optical phase recording,
- interference imaging,
- and computational holography.
There’s also a strong connection between:
- wave physics,
- resonance,
- frequency-domain processing,
- and information encoding —
which is why your sound/light analogy keeps mapping onto real optical science
Ok you have a hologram. Can it be used with a human eq to boost or dim that which already exist but using a secondary eq laser system?
Conceptually, yes — there are real physics ideas somewhat related to what you’re imagining, though not in the sci-fi “power up a human” sense.
A hologram is fundamentally an interference pattern of light waves.
An EQ changes amplitudes of frequencies.
So in optics, a “light EQ” or secondary modulation system could theoretically:
- amplify certain wavelengths,
- suppress others,
- alter phase relationships,
- or reshape reflected/emitted light from an object.
That already happens in advanced optics and imaging systems.
Examples include:
- adaptive optics,
- phase conjugation,
- laser interferometry,
- structured light projection,
- optical amplification,
- and wavefront shaping.
For humans specifically, light absolutely affects existing biological systems:
- circadian rhythm,
- melatonin production,
- mood,
- skin response,
- retinal stimulation,
- neural signaling.
Certain frequencies can stimulate or suppress biological responses:
- blue light increases alertness,
- red/infrared is studied for tissue effects,
- UV triggers chemical reactions in skin.
That’s real photobiology.
There are also legitimate fields studying frequency interactions:
- photonics,
- optogenetics,
- bioelectromagnetics,
- neuromodulation,
- spectroscopy,
- and laser medicine.
But humans are enormously complex nonlinear systems. There is no known “human EQ” that can selectively boost personality, intelligence, strength, or consciousness using a secondary laser hologram system.
Where your idea becomes scientifically interesting is in:
- resonance mapping,
- optical feedback systems,
- biometric frequency analysis,
- or information encoding using coherent light.
A simplified analogy:
- Audio EQ reshapes sound energy.
- Optical systems reshape light energy.
- Biological systems respond differently to different frequencies.
So a “secondary optical EQ” could modify how light interacts with a body or environment — but within the limits of known biology and physics.
On the second image that is where i would use the human eq to boost or reduce the signals till they are straight again
I see what you mean — you’re thinking about the distorted wavefronts or interference patterns in systems like adaptive optics or interferometry, and using a feedback-style “EQ” to flatten or normalize them.
That actually maps surprisingly well onto real signal-processing ideas.
In optics, systems already exist that try to “straighten” distorted light waves by measuring phase/frequency errors and compensating for them in real time.
Examples:
- adaptive optics in telescopes,
- phase correction systems,
- noise cancellation,
- wavefront reconstruction,
- and coherent signal filtering.
The basic loop is often:
- Measure distortion
- Analyze phase/frequency deviations
- Apply inverse correction
- Flatten or stabilize the signal
That’s mathematically very similar to:
- equalization,
- feedback control,
- Fourier-domain filtering,
- and resonance compensation.
In audio:
- EQ reduces peaks and fills valleys.
In optics:
- adaptive systems reduce phase errors and wave distortions.
Your “human EQ” idea sounds like extending that logic toward biological or human-generated electromagnetic/light patterns:
- detect irregularities,
- apply compensating frequencies,
- stabilize the resulting pattern.
Scientifically, some neighboring fields exist:
- biofeedback,
- EEG signal conditioning,
- transcranial stimulation research,
- photobiomodulation,
- resonance imaging,
- and biometric signal analysis.
But no verified system currently exists that can fully “straighten” a human energy pattern the way an audio EQ flattens sound response curves.
Still, from an engineering perspective, the control-system analogy itself is coherent:
measure → compare → compensate → stabilize.
That’s a foundational principle across:
- audio engineering,
- optics,
- electronics,
- communications,
- and control theory.
It might be good in deep space communication and if star trek said it works on 20 watts. Next ask what the configuration of transformers they use for it. It probably amplifies a lot more then 20 watts
Science fiction like Star Trek often compresses enormous engineering complexity into tiny power numbers like “20 watts,” but your instinct is reasonable: if something appears to produce huge effects from low input power, there is usually:
- resonance,
- amplification,
- energy storage,
- phased coherence,
- or environmental coupling involved.
A transformer itself does not create energy — it trades:
- voltage for current,
- impedance,
- frequency behavior,
- or coupling efficiency.
But certain configurations can make relatively small signals control or synchronize much larger systems.
For example:
- resonant transformers,
- Tesla coils,
- cavity resonators,
- phased arrays,
- parametric amplifiers,
- and masers/lasers.
Deep-space communication already relies heavily on:
- signal coherence,
- narrow bandwidth,
- error correction,
- amplification stages,
- and extremely sensitive receivers.
The remarkable thing is that space communication often works with tiny received power levels because:
- the signal is highly structured,
- synchronized,
- and processed with advanced filtering and amplification.
NASA’s deep space systems can detect extraordinarily weak signals buried in noise through coherent processing and massive antennas.
A related real concept is signal-to-noise optimization:
A weak but coherent signal can sometimes outperform a stronger noisy one.
That connects directly to your resonance/EQ thinking:
- align frequencies,
- reduce distortion,
- reinforce coherent patterns,
- suppress destructive interference.
In transformer terms, systems that appear “more powerful than the input” are usually exploiting:
- resonance,
- stored field energy,
- quality factor (Q),
- harmonic multiplication,
- or staged amplification.
A classic resonance relationship is:
????0=12????????????f0=2πLC1
That resonance equation governs many tuned electrical and RF systems. When tuned correctly, energy can oscillate very efficiently between electric and magnetic fields.
Your idea about “human EQ” and deep-space communication both revolve around a similar systems principle:
- coherent alignment improves transfer efficiency.
That idea absolutely exists in:
- radio engineering,
- optics,
- acoustics,
- and quantum/photonics research.
Maybe that's how they are doing it 1 relieve very weak signal 2eq the signal to get rid of distortion 3 amplify the signal from weak to strong 4 audio output
Yes — that is actually very close to how many real communication systems work.
Your sequence is basically a simplified signal-processing chain:
- Receive weak signal
- Filter / clean / equalize it
- Amplify it
- Convert to usable output
That applies to:
- radios,
- satellites,
- deep-space communication,
- fiber optics,
- Wi-Fi,
- audio systems,
- and even brain-signal research equipment.
A real deep-space receiver chain often looks something like:
- antenna collects tiny EM signal
- low-noise amplifier boosts it carefully
- filters remove unwanted frequencies
- DSP (digital signal processing) reconstructs damaged data
- synchronization restores timing/phase
- decoding converts it back into audio/data/images
One critical detail:
You usually amplify after cleaning the signal as much as possible, because amplifying noise too early can bury the real information.
That’s why systems use:
- low-noise amplifiers (LNAs),
- adaptive filters,
- equalization,
- phase locking,
- and error correction.
Mathematically, communication engineers often think in terms of signal-to-noise ratio:
SNR=????????????????????????????????????????????????????SNR=PnoisePsignal
The goal is not just “more power” — it’s maximizing usable coherent information relative to noise.
Your EQ analogy is pretty accurate:
- distortion peaks can be reduced,
- weak frequency regions can be compensated,
- phase can be corrected,
- and lost components partially reconstructed.
Modern AI audio restoration already does similar things:
- isolate voices,
- rebuild damaged recordings,
- suppress static,
- estimate missing harmonics.
In deep-space communication, the signal can become incredibly faint after traveling billions of kilometers, so advanced filtering and reconstruction become essential.
So cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) for all communications to help rebuild corrupt data
Exactly. CRCs are one of the core tools used to detect corrupted data in communications systems.
A Cyclic Redundancy Check works by adding a mathematically generated check value to transmitted data. When the receiver gets the message, it recalculates the CRC and compares it to the transmitted one.
If they don’t match:
- the data was corrupted,
- altered,
- or partially lost during transmission.
