Introduction (Введение)

The introduction poses a fundamental question about how plants, like rose bushes, develop protective structures such as thorns, suggesting that this information about potential threats (animals) is somehow acquired. It posits that this information transfer occurs via an informational channel not explained by Darwinian theory. The author notes that this topic is largely overlooked by natural scientists but is of immense importance to information theory, particularly its avant-garde field, non-electromagnetic cybernetics. The work aims to address this crucial problem.

Chapter 1: Informational Unity of the Universe (Глава 1. Информационное единство мироздания)

This chapter argues that information is a fundamental aspect of the universe, extending beyond the narrow definition of 'knowledge'. It discusses Claude Shannon's probabilistic formula for entropy, adapted from thermodynamics, as a tool for measuring information. The author suggests that information is as vital as matter and energy, and that understanding the universe through information-entropy connections is essential. This perspective is presented as a paradigm shift that could revolutionize many scientific fields.

The text highlights the importance of considering the 'value' of information, not just its measurement. It proposes that the non-electromagnetic component of information theory is key to a comprehensive understanding of information-entropy connections. The author explains that Shannon's approach focuses on the unexpectedness of information for measurement, abstracting away from its meaning. Non-electromagnetic cybernetics also initially focuses on the reception of information rather than its 'meaning'. This approach is deemed necessary to avoid immediate engagement with concepts that are not yet understood.

The concept of 'value' and 'meaning' of information is linked to the 'reception' or 'assimilation' by a receptor. While this might seem subjective, the author suggests it hides fundamental laws. The process of sorting non-electromagnetic information based on maximal reception is likened to sorting frequencies of electromagnetic signals. Shannon's theory, in principle, doesn't assess information value or meaning, prioritizing objective, mathematical properties. This abstraction, however, enabled the global application of information-entropy relations to all forms of information in nature.

Discussion on Non-Electromagnetic Information and Determinism

The text further explores the concept of determinism, defining a deterministically determined system as one where everything is predetermined. Studying such systems allows for prediction and comparison with empirical data. Examples like dissolving sugar in water or the Sun-Earth system are cited as deterministic. The author links determinism to the increase of entropy in spontaneous processes, as per the second law of thermodynamics. However, he also emphasizes the importance of determinism in anti-entropic processes, such as the emergence of complexity from simplicity.

The author is particularly interested in non-electromagnetic information flows that are characteristic of situations where systems exhibit self-organization and create new, more complex forms, seemingly defying the 'hopelessness' of deterministic systems. This is attributed to open systems exchanging matter, energy, and information with their environment, especially non-electromagnetic information. Biological structures are described as 'feeding' on negative entropy, which is a direct consequence of absorbing non-electromagnetic information. This is presented as evidence for the existence of non-electromagnetic information exchange.

Evolution and Information

The work touches upon Darwin's theory of evolution, framing it as a mechanism for the improvement of biological species. It suggests that this evolutionary biology paved the way for a generalized mechanism of anti-entropic interactions in non-living nature. The creation of a new field, non-electromagnetic cybernetics, is presented as a significant step. Its primary task is not just quantitative assessment but qualitative evaluation of information, specifically its 'value'. The author questions the role of information value in biological structuring and whether similar analogies exist in non-living nature.

Examples of biological evolution show a reduction in information possessed by certain structures (e.g., cave-dwelling animals losing sight), which seems to contradict the general trend. This is linked to changes in information reception parameters, dependent on information 'value'. This law is stated to apply to both non-electromagnetic and electromagnetic information exchange in living organisms.

Non-Living Nature and Information

The text then shifts to consider non-living nature, questioning if analogies to the structuring processes that overcome entropy exist there. The universe's expansion and the second law of thermodynamics suggest a 'heat death' scenario. However, the observed reality is different. The example of dissolving sugar in water is revisited, where the process generates non-electromagnetic information that reduces the entropy of surrounding matter. The author extrapolates this to the universe, suggesting that the total information in the universe is indestructible and compensates for entropy growth, implying the universe is eternal.

Gravitational forces are proposed to be a form of non-electromagnetic information exchange. The formation of celestial bodies and nuclear processes are influenced by gravity, which counteracts entropy. The author suggests that the energy for these processes might originate from the gravitational field itself, acting as a non-electromagnetic information exchange that replenishes losses.

