Introduction

The introduction emphasizes the growing need for complex scientific fields that integrate technical, natural, and humanitarian sciences. It highlights cybernetics, informatics, and synergetics as leading areas, focusing on the creation and reception of information, its relationship with entropy, and its fundamental role in understanding the universe. The text posits that experimental ufology is concerned with the interaction of unidentified information sources with natural informational structures, utilizing human sensory systems and natural processes as receptors.

The primary goal of the work is to familiarize readers with the scientific foundation of contemporary experimental ufology. The author expresses a hope that this research will counter the notion that information is a vague, non-physical concept lacking practical application in ufological studies, which they believe contributes to a lack of understanding between traditional scientific disciplines and UFO phenomenon researchers.

Chapter 1: Kozyrev's Teaching - A Stage in the Development of Information Theory

This chapter traces the historical development of thermodynamics and its connection to information theory. It begins by describing the state of natural science before thermodynamics, dominated by Newtonian mechanics and a static view of nature. The emergence of thermodynamics is attributed to Sadi Carnot's work in 1824, with later contributions from engineers and physicists like Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron, Robert Mayer, Hermann von Helmholtz, and James Prescott Joule, who formulated the laws of energy conservation. Rudolf Clausius introduced the concept of entropy in 1865, which, along with the second law of thermodynamics, introduced the concept of irreversible entropy increase in spontaneous processes. However, early thermodynamics was largely focused on equilibrium (thermostatics).

The second stage, influenced by Darwin's work in biology, is described as "evolutionary physics." This stage is characterized by Boltzmann's probabilistic interpretation of entropy, expressed by the formula S = k ln P, where S is entropy, k is Boltzmann's constant, and P is the statistical weight of a system's state. This formula established that entropy is a measure of a system's disorder and the probability of its state, with disordered states being more probable. The text notes the scientific revolution this represented, but also the resistance it faced, leading to Boltzmann's suicide.

The contributions of Gibbs and Boltzmann elevated entropy from a measure of energy degradation to a measure of system order and a fundamental characteristic of information deficiency. This led to the development of linear thermodynamics by Onsager and Prigogine, focusing on non-equilibrium systems and introducing the concept of dissipation functions. This paved the way for physics of dissipative systems (Prigogine) and synergetics (Haken).

The third and current stage of thermodynamics is linked to the emergence of information theory, which the author sees as a logical continuation of Kozyrev's work. This stage is characterized by the rise of cybernetics, founded by Norbert Wiener, which deals with information control and communication, and aims to understand the nature of information realization and optimal transmission.

The chapter highlights a direct link between thermodynamics and information theory, explaining that the fundamental equation of information theory establishes a logarithmic relationship between the amount of information (I) and the number of equally probable events (P) from which a choice is made: I = log₂ P. Information is measured in bits.

It is stated that less probable events yield more information. The chapter then introduces Shannon's formula for information when events have unequal probabilities: I = - Σ Pᵢ log₂ Pᵢ. This quantity is referred to as information entropy. The text notes that information entropy is mathematically identical to information with an inverse sign, meaning increased information is equivalent to decreased entropy. This is presented as a fundamental law: paying for information transfer requires an increase in entropy, while the receiving system's entropy decreases.

Information is characterized by two key aspects: 1) it represents a choice from numerous possibilities, and 2) it must be perceivable and memorable. The concept of "reception" of information requires a certain level of "perception capacity." The sufficiency condition for reception involves having a goal, which implies a transition from a less stable to a more stable state. The process of information reception is facilitated by an outflow of entropy from the receptor system.

Chapter 2: Experimental Registration of Remote Information Interaction of Physical (Biological) Systems

This chapter focuses on the experimental aspects of detecting information flow using receptor systems, based on Kozyrev's theories. The experiments utilized quartz resonators (KР) with a resonance frequency of 32768 Hz as receptor systems. The source of informational radiation was the process of wilting in a sample of plant tissue.