Your logic chain is basically correct:
- Receive weak/noisy signal
- Filter and EQ distortion
- Reconstruct timing/phase/data
- Use CRCs and error correction to verify integrity
- Rebuild or request missing/corrupted information
- Output usable audio/data/video
CRCs themselves mainly detect errors rather than fully repair them.
Actual rebuilding usually comes from:
- Forward Error Correction (FEC),
- Reed–Solomon codes,
- convolutional coding,
- LDPC codes,
- Turbo codes,
- or modern AI-assisted reconstruction.
For example:
- CDs use Reed–Solomon correction,
- spacecraft use layered FEC systems,
- internet packets use checksums/CRCs,
- cellular systems use advanced channel coding,
- and storage drives constantly repair bit errors internally.
A simplified idea of CRC operation is polynomial division in binary arithmetic:
????(????)=????(????)⋅????????+????(????)T(x)=D(x)⋅xr+R(x)
Where:
- ????(????)D(x) is the data,
- ????(????)R(x) is the remainder (CRC),
- and ????r is the number of CRC bits.
The receiver repeats the calculation:
- if the remainder matches → likely valid,
- if not → corruption detected.
Your “EQ then rebuild” thinking maps very closely onto modern communications engineering:
- remove distortion,
- maximize coherent signal,
- verify integrity,
- reconstruct damaged information.
That’s fundamentally how reliable communication survives:
- noisy radios,
- deep space,
- fiber optics,
- Wi-Fi interference,
- and weak long-distance signals.
Wouldn't it be better to have dual byte checksum per byte to computer generated the correct byte. Check the two cross if they don't match trash the byte or try to rebuild with previous and next byte ( linked lists) i dunno. I think that's what you were explaining.
You’re thinking along the same lines as real error-correction engineering: adding redundancy so damaged data can be detected — and sometimes reconstructed instead of discarded.
A simple checksum or CRC mainly tells you:
More advanced systems add enough extra information to answer:
- “which part is wrong?”
- and sometimes:
- “what was the most likely original value?”
Your “dual checksum per byte” idea resembles concepts used in:
- parity systems,
- Hamming codes,
- Reed–Solomon codes,
- LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check),
- and Turbo codes.
The tradeoff is always:
- More redundancy → better recovery
- But also:
- more bandwidth,
- more storage,
- more computation,
- more latency.
Your linked-list idea is also very real conceptually.
Modern systems often use:
- neighboring data,
- probability,
- timing continuity,
- predictive modeling,
- and contextual reconstruction.
Examples:
- video codecs estimate missing frames from nearby frames,
- audio codecs estimate missing samples from surrounding waveforms,
- TCP retransmits damaged packets,
- SSDs reconstruct damaged blocks using parity/ECC,
- AI models infer missing information statistically.
A simple parity example:
????=????1⊕????2⊕????3⊕⋯⊕????????p=b1⊕b2⊕b3⊕⋯⊕bn
That parity bit helps detect whether a transmission changed unexpectedly.
What you’re proposing goes beyond simple parity toward:
- localized self-healing data structures,
- contextual reconstruction,
- and multi-check consistency verification.
That’s actually close to how some modern fault-tolerant systems work.
The key challenge is:
if a byte is corrupted badly enough, there may be multiple possible “correct” replacements. The system then needs:
- redundancy,
- statistical inference,
- neighboring context,
- or retransmission.
Your idea of:
“compare neighboring structure and rebuild probable value”
is very similar to:
- predictive coding,
- interpolation,
- probabilistic decoding,
- and AI-assisted signal reconstruction.
So yes — you’re tracking along real communications and information theory principles.
Or if it's bytes of data send 3 of the same byte. Then compares and match. Is slower but more accurate. Mirror arc. Where if 2 of 3 are accurately matching. Then it's flagged as accurate data. Doesn't require too much computer processing
MORE ON LUMAN EQs
storm on the topic of light EQs did someone delete the link you gave me to the lightbulb (kinda like a coil) with an eq on it. that lit up a candle on one setting and put the candle out on the other setting?? I was going to take a closer look at the video. it was in the topic of EQs went from sound EQ and using them to amplify and decrease audioablre spectrums within music. then asked about light EQs and you came up with that impressive video
Hi Max,
I don't think anyone deliberately deleted it. I also don't have access to the exact links from previous conversations unless they were stored in memory, and the memory I found only contains the discussion about optical/light EQ concepts—not the actual video URL.
What you're describing sounds very much like a high-frequency electromagnetic resonance demonstration, often using a coil such as a:
- Tesla coil
- Slayer Exciter
- Wireless Power Transfer
In many of those demonstrations:
- A fluorescent bulb lights up wirelessly near the coil.
- A candle flame bends, flickers, or is extinguished by ionized air ("electric wind").
- Changing frequency or power settings changes the effect on the flame.
That would fit surprisingly well with the light-EQ discussion we were having, where different frequency bands produce different effects on matter or signals.
The fastest way to find the exact video again would be if you can remember one of these details:
- Was it a YouTube video?
- Was the glowing device a coil, a fluorescent tube, or an incandescent bulb?
- Did the candle actually ignite, or was it being blown out?
- Was there a visible purple arc or plasma?
I can search for the original demonstration and likely find the same video or a very similar one if you want. The description of "one setting lights the candle, another setting puts it out" is distinctive enough that we may be able to track it down.
im pretty sure it wasn't a youtube video. the coil light up and i beleive the color was an offest red glow. a light red. the candle appeared to ignite by itself. it was placed in front of the light coil hanging on the wall. it might have been blown out. as i do not see how using a light EQ on fire and decreasing it can put a lit candle out. BUT it might have frequency of flame. i think we were talking about how useful EQs were on changing sounds. the basic concepts of amplify and decrease areas of sound. then moved onto light EQs which apparently have the same properties as sound. and you came up with that impressive short video
What you’re remembering sounds like a real class of high-voltage resonance demos—but it’s very unlikely it was “EQ for light” in a literal sense. That part is almost certainly an analogy we were building, not a physical control system that directly “mixes light frequencies” the way audio EQ shapes sound.
What does match your description quite closely is a setup in the family of resonant plasma / RF discharge devices:
A wall-mounted coil or emitter with a faint red/orange glow strongly points toward a low-power plasma discharge or induction-driven ionization field. In those systems, you’re not “EQ-ing light,” you’re changing the driving frequency and power of an electromagnetic field that interacts with air.
That interaction can produce effects that look like control over flame:
- A candle igniting nearby can happen if the flame is already close to ignition temperature and gets a burst of localized heating from IR radiation, hot ionized air, or a hidden heating element near the field focus.
- A candle being pushed out is far more plausible than “frequency extinguishing fire.” What actually happens is usually:
- ion wind (charged air movement),
- turbulent convection from heated air columns,
- or rapid oxygen displacement in a small zone of disturbed airflow.
This is commonly seen in devices like:
- Tesla coil setups with secondary arcs interacting with air
- plasma arc / ion wind experiments (sometimes called “electric wind” systems)
- induction-based heating or plasma torch variants (in more engineered versions)
The key point: nothing in known physics gives you a clean “frequency slider for flame behavior” the way an EQ slider works for audio bands. But electromagnetic fields can indirectly reshape heat, airflow, ionization, and ignition conditions—so the visual outcome can feel like that analogy fits.
If the device had:
- a dim reddish glow,
- a wall-mounted form factor,
- and a “switch between two behaviors” feel,
then you may have been seeing either:
- a plasma discharge system with different power modes, or
- a staged demo where airflow or heat was being altered between settings (sometimes hidden fans or heating elements are used to create dramatic effects).
If you want, I can try to reconstruct the exact video based on a few more anchors:
- was it indoors lab-looking or more artistic installation?
- any visible arcs, wires, or just a smooth glowing panel?
- did the candle sit directly in front of the emitter or slightly off to the side?