Future Research and Human Information

The author encourages readers to engage in theoretical research to discover more instances of non-electromagnetic information exchange, develop methods for its detection, and explore potential technological applications. The potential for these technologies to revolutionize human knowledge is highlighted.

Humans are presented as an integral part of nature, structured by the same laws as biological species, and thus participating in information processes. The unique aspect of human information, consciousness, is noted as the highest achievement of biological evolution. The text briefly touches upon 'artistic information' as a product of human intellect, stating that information's value increases with its unexpectedness. However, assessing the 'aesthetic value' and 'intuitive information' of humans is deemed beyond the scope of this work.

Finally, the document acknowledges the complexity of non-electromagnetic communication channels in humans. It states that humans, like other biological structures, produce negative entropy, with excess being expelled into the environment. This expulsion is characterized not as a positive societal trait but as pollution, contaminating the environment.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes include the fundamental nature of information, the existence and importance of non-electromagnetic information exchange, the interplay between information and entropy, and the application of information theory to diverse phenomena from biology to cosmology. The editorial stance is one of advocating for a paradigm shift in scientific understanding, emphasizing the need to explore and integrate the concept of non-electromagnetic information exchange into mainstream scientific thought, particularly within the framework of cybernetics and information theory.

This document, likely an issue of a scientific or technical journal, focuses on the complex and often controversial field of subtle, non-electromagnetic interactions. It presents research and theoretical frameworks aimed at understanding and measuring these phenomena, which are posited to be distinct from electromagnetic forces.

Chapter 2: Application of a Non-Electromagnetic Information Influence Generator for Studying Subtle Interactions

The text begins by framing the study of subtle interactions within the broader context of humanity's need to achieve unity with the natural world, suggesting that new knowledge and experience are crucial for this endeavor. It introduces the concept of an 'information-entropy balance' that society needs to align with biological nature.

The core of the discussion revolves around the problem of 'subtle interactions,' a field pioneered by N.A. Kozyrev. The author notes that this area of research divides the scientific community, with skeptics and staunch opponents offering various arguments. The term 'subtle' itself is described as encompassing the complexity and ambiguity of this scientific direction. The difficulty in proving the existence of these interactions stems from the extremely small magnitudes of changes in measurable parameters, their unpredicthentability, and lack of consistent repeatability. These challenges are attributed to the need to register insignificant intensity impacts from background fluctuations and irreversible processes.

Challenges in Measuring Subtle Interactions

Experiments in this field require not only meticulous measurements and scientific integrity but also exceptional experimental skill and intuition. The author criticizes the official scientific stance, which often dismisses such findings as 'thermal noise.' A key point is made about the relationship between thermal (electromagnetic) and subtle (non-electromagnetic) interactions, both being linked to entropy changes and sharing a common informational nature. However, the author argues that attempts to isolate subtle interactions by eliminating thermal influences might inadvertently discard the very phenomena being studied.

The Active Registration Method

To overcome the limitations of 'passive registration' (traditional methods), the document proposes an 'active method' of investigation. This approach involves generating non-electromagnetic information streams and observing their effects. The research draws inspiration from studies of UFO landing sites, where 'powerful' informational structures of apparent non-electromagnetic origin were detected. The goal is to develop 'non-electromagnetic generators' that can create and manipulate these information streams.

The NGK-VEGA Device and Dissipative-Relaxation Effect

The author describes the development of a device named 'NGK-VEGA' over the past decade, designed to generate non-electromagnetic information. Experimental results with NGK-VEGA are reported to have exceeded expectations, indicating a powerful potential for influencing matter and causing significant entropy changes. The device was found to interact with background fluctuations, enabling the registration of these subtle influences. This interaction led to the identification of the 'dissipative-relaxation effect.'

This effect is characterized by changes in the parameters of the NGK-VEGA generator when it is influenced by non-electromagnetic information streams. The magnitude of these changes is related to the intensity and sign (emission or absorption) of the information stream. The research suggests that the generator's 'dissipative-relaxation level' (DRU) influences the extent of these changes.