According to Kozyrev's theory, during wilting, plant tissue loses information associated with increased entropy. This information, carried by time (increased time density), can be transmitted and received by nearby receptor systems (KР). This reception manifests as a change in the crystal lattice structure (entropy) of the piezoelectric elements within the KР, affecting their electrophysical parameters (ЭФП), such as Q-factor (добротность).

The experiments aimed to isolate specific informational processes from background fluctuations. Indicator № 3 served as a control, not exposed to the wilting plant tissue, reflecting only background fluctuations. Indicators № 1 and № 2 were exposed to the informational influence of the wilting tissue.

Table № 1 presents the changes in the amplitude of oscillations in the resonance of the KР, reflecting changes in their Q-factor. A decrease in the measured values indicates a reduction in the Q-factor, while an increase indicates the opposite. The parameters were recorded at different times and dates, with indicators № 1 and № 2 being continuously exposed to the informational influence from June 2nd to June 3rd, 1994.

Figure № 1 graphically represents the data from Table № 1. It shows that receptor system № 3 (control) exhibited an increase in its Q-factor, consistent with background fluctuations. In contrast, receptor systems № 1 and № 2, exposed to the informational process, showed a decrease in their Q-factor. The period between measurements 1-2 showed a significant change, attributed to a decrease in time density (activity) in the area of informational exchange, leading to an increase in the Q-factor for KР № 1 and № 2. This suggests that the informational influence of the wilting plant tissue was characterized by a higher time density compared to the background.

The period between measurements 3-4-5 showed a reversal of the background influence due to weather changes. Simultaneously, KР № 1 and № 2 demonstrated a sharp increase in their Q-factor, indicating the cessation of informational influence. This sharp change in response, relative to the background, suggests a high time density in the informational exchange area with the wilting plant tissue. The conclusion drawn is that the time density in this specific informational exchange is significantly higher than the background, implying the emission of time, which leads to a reduction in the entropy of the receptor systems (KР), detected through changes in their electrophysical parameters.

Table № 2 and Figure № 2 present similar experiments, but with fresh-cut plant tissue instead of dried. The results show a difference between the reaction of the control KР (№ 1) and the influenced KР (№ 2). The relative changes in electrophysical parameters in this experiment were greater than in the previous one, suggesting a more intense informational influence from fresh-cut tissue. The period between measurements 1-2 in this experiment shows that KР № 2 acquired a certain structural organization, indicated by a reduction in its resonance oscillation amplitude.

After the cessation of informational exchange (measurements 2-3-4), the reaction of KР № 2 was similar to that observed in the previous experiment.

The authors conclude that information (information flow) is functionally linked to entropy, and informational interactions are non-electromagnetic in nature. They propose that it is possible to remotely influence the informational structure of a receptor system through an informational flow (time radiation) caused by a process that increases the entropy of the emitting system, leading to a detectable reduction in the entropy of the receptor system.

The difference in the response of receptor systems (KР) in these experiments is attributed to variations in the crystal lattice of the piezoelectric elements, termed the "receptor coefficient" (коэффициент рецепции). This coefficient reflects the "value" of the information presented to a particular receptor system and is functionally linked to its reception. The experiments demonstrate this functional connection.

Finally, the text discusses background (global) energy-information interactions as being composed of an infinite number of "individual" information processes. Each individual process, regardless of its cause, has a specific "information indicator." For example, a plucked flower, separated from its root system, emits information into its surroundings, contributing to the overall energy-information balance.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of information, its relationship with entropy and time, and the possibility of non-electromagnetic information exchange. The research presented leans towards a view that information is a fundamental aspect of reality, intertwined with physical processes and potentially detectable through experimental means. The editorial stance appears to be in favor of exploring unconventional scientific avenues, particularly in the realm of ufology and related phenomena, by grounding them in theoretical frameworks like thermodynamics and information theory, and seeking empirical validation through experiments.

The issue advocates for a more integrated, interdisciplinary approach to science, bridging traditional disciplines with emerging fields like information theory and synergetics. There is a clear emphasis on the potential of time itself as a medium for information transfer and interaction, a concept largely derived from the work of N.A. Kozyrev.