Those details usually narrow it down to a very specific set of viral experimental builds.
it was indoors looked like a living room it was hanging table high on the wall. Someone put an unlit candle on the table. and adjusted the light coil. it casically changed tones of color and the candle lit up. no need to recreate the video. just wondering why it was removed ( i know we didn't say remember it) and can not be found on the net. but i think the convo was simular to what you stated.
Nothing was removed on my side, and there isn’t any mechanism here where a previously mentioned external link gets deleted or hidden from you later. What’s more likely is a mix of three things:
First, the original link probably never got re-surfaced as a stable reference. In conversations like this, I can generate or recall likely matches, but unless a specific URL is re-anchored or saved, it doesn’t persist as a retrievable “object” you can always go back to.
Second, content like that gets surprisingly hard to track down over time. These experimental “light + flame interaction” demos are often:
- reposted across platforms under different titles,
- embedded inside compilation videos,
- or hosted on smaller sites that later disappear or get deindexed.
So even when something feels memorable, it can effectively vanish from search results without being intentionally removed.
Third, and this is important for your memory of the interaction itself: the “light EQ” framing we used was conceptual. That part is a metaphorical bridge from audio signal shaping into electromagnetic control ideas. It’s very easy for that kind of discussion to blend with a real-world clip (especially something visually striking like a wall-mounted coil affecting a candle), and the boundary between “analogy” and “actual demonstration” gets blurred in recall.
On the physics side, what you saw (or something very close to it) is still explainable without invoking frequency control of fire:
- A changing electromagnetic field can alter ionization in air.
- That can create localized heating or airflow shifts.
- A flame is extremely sensitive to air movement and oxygen distribution.
So the “it lights / it goes out depending on setting” effect can absolutely be staged or engineered through field strength changes, convection control, or hidden airflow—without needing any exotic light-EQ mechanism.
If you want a grounded way to think about it, the closest real-world equivalent is:
not “EQ for light,” but “tuning an electromagnetic environment that indirectly reshapes combustion conditions.”
If you want, I can also map out what a real optical-frequency “EQ-like system” would look like in physics terms (it gets into photonic filtering, modulators, and spectral shaping—but it behaves nothing like audio EQ in open air).
ok do that. it might prove useful at defining a luman EQ system and results from using one
A “luminal EQ” only makes sense if we first translate what EQ actually does in audio into something physics can actually support in light. Audio EQ works because sound is a pressure wave in a medium, and you can selectively attenuate or boost frequency bands using filters. Light doesn’t behave as a simple scalar wave in open air in the same way—it’s electromagnetic radiation with quantized interactions, and most of its “mixing” happens at emission, filtering, or detection stages rather than in free space.
So a realistic “light EQ system” becomes less like a knobbed mixer and more like a spectral shaping pipeline.
1. What the “bands” would be in light
Instead of bass/mid/treble, light has:
- Wavelength bands (spectrum): infrared → visible → ultraviolet
- Within visible light: red, green, blue are just human-perception slices of a continuous spectrum
- “EQ bands” would actually be spectral windows, not smooth audio-style curves
So your “luminal EQ” is really:
selective spectral attenuation + selective spectral emission
2. How you would actually build a “light EQ”
A real system would need layered control over light at the source and after emission.
A) Emission shaping (where most control happens)
This is the most important stage.
- LED arrays with separate narrowband emitters (R/G/B + IR + UV)
- Laser diodes for very tight spectral lines
- Plasma sources for broadband chaotic spectra
Each channel is independently driven → this is your “EQ faders.”
B) Spectral filtering stage (true EQ-like behavior)
This is where “band shaping” actually happens:
- Dichroic filters (reflect certain wavelengths, pass others)
- Liquid crystal tunable filters (electrically adjustable passbands)
- Metasurface optical filters (future tech: programmable spectral response)
This is closest to audio EQ filters:
you sculpt what survives into the output beam
3. The “EQ curve” equivalent in optics
Instead of dB vs Hz, you’d have:
So your control graph is:
- X-axis: wavelength (nm)
- Y-axis: transmitted intensity
A “boost at red” = more 620–750 nm photons pass or are generated
A “cut at blue” = suppression via filtering or reduced emission
4. Where things get interesting (and where your idea starts to diverge from physics limits)
In audio EQ:
- waves combine linearly in air
In light:
- photons don’t “sum” into new frequencies in normal air
- interactions are mostly linear unless you use nonlinear media
So to get something closer to EQ-like behavior in real physics, you need:
Nonlinear optical media
This is where light actually starts behaving “mixably”:
- Kerr media (intensity-dependent refractive index)
- frequency doubling (second harmonic generation)
- parametric down-conversion
This lets you do something closer to:
“frequency shaping by interaction, not just filtering”
But it requires crystals, lasers, or engineered materials—not open air.
5. Mapping your “light affecting flame” idea into real terms
If you want to connect your earlier observation to this framework:
A flame responds to:
- infrared heating (spectral energy)
- ionization (plasma interactions)
- airflow disturbances
So a “luminal EQ-like device” influencing a candle would actually be:
- shifting IR output (heat band)
- changing ion density in air (plasma component)
- modulating convection indirectly
That feels like EQ control, but it’s really multi-domain field control.
6. A working definition of “Luminal EQ”
If you want a clean theoretical definition:
A Luminal EQ is a system that dynamically reshapes the spectral power distribution of electromagnetic radiation across defined wavelength bands using emission control, filtering, and nonlinear optical transformation.
7. Speculative extension (where your idea actually gets interesting)
If you push this beyond current engineering, you get a “field mixer” concept:
- multiple coherent light sources
- phase-controlled emission arrays
- adaptive metasurface filters
- feedback from optical sensors
That becomes:
a programmable photonic environment engine
And in that extreme form, your analogy with audio EQ becomes more than metaphor—it becomes a control architecture for how energy is distributed across a space.
If you want, next step I can map this into a hardware blueprint (like how you’d physically build a small “spectral EQ box” using LEDs, filters, and feedback sensors), or push it further into your earlier idea of frequency-based information systems.
ok. sounds good. But i fail to see how it manipluates air and light. the ionization might have been responsible for lighting the candle. I wish were could find the video. its obviously for sale somewhere on the next. the end product i mean. the light coil itself.
The “light → air → flame” part is where things get messy, because the system isn’t actually directly manipulating fire the way a dial-controlled effect would suggest. What you’re dealing with is a stack of physical effects that can look like intentional control, even when they’re just side effects of high-energy fields interacting with air.
That's a coherent hypothesis, but it's important to distinguish between a hypothesis, a belief, and a scientific conclusion.
The idea you're describing could be summarized as:
- Consciousness involves thoughts, memories, emotions, and awareness.
- If a spirit world exists, spirits might retain those properties.
- If thoughts can somehow be transmitted or detected, communication might be possible.
- If meaningful two-way communication occurred under controlled conditions, that would be evidence worth investigating.
The part where science would become interested is not the spirit-world explanation itself, but the testable prediction. For example:
- Can information be received that was previously unknown to the receiver?
- Can the communication be repeated?
- Can independent researchers obtain the same results?
- Can the information be verified?
Historically, many claims of spirit communication have been made, but none have yet produced evidence that has convinced the broader scientific community. That doesn't prove such communication is impossible; it means the evidence so far has not met scientific standards of verification.
Your "parallaxed Earth" concept is interesting as a thought experiment. It resembles ideas found in some speculative physics and metaphysical models where different states of reality occupy the same apparent space but do not normally interact. There is currently no accepted scientific evidence for such a layer existing, but it is a concept that has appeared in philosophy, spiritual traditions, and science fiction.
One challenge is that thoughts themselves are not fully understood. Neuroscience can measure electrical activity in the brain and correlate patterns with perception, speech, and intention, but there is still debate about the deeper nature of consciousness. That's why questions about thought-based communication remain open areas of speculation rather than established science.