Experimental Evidence: Sugar Dissolution and Crystallization

Experiments were conducted using the dissolution and crystallization of sugar in water as a model process to generate and study information streams. The dissolution process was observed to emit information, while crystallization absorbed it. The NGK-VEGA device was used to register these processes at different DRU levels. Table 1 and Figure 1 illustrate that higher DRU values resulted in more significant relative changes in the generator's parameters, indicating a stronger response to the information streams.

Specifically, the dissolution of 30g of sugar crystals in water produced a relative change of 0.033 at the highest tested DRU. The experiment demonstrated that the NGK-VEGA could register both the emission of information during dissolution and the absorption during crystallization. The effect of saturation was observed, where the generator's needs for information absorption during crystallization were met by the generated information, suggesting a fundamental insight into the formation of the informational indicator of space.

Atmospheric Phenomena and Information Streams

The active registration method was also applied to atmospheric phenomena, specifically thunderstorms. In the summer of 1995, the laboratory registered non-electromagnetic information influences associated with two thunderstorm formations. Figure 2 and Table 2 show that these atmospheric events emit non-electromagnetic information, with the intensity of the information being dependent on the intensity of the atmospheric phenomenon. The data suggests a significant increase in the informational content of the environment during these events.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this document are the existence and study of non-electromagnetic interactions, the development of new experimental methodologies (specifically the active registration method), and the potential implications for understanding fundamental physics and natural phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be in favor of pursuing research into these unconventional areas, advocating for the development of new theoretical frameworks and experimental tools to explore phenomena that challenge current scientific paradigms. The document emphasizes the importance of rigorous experimentation and the potential for groundbreaking discoveries in this field.

This document appears to be a segment from a scientific or technical magazine, focusing on research into non-electromagnetic (NI) information and its effects. The content delves into experimental findings related to NI potential, entropy, and the influence of various processes on these properties, particularly concerning water and radioactive decay.

NI Potential and Water Experiments The text discusses experiments investigating the non-electromagnetic informational potential (NI potential) of water. It highlights that NI potential can be influenced by electromagnetic information, leading to a decrease in NI potential in the surrounding space. A table (Table N 2) shows relative changes in the controlled parameter GNI (Z) under the influence of thunderstorm atmospheric phenomena.

The researchers also managed to record non-electromagnetic informational potentials of water subjected to boiling using different methods. Water was chosen as a detector substance due to its widespread presence. Experiments involved subjecting water to physical processes like boiling (on a gas stove, in an electric kettle, and in a microwave oven) for 12 hours prior to measurement. The NI potential was then compared to that of untreated water from the same source.

Table N 3 presents the results, showing relative changes in GNI (Z) for water subjected to different boiling methods. Notably, water boiled in a microwave oven showed the most significant decrease in NI potential (964.9% relative to the control), suggesting a potentially negative impact on human health due to increased entropy. Boiling with a gas stove resulted in a 281.1% increase, and an electric kettle in a 191.9% increase, relative to the control.

The mechanism proposed for the negative impact of "processed" water is that the human body would have to transfer NI to the water to equalize potentials, leading to an increase in the body's entropy and a decrease in biological activity.

Further investigations explored how NI saturation changes over time. The changes in NI potential, whether increasing or decreasing, follow a dissipation function dependent on time. The greater the deviation of a substance's NI potential from the background, the more intense its change over time towards the background parameter.

The study concludes that the NI influence on water from a microwave oven is significantly more potent than previously thought, increasing the danger of its consumption.

Control of Random Processes with Non-Electromagnetic Information

Flicker Noise and NI Influence The document then shifts to discussing the control of random processes using non-electromagnetic informational influence, specifically focusing on "flicker noise" (1/f noise). The NGK-VEGA generator is introduced as a device capable of emitting or absorbing non-electromagnetic information, thereby altering the entropy of nearby substances.

Experiments utilized a low-frequency generator based on an MP102 transistor, developed by Alexander Georgievich Parkhomov, a pioneer in flicker noise research. It was observed that in the presence of NI emission by the VEGA device, the signal dispersion significantly decreased. Conversely, when the device absorbed NI, the dispersion of the 1/f noise signal increased. This phenomenon is explained in terms of information theory, relating changes in dispersion to changes in entropy and information content.