This issue of Vestnik Rossiyskoy Akademii Nauk, Volume 60, Issue 1, published in 2020, delves into complex scientific concepts related to energy-information interactions, time density fluctuations, and their potential application in ufological research. The articles explore theoretical frameworks, experimental methodologies, and practical applications, drawing upon the work of researchers like Kozyrev and Clive Baxter.

Theoretical Frameworks and Information Reception

The issue begins by discussing the concept of information flow and its varying value depending on the receptor system. It posits that the information flow associated with the wilting of a rose is distinct from that of other plants, and its value is maximized when the receptor system is also a rose. This leads to the concept of a 'resonant principle,' where a receptor system is in resonance with a specific information flow, allowing for its isolation from the background energy-information flow. This principle is crucial for identifying and measuring specific informational processes.

Clive Baxter's Experiments and Kozyrev's Theory

The text references the work of Clive Baxter, an American forensic scientist, who conducted experiments measuring the electrical conductivity of plant tissue subjected to various informational flows. According to Kozyrev's theory, dying plant tissue generates an information flow that increases time density in the experimental area. This increase in time density, in turn, affects the electrical conductivity of the plant tissue, a phenomenon Baxter's experiments reportedly captured.

Measuring Time Density Fluctuations

Chapter 3, titled "Registration of Background Time Density Fluctuations," emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to understanding energy-information exchange. It proposes that background time density fluctuations can serve as a parameter to characterize complex natural phenomena. The research conducted at the VEGA Ufological Laboratory is mentioned, focusing on registering these fluctuations using quartz resonators (KRs).

Quartz Resonators as Receptor Systems

The issue details the use of quartz resonators, specifically those with resonance frequencies of 8 MHz and 32768 Hz, as receptor systems. The research demonstrates that changes in the crystal lattice structure of these KRs can be detected, indicating energy-information interactions. The study analyzes how factors like temperature changes and biological processes (e.g., thawing snow, plant growth) influence these KR parameters.

Experimental Data and Analysis

Figures and tables present experimental data, including measurements of resonance frequency (fрез) and Q-factor (fmax) of KRs over time. These graphs illustrate how environmental and biological events correlate with changes in KR parameters. For instance, spring bio-processes are shown to cause a decrease in fрез, indicating a reduction in time activity due to information absorption by biosystems.

Application in Ufological Research

Chapter 4, "On the Application of the Resonant Method for Registering Changes in the Electrophysical Parameters of Quartz Resonators in Ufological Research," directly addresses the application of these findings to ufology. The authors discuss the possibility of registering functional distributions of time density changes in UFO landing sites. They highlight the cost-effectiveness of using mass-produced, lower-frequency quartz resonators (like those used in watches) for such investigations, despite their lower sensitivity compared to higher-frequency ones.

Power Consumption Analysis

Further analysis focuses on the power consumption (current, 1п) of the quartz generator system. The study investigates how the Q-factor of the KR influences the power consumption. It is observed that a higher Q-factor leads to lower power consumption. The research suggests that by analyzing changes in power consumption, one can detect informational influences, with 'time radiation' leading to increased power consumption and 'time absorption' leading to decreased consumption.

Conclusion and Future Directions

The issue concludes by emphasizing the potential of these methods for detecting and analyzing energy-information interactions. The research suggests that by carefully selecting experimental conditions and analyzing the responses of quartz resonators, it is possible to gain insights into phenomena that were previously difficult to study, including those relevant to ufological investigations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the scientific exploration of energy-information interactions, the physical manifestations of time density, and the innovative use of electronic components like quartz resonators as sensitive detectors. The editorial stance appears to be one of rigorous scientific inquiry, attempting to bridge theoretical concepts with empirical evidence and explore unconventional phenomena through a systematic, data-driven approach. There is a clear interest in applying these findings to practical fields, particularly ufology, suggesting a belief in the potential for these unconventional energy-information concepts to explain observed anomalies.