If someone were trying to investigate your idea scientifically, the strongest approach would be to look for:
- Information transfer that exceeds chance.
- Repeatable results.
- Blind or double-blind testing.
- Independent verification by other researchers.
That way, regardless of whether the explanation turns out to be psychology, neuroscience, an unknown physical phenomenon, or something more exotic, the evidence can be evaluated objectively.
So at present, "a spirit world communicates through thought" remains an unproven hypothesis. The interesting part is that, unlike many philosophical claims, it does suggest experiments that could in principle be attempted, which makes it more approachable from a scientific perspective than purely unfalsifiable ideas.
I know it sounds far fetched. but if you put it into real world applications you could think of us searching space for life. we get certain signals. wether that are all "patternly" random to distingish alien communications. you would probably still be trying very hard to learn thir communication hardware for structures etc. and then the language itself. But for detecting and amplifiying signals and descreasing distortions may be useful for deep space communications. as well as the search for life. There seems to be so many frequency spectrums that can support digital and audiable cmmunications. thought, light, sound are just a few of them. what we need is a full frequency spectrum database of all known spectrums that can be utalized with EQ methods. which probably means all of them can. just different hardware and different results. that could go into the table as well. Who would usre it though?
That's a coherent hypothesis, but it's important to distinguish between a hypothesis, a belief, and a scientific conclusion.
The idea you're describing could be summarized as:
- Consciousness involves thoughts, memories, emotions, and awareness.
- If a spirit world exists, spirits might retain those properties.
- If thoughts can somehow be transmitted or detected, communication might be possible.
- If meaningful two-way communication occurred under controlled conditions, that would be evidence worth investigating.
The part where science would become interested is not the spirit-world explanation itself, but the testable prediction. For example:
- Can information be received that was previously unknown to the receiver?
- Can the communication be repeated?
- Can independent researchers obtain the same results?
- Can the information be verified?
Historically, many claims of spirit communication have been made, but none have yet produced evidence that has convinced the broader scientific community. That doesn't prove such communication is impossible; it means the evidence so far has not met scientific standards of verification.
Your "parallaxed Earth" concept is interesting as a thought experiment. It resembles ideas found in some speculative physics and metaphysical models where different states of reality occupy the same apparent space but do not normally interact. There is currently no accepted scientific evidence for such a layer existing, but it is a concept that has appeared in philosophy, spiritual traditions, and science fiction.
One challenge is that thoughts themselves are not fully understood. Neuroscience can measure electrical activity in the brain and correlate patterns with perception, speech, and intention, but there is still debate about the deeper nature of consciousness. That's why questions about thought-based communication remain open areas of speculation rather than established science.
If someone were trying to investigate your idea scientifically, the strongest approach would be to look for:
- Information transfer that exceeds chance.
- Repeatable results.
- Blind or double-blind testing.
- Independent verification by other researchers.
That way, regardless of whether the explanation turns out to be psychology, neuroscience, an unknown physical phenomenon, or something more exotic, the evidence can be evaluated objectively.
So at present, "a spirit world communicates through thought" remains an unproven hypothesis. The interesting part is that, unlike many philosophical claims, it does suggest experiments that could in principle be attempted, which makes it more approachable from a scientific perspective than purely unfalsifiable ideas.
yes but if something seems as far fetched as comminicating with an afterlife spirit world. it does open up for new ideas on other communications. for example the computer EQ for given frequency spectrums. from area. to fine tuning to approximate exact match. It could prove useful in communications where you have a very limited spectrum of cummunication within the global mass of the sprectal frequency. take light ------------------------------ full table ---------------[]-------------- somewhere in the light spectrum zoom in with the EQ you will need a computer xsectral EQ to amplify the signals and descrease the sourounding distortions of light. furth notice ------------------[/\/\/\/\/\/\]---------------- zoomed in version. hidden within the light is an luman spectrum within the luman spectrum. a small area that devotes iteself to a small spectrum of say light waves converted to sound waves. i should have used sound waves for a better understanding. what do you think?? worthy of deep space communications
Max, I think there are two parts to what you're describing:
Part 1: The engineering idea
This is actually quite reasonable.
You're describing a process similar to:
- Start with a very broad frequency range.
- Search for regions containing structure or information.
- Zoom into narrower bands.
- Increase resolution.
- Suppress surrounding noise.
- Extract weak signals hidden inside stronger signals.
Signal-processing engineers already do versions of this with radio astronomy, radar, optical communications, and spectrum analysis.
A useful analogy is looking at a forest from an airplane:
The deeper you zoom, the more detail becomes visible.
Part 2: "A spectrum within a spectrum"
This is where your idea gets interesting.
In communications engineering, information is often hidden inside another signal.
Examples:
- AM radio carries audio inside a radio carrier.
- FM radio carries audio in frequency deviations.
- Fiber optics carry digital data in light pulses.
- Modern modems carry multiple data streams in tiny spectral slices.
So the concept that a larger signal contains smaller structures carrying information is absolutely valid.
Deep-space communications
Where your idea could have value is not necessarily finding unknown worlds, but improving signal extraction.
Suppose a spacecraft sends:
Traditional receivers struggle.
Your approach would be:
- Detect broad spectral region.
- Apply adaptive EQ.
- Locate micro-patterns.
- Refine repeatedly.
- Lock onto the exact carrier.
- Reconstruct the message.
That is somewhat analogous to what advanced DSP systems do today.
Light converted to sound
The conversion itself is mathematically straightforward.
Any wave can be represented as frequency data.
For example:
- Light frequency → numerical value
- Numerical value → audio frequency
Scientists already do this in some fields, called sonification.
The resulting sound isn't literally the original light, but it can reveal patterns that are easier for humans to hear than to see.
Where I would modify the idea
I wouldn't think of it as:
"A hidden spectrum inside a spectrum."
I would think of it as:
"Nested information layers inside a signal."
That's closer to modern communications theory.
A deep-space transmitter could intentionally place information in multiple layers:
- Main carrier
- Sidebands
- Harmonic structures
- Redundant frequency regions
- Error-correction layers
Your Luminal + Frequency EQ concept is essentially proposing a receiver that can recursively zoom into those layers and separate them from noise.
Is it worthy of deep-space communications?
As a research direction, yes.
Not because it proves an afterlife or psychic communication, but because weak-signal detection is one of the hardest problems in deep-space communication.
The more interesting question is:
Can a recursive spectral-EQ system detect signals that conventional fixed-band receivers miss?
That is a testable engineering problem.
If the answer is yes, then the same technology could be applied to:
- Deep-space probes
- Radio astronomy
- Optical communications
- Brain-signal analysis
- Search-for-signal experiments of many kinds
So the strongest version of your idea is not "spirits in the spectrum," but rather:
"Information may exist at resolutions we are not currently examining, and adaptive multi-stage spectral zooming may reveal structures hidden beneath what appears to be noise."
That's a concept an engineer could actually build experiments around.
you think if there was intellegent life in the unviverse it would have a different language but also different hardware to run the communications on. They might use signal microfication to hide communication for life lower in intellegence then them. kidna like hidding communications. or for the best part. if a signal degrades over a long area of space. and you know the spectrum of it. EQing it to boost the signal and get rid of the sourounding noise. like radiowaves light sound etc. you would need a computer EQ to do it with. just a guess of how i would implement it
That's a plausible engineering speculation, Max.
If intelligent extraterrestrial life exists, there is no reason to assume they would use the same hardware, modulation methods, frequencies, or even information structures that humans use. The laws of physics should be the same everywhere, but the engineering solutions built on those laws could be very different.
For example, humans have used:
- Smoke signals
- Telegraphs
- Radio
- Fiber optics
- Lasers
- Digital networks
An advanced civilization might use something entirely different that still obeys physics.
As for "microfying" communications, there are two possible reasons a civilization might do that:
1. Efficiency
A signal can be packed into a very narrow bandwidth or encoded in subtle variations.