Figures (Рисунок № 3 and Рисунок № 4) illustrate the speed of count and standard deviation of measurements, showing how NI emission and absorption affect the flicker noise system. Table 4 summarizes averaged data, correlating signal count and standard deviation with NI emission and absorption.

Control of Radioactive Decay

A particularly significant application discussed is the control of radioactive decay processes using non-electromagnetic informational influence. The experiments aimed to demonstrate that changes in radioactive decay rates could be induced without any known electromagnetic cause. These changes, measured in tens of percent, are attributed to alterations in the dispersion of the output parameter, reflecting changes in entropy and organization of the system.

Experiments involved using Geiger counters or semiconductor detectors with radioactive sources (e.g., Americium-241, Cobalt-60) and applying NI influence from the NGK-VEGA generator for 15-20 minutes. The data, recorded over 6-8 hours, showed significant deviations in the count rate and standard deviation during periods of NI influence, even visible without averaging.

Figure 5 (Рисунок № 5) displays a graph of count rate over time, clearly showing a dip in the rate during the period of NI emission by the NGK-VEGA device.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance The recurring themes in this document are the existence and measurable effects of non-electromagnetic information (NI) and its influence on physical systems, particularly water and radioactive decay. The research suggests that NI can alter entropy, a fundamental concept in thermodynamics and information theory. The authors present these findings as a significant departure from traditional scientific understanding, implying the reality of subtle (non-electromagnetic) interactions. The editorial stance appears to be one of presenting novel, potentially paradigm-shifting research, emphasizing the experimental evidence and its implications for fields ranging from cybernetics to fundamental physics.

This issue of "Nauka i Religiya" (Science and Religion) from 1999, Issue 1, delves into complex scientific concepts, particularly focusing on non-electromagnetic information (NEI) and its interaction with physical processes, especially radioactive decay. The publication appears to be from Russia, given the language and publisher.

Experimental Investigations of Non-Electromagnetic Information

The core of the issue presents detailed experimental data and analysis concerning the influence of NEI on random processes, specifically radioactive decay. The experiments involved using a Geiger counter (STS-6) with a beta source (60Co) and a semiconductor detector (DKPS) with an alpha source (239Pu).

Figure 6 and Table 5 illustrate experiments with the beta source. The data shows the standard deviation of count rates and the ratio of the averaged standard deviation to the theoretical Poisson distribution value. When exposed to NEI from a device labeled НГК-ВЕГА (likely a non-electromagnetic generator), there were observable changes in these parameters. Specifically, during periods of NEI influence (labeled "излучение" - radiation/emission and "поглощение" - absorption), the standard deviation and its ratio to the Poisson value changed, indicating a deviation from purely random behavior. The text suggests that the influence of NEI leads to a decrease in the dispersion of count rates, characterizing a change in the system's state towards lower entropy and greater organization.

Figure 7 and Table 6 present similar experiments, but the text on page 2 refers to a different setup involving a beta decay process and a device labeled НГК-ВЕГА. The data in Table 6 shows average count rates and standard deviations. The text discusses how the system's state changes, moving towards a less probable state, implying increased organization. It highlights the connection between the entropic-informational theory of information and its non-electromagnetic component.

Table 7 and Figure 8 describe experiments with an alpha decay process using a semiconductor detector and an alpha source (239Pu). Again, the data shows variations in average count rates and standard deviations when NEI is applied. The results are described as analogous to those obtained with beta decay.

Table 8 presents further averaged data, likely related to the experiments shown in Figure 8, detailing count rates and standard deviations under different conditions (background, NEI absorption, and background again).

Theoretical Implications and Concepts

The issue explores the theoretical underpinnings of these experimental findings. A significant concept discussed is the ability of individual atoms or atomic nuclei to receive (рецептировать) non-electromagnetic information. This challenges the traditional view that only structured systems can process information.

The authors propose that NEI can directly influence atomic nuclei, opening new avenues for theoretical development. The concept of entropy is re-examined, suggesting its applicability not only to macroscopic systems but also to individual atomic nuclei. The interaction is described as a potential transfer of NEI, with electrons playing a role in this process.