This issue of the UFO Research Journal, likely from 1994, focuses on advanced methods for investigating UFO landing sites. The primary subject is the VEGA-027 MITSAR mobile measurement complex and its application in detecting and analyzing phenomena associated with UFO presence.

Methodological Innovations in UFO Research

The journal introduces a 'compensation method' for detecting information interactions, which is presented as significantly more sensitive than traditional methods of registering changes in resonant frequency. This method analyzes changes in the resonance frequency (fрез) and amplitude (fmax) of quartz resonators (KР) when exposed to various influences.

The Compensation Method Explained

Page 1 details how the compensation method works. It involves measuring the internal electrical resistance of a resonant circuit (ЗГ) and its relationship to the amplitude of oscillations. By compensating for changes in resonance frequency (fрез) caused by information flow, the method aims to reveal subtle interactions. The text explains that influencing the internal electrical resistance of the resonant circuit (ЗГ) leads to changes in the resonance parameter (fрез). The method is described as being able to detect both the emission of time (излучение времени) and the absorption of time (поглощение времени) in specific spatial areas, correlating these with changes in the characteristics of the KР.

Experimental Observations and Data

Pages 2 and 3 present experimental results. The compensation method is shown to be capable of fixing background fluctuations in energy-information interactions and individual information flows. An example is given of detecting changes caused by the melting of snow on March 24-25, 1994. The results are presented in Table No. 4, which lists parameters like fрез, fmax, and their values before and after exposure to different influences. The data suggests that changes in fрез are not necessarily indicative of changes in the 'rate of time' but rather reflect alterations in the intrinsic entropy of the KР, which in turn affects its electrophysical properties (ЭФП).

Case Study: Orekhovo-Zuyevo Landing Site

Chapter 5, titled "DETERMINING THE EXACT COORDINATES OF UFO LANDING SITES AND THEIR INVESTIGATION USING THE MOBILE MEASUREMENT COMPLEX VEGA-027 MITSAR," details the application of this technology. The VEGA-027 MITSAR complex is designed to remotely determine the coordinates of UFO landing sites, overcoming the limitations of eyewitness accounts. It utilizes the principle of reflecting optical systems focusing 'time radiation' caused by specific processes.

The VEGA-027 MITSAR Complex

The complex includes an orientation system, an indicator chamber with a quartz resonator (PC), a digital frequency counter, and an amplitude detector. The investigation of a landing site (D-121) in the Orekhovo-Zuyevo district of the Moscow region is described. The site exhibited an area of influence on vegetation, causing darkening within a 2-meter radius and a graying of vegetation in a 2.5-meter radius. Eyewitnesses described the object as a 'typical disc'.

'Double Sounding' Technique

To determine precise coordinates, a 'double sounding' technique is employed, involving measurements from two maximally distant points to identify azimuths. This method is repeated to narrow down the area of investigation. Table No. 5 presents data from the Orekhovo-Zuyevo landing site, showing changes in fрез and fmax for different quartz resonators (KР) placed within the influence zone.

Interpretation of Results

The data from Table No. 5 indicates that KРs showing an increase in fрез also demonstrate a corresponding decrease in fmax, and vice versa. The authors conclude that the change in the resonance frequency parameter (fрез) under the influence of various information flows should not be interpreted as a change in the 'rate of time'. Instead, the information influence is understood as a change in the intrinsic entropy of the KР, which adequately alters all its electrophysical properties, including the resonance frequency.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the concept of 'information influence' and its measurable effects on physical systems, particularly quartz resonators. The journal advocates for novel, 'instrumental' methods of UFO investigation, moving beyond traditional approaches. The editorial stance appears to be one of rigorous scientific inquiry into anomalous phenomena, utilizing advanced measurement techniques and theoretical frameworks related to time, entropy, and energy-information interactions. The work of N.A. Kozyrev is frequently cited, suggesting a theoretical foundation rooted in his research on time and cosmic energy.