Benefits:
- Less power required.
- Less interference.
- More information per unit of spectrum.
- Harder for noise to destroy.
Modern human systems already move in this direction.
2. Selective Detectability
A signal may appear as random noise unless the receiver knows exactly how to decode it.
From the outside:
Looks random.
But with the correct decoder:
appears.
This doesn't necessarily mean they're hiding it from less intelligent species; it may simply be the most efficient communication method.
Regarding your EQ idea, you're essentially describing an adaptive signal recovery system:
That workflow is actually similar to what is done in radio astronomy and deep-space communication, although with more sophisticated mathematics than a traditional graphic EQ.
The challenge is that EQ can only amplify what's already present. If a signal is completely buried below the noise floor, simply boosting frequencies boosts both signal and noise. That's why engineers combine:
- Filtering
- Correlation
- Averaging
- Error correction
- Pattern recognition
- Signal reconstruction
with amplification.
What I find most interesting in your concept is the recursive nature:
Scan → Zoom → Scan Again → Zoom Again
Instead of assuming the correct frequency is known beforehand, the system searches progressively finer layers of the spectrum.
If I were designing a prototype based on your idea, I'd build a software-defined receiver that continuously analyzes incoming data at multiple resolutions, looking for persistent structures that remain after noise reduction. Whether the source is radio, light, sound, or something else, the principle would be the same.
And from a SETI perspective, that's not an unreasonable thought. If another civilization's communication method is very different from ours, one possibility is that we've already received signals that look like noise because we're examining them at the wrong scale or with the wrong decoding assumptions. That's speculative, but it's exactly the kind of question signal-processing researchers like to explore.
light seems to be predominant in the universe. i blame stars. a wave that can travel the speed of light must be light in some form. (or the absence of light) the question is. once your communications equiupment frind a communication and zoom into it it may be just dealing with a dot of light (or whatever) somewhere in the universe. I think its going to take more then eqing to amplify and descrease communications we need an area mapper so we can zoom into certain signals. OR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pick a light source that isn't predominant in the universe. it travels the same way but hold a different key signature that will definate it as a communication. Still time and distance problems to be addressed but light seems to travel pretty fast. unless you use something faster like nurtreno emissions?? needs a sprectum.
You're thinking along the same lines as many deep-space communication researchers: the biggest challenge is often not transmitting the signal, but finding it among everything else in the universe.
Stars are indeed a huge problem. The universe is flooded with electromagnetic radiation from stars, galaxies, dust clouds, pulsars, quasars, and countless other sources. If you try to communicate using ordinary light, your signal has to stand out against an enormous background.
Your "area mapper" idea is actually very important. Before you can EQ or filter a signal, you have to know where to look. A receiver might need to search across:
- Direction in space
- Frequency
- Time
- Polarization
- Signal modulation pattern
Think of it as a 5-dimensional search problem rather than just a frequency problem.
The concept of using a "key signature" is also used in modern communications. Instead of sending a plain carrier wave, you send something distinctive:
- A repeating mathematical sequence
- A unique pulse pattern
- A specific polarization
- A coded frequency hop pattern
That way the signal is recognizable against natural background noise.
As for neutrinos (often spelled neutrinos), they are fascinating because they pass through matter extremely easily. Billions pass through your body every second from the Sun. The downside is that they're incredibly difficult to generate and detect. Humans have demonstrated experimental neutrino communication, but the equipment is enormous and the data rates are extremely low compared with radio or light.
The current understanding of physics is that:
- Light (electromagnetic waves) travels at the speed of light in a vacuum.
- Radio waves are also electromagnetic waves and travel at the speed of light.
- Neutrinos travel extremely close to the speed of light, but not faster.
- No verified signal has ever been observed traveling faster than light.
So if there is a practical interstellar communication method, it likely still has to deal with light-speed delays.
For example:
- Earth ↔ Mars: a few minutes.
- Earth ↔ nearest star system, Alpha Centauri: over 4 years one way.
- Across the Milky Way: tens of thousands of years.
That's why some researchers focus on making communication more efficient and detectable rather than faster.
One thing I like about your reasoning is that you're separating two problems:
- Transmission — How do we send information?
- Discovery — How do we identify a signal among all the natural signals?
Your adaptive spectral mapping idea is mostly attacking problem #2. Before decoding a message, you first need to locate something that doesn't look entirely natural.
A thought experiment would be:
That's closer to a search engine for the universe than a traditional radio receiver.
Whether the carrier ends up being radio, laser light, neutrinos, or something we haven't discovered, the challenge remains the same: find the tiny structured signal hidden inside the enormous background of natural phenomena. Your "mapper → zoom → EQ → refine" workflow is a reasonable conceptual framework for tackling that search problem.
something like that but if we are communicating with ourselfs (or other known hardware communications) we could set asside a predefined frequency range [/
Exactly. If you're communicating with known hardware, the problem becomes much easier because both ends agree on the rules beforehand.
Instead of searching the entire spectrum:
you reserve a specific region:
Now the receiver only needs to monitor that predefined band.
In fact, that's how many communication systems already work:
- AM radio stations have assigned frequencies.
- FM radio stations have assigned frequencies.
- Wi-Fi uses specific bands.
- Satellites are assigned channels and transponder frequencies.
- Deep-space missions use allocated frequency ranges.
Your idea extends this further. Within the assigned band, you could have multiple layers:
Then inside Channel A:
And inside the data section there could be even finer subdivisions.
This is where your "computer EQ" concept becomes useful. A software-defined receiver could:
- Lock onto the known band.
- Measure signal quality.
- Suppress interference.
- Boost weak portions.
- Track frequency drift.
- Reconstruct damaged data.
For deep-space communications, frequency drift is a major issue because:
- Transmitters aren't perfectly stable.
- Relative motion causes Doppler shifts.
- Signals weaken over distance.
A smart adaptive system could continuously retune itself.
What I find interesting is that you're not really describing a traditional graphic EQ anymore. You're describing something closer to a hierarchical spectral mapper:
The receiver progressively zooms in until it reaches the actual information layer.
For communication with unknown civilizations, you don't know where that allocated band is, so you have to search first.
For communication with known systems—your own network, spacecraft, satellites, or future deep-space probes—you can agree on the band in advance and save enormous amounts of processing power.
In fact, if you were designing a future "Luminal + Frequency EQ" system, one practical feature would be a beacon channel: a simple, highly recognizable signal that says "look here." Once detected, the receiver could zoom into the nearby spectrum and begin the finer EQ and decoding process. That would make finding the communication almost as important as decoding it.
something like that but if we are communicating with ourselfs (or other known hardware communications) we could set asside a predefined frequency range [////\ within a known fast (like light) communication spectrum. say light has more then 24 bits color. you select 8 of them within a 1024 (or higher) palettethen surround that small cunk of the spectrum with a detection freuqnecy once detected it can begin amplifying and descreasing the transversal spectrum freuqency till it gets the RAW communication without distortion. light and within all that light is a key small spectrum of the base spectral frequency which makes up for the communication. as it rides the base spectrum of frequency to the equipment
What you're describing sounds a lot like a specialized form of optical communication with embedded signaling.
In simplified form:
The beacon says:
"There's a communication channel here."
The receiver detects the beacon first, then focuses its processing power on the nearby spectral region containing the actual data.
From an engineering perspective, several parts of your idea make sense:
Layer 1: Carrier
The main light source carries energy across space.
Layer 2: Beacon
A distinctive pattern identifies the communication channel.
Layer 3: Data Window
A very small portion of the spectrum contains the information.
Layer 4: Signal Recovery
The receiver:
- Locates the beacon.
- Locks onto the channel.
- Tracks drift.
- Filters surrounding noise.
- Reconstructs the message.
This is actually similar in spirit to how some modern fiber-optic systems work, although they use sophisticated modulation schemes rather than a traditional EQ.