The 'Chronal Effect' and Quartz Resonators

A substantial portion of the article is dedicated to debunking the so-called "chronal effect." The authors argue that this effect, which supposedly relates to changes in the rate of time or duration, is a misinterpretation or fabrication. They state that significant changes in count rate dispersion occur without any discernible pattern in the count rate itself, and that the "chronal effect" is a myth. This critique is framed within the context of a commission within the Russian Academy of Sciences (РАН) that deals with pseudoscience.

Furthermore, the article discusses experiments with quartz resonators (КР) of different cuts (AT and BT). It was observed that these resonators behaved oppositely when exposed to NEI. AT-cut resonators increased their resonance frequency, while BT-cut resonators showed the opposite effect. This is attributed to the influence of NEI on the piezoelectric element of the resonator, altering its electrophysical parameters like inductance, capacitance, and resistance, thereby affecting its Q-factor and resonance frequency.

Broader Significance and Future Directions

The research suggests that the study of non-electromagnetic properties of electrons is an integral part of classical electrodynamics. The authors emphasize the need for large-scale research in this area, believing it could solve significant problems in fields such as healthcare, technology, and even anti-gravity.

Conclusion and Editorial Stance

The issue concludes by referencing the pioneering work of Nikolai Alexandrovich Kozyrev, who is credited with opening a new field of knowledge. The authors express a sense of urgency for contemporary scientists to explore these new frontiers. The overall stance of the publication appears to be one of advocating for the serious investigation of phenomena that lie outside conventional scientific paradigms, while simultaneously critiquing what it perceives as pseudoscientific claims and institutional resistance (e.g., from the РАН commission on pseudoscience).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes include the nature of non-electromagnetic information, its interaction with matter at the atomic level, the concept of entropy, and the critical evaluation of scientific claims. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry into unconventional phenomena, grounded in experimental evidence, while maintaining a rigorous scientific skepticism towards unsubstantiated theories. There is a clear advocacy for expanding the boundaries of scientific understanding beyond established electromagnetic principles.

This document is an epilogue titled "ПОСЛЕСЛОВИЕ" (Epilogue), associated with a publication that appears to be a scientific journal or magazine, given the extensive "ЛИТЕРАТУРА" (Literature) section. The issue number is indicated as "41" on page 41, and the date is "27.07.03". The primary language is Russian, and the publisher is "Наука" (Science).

Main Content: Non-Electromagnetic Information Flows and Cybernetics

The epilogue discusses the concept of non-electromagnetic information flows that permeate the space around us. These flows are generated by various processes and are absorbed by material bodies, which alters their entropy. The author suggests that an aggregate, global non-electromagnetic information index is formed by countless macro and microprocesses. Even the act of reading this text is said to contribute to altering the entropy of the surrounding space, highlighting the interconnectedness of everything.

The author proposes that the fundamental principles of "non-electromagnetic cybernetics" might represent early attempts to understand these hidden natural information processes. The path for researchers in this field is described as vast and mysterious, but it is crucial to define research directions. Medicine is presented as a prime example where understanding these flows could be revolutionary. Biological life, like any other process, involves its own non-electromagnetic information flows with specific laws. Developing mechanisms to manage these biological information flows could allow for influencing the entropy of biological tissues, potentially solving the problem of aging. The author boldly states, "The laws of non-electromagnetic cybernetics are the medicine of the future."

Antigravitation is another significant problem that the author believes cannot be solved without the application of non-electromagnetic cybernetics.

Ultimately, all these grand challenges are seen as reducible to a single superset task: the creation of a "non-electromagnetic information generator" (ГНИ). This device would be capable of generating maximally powerful non-electromagnetic information flows of diverse natures within a localized volume of space or transmitting them to a specific material body.

The text explains that a ГНИ would provide a material body with a specific, chosen non-electromagnetic information of maximum saturation. The progress in this technological area would enable the resolution of all the aforementioned problems. The "spectrum" of generated information could be anything, depending on the specific goal, whether it's reducing human organism entropy or achieving antigravitational effects. The author suggests that the transfer of non-electromagnetic information by electrons (non-electromagnetic electrodynamics) could be the key to solving these problems, which are currently beyond humanity's comprehension.

The epilogue concludes with a philosophical note: "There are many questions, and even more incorrect solutions, but 'the road is mastered by the walker'..."