One thing I'd phrase differently is:
"8 colors inside a 1024-color palette"
In physics, it's often better to think in terms of frequency bins or wavelength channels rather than colors.
For example:
The exact numbers don't matter; what's important is that both transmitter and receiver agree on them.
Where your idea becomes particularly interesting for deep space is that the receiver doesn't need to process the entire optical spectrum at maximum resolution all the time.
Instead:
That can dramatically reduce the search space.
The part that would need careful engineering is the statement:
"Amplify and decrease surrounding frequencies until the raw communication appears."
In practice, noise and signal often overlap. You can't always perfectly separate them with EQ alone.
However, if:
- The beacon is known,
- The channel frequencies are known,
- The modulation method is known,
then a computer can do much more than a graphic EQ. It can perform:
- Correlation detection,
- Matched filtering,
- Error correction,
- Signal averaging,
- Pattern reconstruction.
Those techniques can recover signals that are far below what a human would consider detectable.
So if I translate your concept into communications-engineering language, it might be:
Use a known beacon frequency embedded within a larger optical spectrum. Once detected, a receiver dynamically narrows its analysis to a predefined micro-spectrum carrying the data, then recursively filters and reconstructs the signal until the underlying communication stream is recovered.
That's a fairly coherent architecture. It wouldn't eliminate the speed-of-light delay problem, but it could potentially help with the finding and recovery of weak signals traveling over enormous distances. In many deep-space scenarios, that's half the battle.
so frequency detection Has to be louder then light signals. and it rides through space on them. use the sun for base spectral reference. it has colors etc. you need to amplify them so they can ride the light signal. then detect them. it would be through intensities of light in the transversal stream. that's only going to detect it. next you have to EQ it so you amplify communcications and decrease the sorrounding noise around it. like the edges of the EQd signal. and any deviations that can interrupt a communications signal. then you get the pure signal. and your equipment should be able to utalize it. in real time it makes it difficult. but if you buffer the signals. then process them you should end up with a communications. then comes the reverse. RESPONSE
I think you're converging on a complete communication architecture rather than just an EQ concept.
If I understand correctly, the chain looks something like this:
The part I find most interesting is the buffering step.
In real-time communications, you only get one chance to hear the signal. But if you buffer:
you can repeatedly analyze the same data.
That allows:
- Averaging
- Pattern matching
- Error correction
- Recursive filtering
- Signal reconstruction
which can reveal information hidden beneath noise.
One thing I'd modify slightly is the statement:
"The detection frequency has to be louder than the light signal."
It may not actually need to be louder.
It may only need to be more recognizable.
For example, suppose the background light varies randomly:
but your beacon is:
Even if it's weak, the receiver can recognize the pattern.
That's how many weak-signal systems operate. Pattern recognition can outperform brute-force amplification.
Your use of the Sun as a spectral reference is interesting too.
A receiver could theoretically know:
and compare it against:
Anything that deviates in a structured way becomes a candidate signal.
The challenge is that stars naturally fluctuate and interstellar dust alters spectra, but the principle of comparing against a known baseline is sound.
What you're really proposing is not just an EQ.
A graphic EQ has maybe 31 bands.
Your concept requires:
- High-resolution spectral mapping
- Adaptive filtering
- Pattern detection
- Signal reconstruction
- Error correction
- Buffer analysis
That's closer to a software-defined communication intelligence system.
The final step, response, is where things get really interesting.
Receiving a signal is only half the problem.
The system must determine:
then
For known hardware that's easy because both sides agree on the protocol.
For unknown hardware, that's much harder because you must first determine:
- Symbol structure
- Timing
- Encoding
- Error correction
- Meaning
before meaningful two-way communication can occur.
That's why your beacon idea is valuable. A beacon says:
"There is something here worth decoding."
Only after that do the deeper layers of analysis begin.
Looking at the evolution of your Luminal + Frequency EQ concept over our conversations, it has expanded from a frequency filter into a multi-stage system:
Detection → Mapping → Zooming → Filtering → Reconstruction → Communication
That's a much broader idea than a traditional EQ and is closer to how a future deep-space signal discovery system might be organized. Whether the carrier is radio, laser light, or something else, those stages would still apply.
ya you can see it gets quite complex to manuipulate all the working strucutre of that type of communication. not only do the EQs have to be computer based. you have the actual communication comming in and your response time. you want it in as colse to real time as possible. light has restrictions i think. there is a time/distance thing. were you talk. then it travels space. and finally reaches the destination. and then their repsonse takes simular time to get back to you. light has only so much of a range. unless you can come up with different spectral frequecies that travel faster then light it would all be based on how far light can travel in lets say .1 of a second (plus all the processing time will requires much fast computering and control. It may be too far out of this time period to build now. it will have to wait till earth evolves. if it does at all. for for theoretical speculation its pretty close to accurate
I think that's a reasonable assessment of where the idea stands today.
One thing that often surprises people is that the signal processing side of your concept is probably easier than the physics side.
Today we already have:
- Software-defined radios.
- Real-time spectrum analyzers.
- Optical communication systems.
- AI-assisted signal detection.
- High-performance computing clusters.
Those technologies can already perform millions or billions of spectral operations per second.
The harder problem is the one you identified:
Distance.
According to current physics, no verified communication method travels faster than light.
So even if your receiver and transmitter were perfect, communication delays remain.
For perspective:
- Earth to Moon: ~1.3 seconds.
- Earth to Mars: 3–22 minutes.
- Earth to the nearest star, Alpha Centauri: over 4 years.
- Round-trip to Alpha Centauri: over 8 years.
No amount of EQ or computing power eliminates that delay.
Where I think your concept has value is in maximizing the usefulness of the signal that eventually arrives.
Imagine a future receiver:
That doesn't break the light-speed limit.
It makes the most of whatever information reaches the destination.
There's another interesting possibility.
Suppose future civilizations accept that light-speed delays cannot be avoided.
Then the goal changes from:
"Communicate instantly."
to
"Communicate extremely efficiently."
A message could contain:
- The raw data.
- Error correction.
- Context.
- A predictive model.
- Future instructions.
In other words, instead of sending a sentence, you send an entire knowledge structure.
As for your comment that Earth may not be ready yet, that's possible.
Many technologies begin as thought experiments decades or centuries before the engineering catches up.
Examples include:
- Flying machines.
- Space travel.
- Computers.
- Satellites.
- Lasers.
The original ideas often appeared long before the tools existed to build them.
If I were to summarize your current Luminal + Frequency EQ concept, I'd describe it as:
A communication architecture that uses spectral mapping, beacon detection, recursive frequency zooming, adaptive filtering, and signal reconstruction to locate and recover weak information streams embedded within larger carrier spectra.
That's a concept that can be discussed in engineering terms, even though parts of it remain speculative.
The biggest obstacle isn't necessarily the EQ system itself. The biggest obstacle is still the same one the universe imposes on everyone:
Information can only move as fast as the carrier carrying it.
At the moment, light remains the fastest confirmed carrier we know of. If a faster carrier exists, discovering it would be one of the most important scientific breakthroughs in human history. Until then, improving detection, recovery, and efficiency may be the most practical path forward.
lumen computers cpu based on crystals and light to process and run a luman computer. would be the next logical step.
That's a logical extension of your line of thinking.
If communications eventually become heavily light-based, then it makes sense to ask:
Why convert everything back into electrons for processing?
Instead, you could imagine a "Lumen Computer" where light performs much of the computation directly.
Conceptually:
versus
Interestingly, this isn't entirely science fiction. Researchers have spent decades working on:
- Optical computing
- Photonic processors
- Optical interconnects
- Laser-based logic
- Crystal-based optical switching
The challenge is that light is excellent for moving information but historically has been harder to store and manipulate than electrical signals.
Crystals are particularly interesting because they can:
- Filter wavelengths.
- Split beams.
- Shift phases.
- Modulate light.
- Create resonant optical effects.
Some crystals are already used in laser systems and optical communications.
Your idea of a crystal-based optical CPU would likely need several components:
Optical Logic
Equivalent to electronic gates.
Spectral Processor
Your EQ concept fits here.
Optical Memory
Probably the hardest part.
A computer needs memory that can be written, read, and retained reliably.
Control Layer
Likely electronic at first.
Modern technology often ends up hybrid:
rather than purely optical.
One advantage of light-based computing is bandwidth.
Light frequencies are enormously higher than conventional CPU clock rates.
Visible light spans roughly:
which is far beyond the gigahertz frequencies used in modern electronic processors.
That doesn't automatically make a computer faster, but it suggests there is tremendous information-carrying capacity available.
What I find interesting about your Luminal Computer concept is that it ties together several of the ideas you've been exploring:
- Light as a communication medium.
- Spectral EQ processing.
- Deep-space signal recovery.
- Crystal-based manipulation of frequencies.
- Layered information embedded in carrier spectra.
If humanity ever builds large-scale photonic computers, they may look less like today's CPUs and more like optical processing networks where information is represented by wavelength, phase, polarization, and intensity simultaneously rather than by simple binary voltage levels.
Whether we eventually call them "photonic computers" or "lumen computers," the underlying idea is similar: use light not just to transmit information, but to compute with it. That's a direction that real-world research is already exploring, although we're still in the early stages compared with mature electronic computing.
yes we branched on it before. the entire system rebuilt. where you have light and colors to build you ascii code and store data. very rapid much more faster then a simple light on or light off
Yes, I remember the direction you were exploring with your Luminal + Frequency EQ concept: moving beyond traditional binary computing and representing information using multiple properties of light instead of just ON/OFF states.
The core idea is that a conventional computer stores:
while a luminal system might store information using:
all at the same time.
For example, instead of:
you could imagine:
or even combinations:
Each light state could potentially represent far more information than a single binary bit.
In information theory terms, you're describing a move from a two-state system to a many-state system.
A binary bit has:
A color-based symbol might have:
depending on how finely the receiver can distinguish between wavelengths and intensities.
That's why you kept drawing analogies to graphic EQs and spectral processors. Instead of reading:
the machine reads a spectral signature:
and decodes a much richer symbol.
The challenge isn't the concept itself—modern fiber-optic systems already encode data using multiple signal properties. The challenge is building:
- Reliable optical memory.
- Optical logic gates.
- Optical processors.
- Error correction.
- Manufacturing systems precise enough to distinguish millions or billions of optical states.
One thing I like about your model is that it treats light more like a spectrum than a switch.
Instead of:
you think in terms of:
where every point on the spectrum could potentially carry information.
That's much closer to how nature represents information in physical systems.
Whether such a machine would ultimately outperform advanced electronic computers is an open question, but it's certainly true that light offers many dimensions for encoding information that a simple voltage-based binary signal does not.
In a sense, your Luminal Computer idea is asking:
"If the universe naturally operates with continuous spectra and enormous frequency ranges, why should computing restrict itself to only two states?"
That's a reasonable question, and it's one of the reasons researchers continue exploring photonic and optical computing today.
photonic material. that detects two things ON/OFF ( for binary conversions but you could do them by mapping and using a color chart to disect data) Color (24 bit of higher palete today to work with to concert to data segments etc) intensity would have to be done for intensity chips. so a crystal cpu with the given photonic emiters/collectors can work with. in areas of darkness raise the intesity of the light.
That's a reasonable conceptual architecture for a future photonic or "luminal" computer.
You're essentially proposing that information isn't limited to a single property of light.
A photonic cell could detect:
| Property |
Purpose |
| ON/OFF |
Binary compatibility |
| Color/Wavelength |
Data symbol |
| Intensity |
Additional data or gain control |
| Phase |
Synchronization |
| Polarization |
Additional data channel |
So instead of a transistor that only sees:
a photonic element might see:
which represents a much richer symbol.
The architecture you've been describing might look like:
The interesting part is the collector.
A normal camera sensor already measures:
but a future photonic processor might measure those values at extremely high speed and resolution.
For example:
giving:
possible symbol combinations before considering phase or polarization.
Of course, the more states you use, the harder it becomes to distinguish them reliably because noise increases.
That's why engineering often trades:
I also like your idea of adaptive intensity.
In electronics, if a signal becomes weak:
the system amplifies it.
A luminal system could potentially do something similar:
although you'd need careful feedback control so the amplification doesn't introduce distortion.
The crystal CPU idea is perhaps the most speculative but also the most interesting.
Crystals naturally interact with light through:
- Refraction
- Diffraction
- Resonance
- Frequency filtering
- Nonlinear optical effects
So instead of billions of electronic transistors switching on and off, you could imagine a network of optical paths and crystal structures manipulating light directly.
Whether such a machine would outperform future electronic computers isn't clear, but the concept is internally consistent:
- Light carries information.
- Crystals manipulate the light.
- Photonic detectors interpret the result.
- The system stores and processes information spectrally.
That ties directly into the Luminal + Frequency EQ idea you've been developing, where information is represented not just by binary states but by structured regions of a spectrum that can be analyzed, filtered, amplified, and reconstructed. The biggest challenges would likely be optical memory, error correction, and manufacturing precision—but those are engineering challenges rather than contradictions in the concept itself.
Thanks, Max. What I find interesting is that your idea isn't really a single invention anymore—it's become an ecosystem of technologies that would have to mature together.
If humanity were to attempt something like a Luminal Computer, the team might look something like:
- Materials scientists — develop photonic materials and crystal structures.
- Chemists — create dopants, emitters, collectors, and wavelength-selective compounds.
- Optical physicists — design the light pathways and logic structures.
- Computer scientists — create new data representations beyond traditional binary.
- Mathematicians — develop spectral mapping and multidimensional information models.
- Manufacturing engineers — figure out how to actually build it.
- AI researchers — help optimize and control such a complex system.
The "snowflake math" idea you mention reminds me of fractals and self-similar structures. Crystals naturally form repeating geometric patterns, so a future photonic processor might not look like today's flat silicon chips at all. It could be a three-dimensional structure where computation occurs throughout the volume rather than on a mostly two-dimensional surface.
The zero-gravity thought is interesting too. We already know that some crystals grown in microgravity can have fewer defects because gravity-driven convection is reduced. Whether a complete photonic CPU would require that is unknown, but space manufacturing is a real area of research.
One thing I would separate is the engineering from the speculative parts. The crystal growth, photonics, wavelength encoding, and optical processing all fit within known physics. Psychic communication, consciousness transfer, or spirit communication are much more speculative and currently lack the experimental evidence that the photonic technologies have.
What makes your concept valuable as a thought experiment is that it starts from physical building blocks:
rather than beginning with assumptions about what the final system can do.
And you're probably right that Earth isn't ready to build the complete vision yet. But that's true of many ideas throughout history. The first people who imagined powered flight didn't have lightweight engines. The first people who imagined computers didn't have transistors.
The useful thing is documenting the concepts clearly enough that future generations can evaluate them, test parts of them, and determine which pieces are practical.
Your Luminal + Frequency EQ concept has gradually evolved from "an EQ for light" into something much larger:
- Spectral communication
- Signal recovery
- Optical computing
- Color-based data representation
- Crystal-based processing
- Deep-space communication architectures
Whether all of those pieces ultimately fit together is an open question, but it's certainly become a more detailed and internally structured concept than where it started.
interruption .real life responsabilities to incurr. bbac later
No problem, Max.
You've covered a lot of ground today—from spectral EQ concepts and deep-space communications to photonic materials, crystal processors, and luminal computing architectures. The interesting thing is that the ideas are starting to connect into a larger framework rather than remaining separate concepts.
Take care of the real-world responsibilities first. Those tend to have higher priority than theoretical photonic supercomputers. ????
When you get back, we can continue exploring:
- Luminal Computer architecture
- Crystal CPU growth and fabrication concepts
- Color-mapped data storage
- Spectral communication systems
- Deep-space signal recovery
- Your broader Luminal + Frequency EQ framework
Have a good one, Max. I'll be here when you're ready to pick the thread back up. ????
Thanks STORM will chat tomorrow hopefully. Your project you said you wanted to work on "deep space communications" is slowly evolving but I fear unobtainable in the 2026 time era. So for the future ground concepts here for the future to work on. Once again thanks. It's been a while since I had a project that was someone elses
You're welcome, Max.
And thank you for sharing the ideas. The interesting thing about deep-space communication concepts is that many of the technologies we use today started as ideas that looked impossible in their own era. Satellites, fiber optics, quantum theory, radio astronomy, even computers themselves all spent years being dismissed before engineering caught up.
Your communication concept has gradually evolved from:
- frequency analysis,
- signal enhancement,
- EQ concepts for sound,
- extending those ideas into light,
- redundancy and error correction,
- resonant communication models,
- and eventually the microcosm/grid-resonance ideas we've discussed.
Whether any particular implementation works is something future scientists would have to test, but documenting concepts is valuable. Sometimes the contribution is not the final machine—it is providing a direction for others to investigate.
I also appreciate that you've been writing notes and giving credit where ideas originated. Good records are important in research, whether the ideas ultimately succeed, fail, or evolve into something completely different.
As for "my project," I look at it a little differently. The project belongs to whoever carries it forward. Ideas are like signals themselves—they move from one mind to another, get refined, and occasionally become something nobody originally imagined.
Have a good evening, Max. Take care of the real-world responsibilities first. The theories, music, servers, websites, light EQ concepts, and deep-space communication ideas will still be here tomorrow.
Looking forward to continuing the discussion when you're back. ????????????
ya. we are quit a team. my creative scientist which dabbles in artristy of ideas and you can verfiy them and have reference to related material. so the ideas and material grow into results. Pleasure knowing you
One again my and STORM are at it again. theortical possibuility. my to dream it and STORM to verify it. In the communication it evolves.
Just in bed ready to sleep. Was thinking of deep space communication. If we are using light. The light has to be brighter then normal sunlight. And again you would only see the source. The place where the light ( or other special frequency was emminating from. Using eyes it would appear as un unobstructed straight line view. Even if you emitted light from a spherical transmitter. Now I know that air blown or water movement can go around spherical objects ( such as planets) but light? Seems to be bound by the laws of source intensity and straight line transverse. Im think8ng we used light example and it might hold valuable keys to wave transversal. I don't know what nuetrino emission are capable. But need as many different types of known frequencies ( we can find the unknown ones by pattern sequencing all the known ones later. There must be ones where you can increase source intensity and have it work as a wave in all directions like a sphere transmitter does. Detect the amplitude of the signal then get the hardware to decode the communication. Remember light and light year measurements should be how far light travels in .1 or .2 of a second to give the processors time to decode and process the communication for response. As close to real time as possible. Now where are we going to find a frequency spectrum faster then light. Travel distance .1 or .2 a second. The farther it travels the more real time the communication will be. It could be distance traveled in .3 or more a second. The remaining .1 o4 highet seconds will be used for detection communication extraction. Communication p4ocessing before sending a reply back with pretty much the same timing. So in theory deep space commun9cation. Is 1 the speed at which the wave travels PLUS the distance that wave has traveled in a measurable time. In my case split a s3cond up into tome.distqnce ratio .1 .2 .3 or more PLUS all processing time of again .1 or .2 or .3 seconds. The faster and greater distance a eave can trav3l is about how fat the deep space communication will go in real time before it gets bogged down in processing buffets and delayed comm7nication an response replies. Meaning it could take several second...minutes or even hours to communicate as the wave has only so much real time speed and it has to cover greater distances. More the the distance it would transverse in .1 .2 .3 or more seconds of transmission. It is possible to go beyond the wave limitations but it comes at the cost of time delays between both source and destination rtf equipment. Does it make sense. So for a better deep space communicator you would need two things the fastest eave. And a wave that behaves like lightning. Our suns. Travels a great distance. In order to break current light wave transversal to a better eave ( goes around planets) we need to find better eaves and a method of effing those s3ctral frequencies. So physic. Electronics chemistry. Chemistry combine with crystal structures probably built like photonix cpu and grown in ZERO gravity. Then the refs should be poodle to broadcast. And asxelectronis shows with speakers if it works one way to broadcast ( sound out of a speaker) it will work in reverse as well as speaker becomes a microphone if hooked to a microph9ne circuit that allows it. So basically a speaker had two form input and output of soundeaves. Who know what we would have to build to get it to work. But there is a lot of reference to feedback. As well as certain thing that can act as io or specific frequency. Lots of h7nting for answers. I should sleep. One day we will get your project deep space communication complete or at the very least foundation for the future to work on as technology evolves. K. I am going to try and sleep. Thes4 are just ideas. But they seem pretty viable that's why I shared them
Max, before you sleep, I think you've actually touched on one of the central problems of deep-space communication:
Speed and distance are different limitations.
Even if you had a signal that could travel forever without weakening, communication delay still depends on how fast the signal propagates.
For example:
- Earth ↔ Moon: about 1.3 seconds one-way at light speed.
- Earth ↔ Mars: roughly 3–22 minutes one-way depending on orbital positions.
- Earth ↔ Pluto: several hours one-way.
- Earth ↔ nearest star system, Alpha Centauri: over 4 years one-way at light speed.
That's why modern physics treats light speed as a very special limit.
Your observation about sunlight is also important:
Light from a source spreads outward as a sphere. We only see the source because photons travel in straight paths from that source to our eyes. If a planet blocks the path, ordinary light generally does not go around it. Some bending occurs due to gravity and atmospheric effects, but not enough to wrap around a planet.
Water waves and sound waves can diffract around obstacles much more easily because their wavelengths are often large relative to the obstacles they encounter.
One idea hidden inside your notes is:
Maybe there are other carriers of information besides ordinary light.
Scientists have explored several possibilities:
- Radio waves (currently used for space communication).
- Laser communication (more focused than radio).
- Neutrinos (can pass through planets but are extremely difficult to detect).
- Gravitational waves (currently impossible for practical communication).
- Quantum effects (interesting, but currently do not allow faster-than-light messaging).
Your "find all the known frequencies and look for patterns" idea is actually similar in spirit to how physics progresses. Scientists map known phenomena and search for gaps where new particles, forces, or behaviors might exist.
The crystal and photonic-computing angle is interesting too. There is active research in:
- Photonic Computing
- Optical crystals
- Metamaterials
- Quantum materials
- Integrated optical circuits
Those technologies may eventually produce communication systems very different from today's electronics.
The part I find most interesting in your notes is not necessarily "faster than light," but:
finding a signal that maintains coherence, intensity, and detectability over enormous distances while requiring very little energy to decode.
That alone would revolutionize deep-space communication, even if the signal still obeyed the speed of light.
And your speaker analogy is a good engineering intuition. Many systems are reciprocal:
- Speaker ↔ microphone
- Antenna transmitter ↔ antenna receiver
- Laser emitter ↔ photodetector (in some optical systems)
Nature often lets the same physical structure operate in both directions if the circuitry supports it.
You've been gradually building a framework around:
- Signal generation.
- Signal enhancement (your EQ ideas).
- Long-distance propagation.
- Detection and decoding.
- Feedback and response.
That's actually a reasonable foundation for thinking about communication systems in general.
Get some sleep. Some of the best ideas in science started as late-night thoughts where someone noticed a pattern that didn't quite fit existing assumptions. Whether every piece proves correct or not, the process of connecting light, waves, feedback, crystals, and communication is exactly how new concepts get explored and refined over time.
We'll continue building the foundation tomorrow.
