Isn’t it a pity that we cannot swap the CPU between VIC-20, C64, and C264 . I still don’t understand how Atari and Apple work, but for Vic-20 I understand the block diagram. All these computers have a lot of multiplexers. C64 was an expensive machine with quite a few ICs on the board.
So I understood that multiplexers are cheap because they have a low pin count and VIC-20 used three of them. Indeed, in the C64 I feel the need for 3 control lines to sync their m behaviour.
MOS was able to produce powerful and fast out pins, so no need for TLS chips from TI.
Custom chips could multiplex between system bus, SRAM, DRAM, VIC-II, and CPU. They would also multiplex the address for DRAM and could latch signals. So VIC could access SRAM, while the CPU could access DRAM. Interleaved access to DRAM is fast because the multiplexer interacts with DRAM and as a the last and first step internally separates the signal paths for both bus masters.
DRAM refresh is by VIC while it accesses SRAM.

“What are we looking for again?” Fallen asked Blue, they had been walking for several days now, resting every few hours due to Fallens severe injuries, which were unable to quickly heal due to his lack of food. Blue was keeping him alive but couldn’t just make protein from air.
“The spot you appeared when you got here, you don’t remember it but I do, I’ll tell you when we find it.”
“How long will that take? Chloe is probably worried.”
“Time works differently here, it's probably only been a day or two since we teleported from hell.”
“That's not an answer, Blue.”
A metallic sigh resonates through the armour “I don’t know, could be years, we have an entire moon to search.”
Fallens displeasure is visible on his face, features drawn tight. He pauses and tries, damn it he tries to remember. But nothing works, it's as if within his own mind there's a gigantic door made of pure adamantine and he’s not strong enough to break it down as a weak human… but maybe with Blue. The thought crosses his mind but he isn’t certain, nothing better to do than ask.
“Hey Blue?”
“Yes?”
“Maybe there is a way for me to remember, I’ve been trying, and I found a… door, in my mind. It's locked and there's no way I could ever break it as I am, but maybe with your help.”
“Fallen, I promised I would only link for combat, and even then its surface level, If I linked that deep I would see everything.”
“I think that's better than me disappearing for a hundred years, we just don’t tell Chloe.”
“No”
“Why?”There's a pause and the sound of an artificial breath “... You, you might get to see in my memories as well.”
“I promise I won't go peeking Blue.”
“That's not what I'm worried about, it would happen whether you wanted to or not and its just… I don’t know what that would do to your mind.”
“What do you mean?”
“Im… a lot older than you probably thought, I genuinely don’t know how having my full experiences would affect you, if it's too intense your brain might mistake it for its own experiences, making you essentially think you’re me. Also, I have a lot of very unpleasant memories.”
“I… I’m tough Blue, I’m sure I can handle it. If I kept my core self even with everything I’ve been through It’ll be fine.”
“If you break I am not telling Chloe, it’s better for her if we just vanish than to get you back physically but not mentally.”
“I’m tough remember? It’ll be fine.”
Another metallic sigh, and then he felt as if warm water was trickling around the inside of his head. In a moment he was floating in a sea of black, it took him a moment to realise he was in his own mind… wait no, I am my own mind then what is?
“It's me” He heard, but not with his ears, it was the same tone as Blue but without the metallic backing.
“How, what do you mean it's you?”
“The space around you, also, can you try and think of a wall on your random thoughts or something? You're basically mentally shouting everything you think.”
“Oh fu-” A pause of silence “Did that work?”
“Yes, now, are you feeling ok? No pain or discomfort or… not you?”
“I feel fine? Why?”
“That's… really strange, this should be causing you at least a major headache, but you’re fine.”
“Told you I'm tough.”
“If you can take this so easily you might be the toughest person alive… mentally, physically it's still me.”
“What about Al? Or the gods?”
“Pfft, just you wait till you see what I did back when I was actually trying… and at full power”
Then the blackness recedes, and is replaced with thousands, tens of thousands, then millions of moving flashing images, it takes him longer than he’d like to admit that he’s viewing memories, and he can only imagine that Blue is looking through his as well. Somehow he can view all of the memories at once, and understand them, it's as if there's a trillion of him all connected to the same core. The feeling is odd.
Once he pays full attention to the memories to try and pass the time he comes to a lot of realisations. The first one he sees is of Blue as a human woman, average height with red hair and green eyes and she’s looking in a mirror, saying something in a language he both does and doesn’t understand. Seconds later he’s looking through her eyes as she attempts test after test, all of which contain things far more advanced than he has seen before but Blue is failing. Over and over, eventually she gets deemed ‘defective’ and given one option, become a soldier. So she does, as the other option is ‘reprocessing’ which is just code for murder.
He watches her life as she becomes an extremely skilled soldier, the other humans with her seem… wrong though, all of them are more intelligent than anyone he knows, even Chloe, but they are all selfish and cruel. Someone in training falls from exhaustion and no one goes to help but Blue, when she does the wounded man looks at her with complete and utter confusion.
Her life snapshots forward to her in combat with the other soldiers, she wields a strange weapon which she simply points and pulls a button, causing a beam of black light to fire out and obliterate the creature she was aiming at, it looked like a dragonborn to Fallen, but more… Human. It had patches of skin rather than scales and was closer to the size of the average human. They were fighting with the weapons he was familiar with, sword and shield stood no chance against the humans’ weapons.
He watched as Blue worked her way through the ranks, eventually gaining the highest rank possible with her ‘deficiency’ due to her military skill and prowess. Eventually her luck ran out and she was wounded severely, a large slash to her midsection before she was blasted with a facefull of fire. After that everything went black.
She woke up feeling different, she was floating in a strange liquid and her wounds were still there, but she was somehow alive, she could feel tubes in her arm and down her throat. Looking down she saw something horrible, her legs were dissolving and then being replaced with a strange black skeletal structure, she then felt the pain. It burned like nothing Fallen had ever felt, and he’d felt a lot of pain in his life.
He watched the process as her whole body was melted and replaced with this material, the worst part was when her brain was somehow morphed into the crystal he knows of now. Then he felt them build her new body out of odd materials, adding her own old organs back in but shrunken, drained and modified into something else.
When it was finally over she wasn’t she anymore, she was it. A monster of their creation, the ultimate weapon, designed to point at gods and demons alike. Blue had no autonomy, they couldn’t even move themselves. He watched as an athletic man with cold calculating eyes entered Blue, the revulsion they felt having someone inside controlling them against their will. He watched as Blue fought with a strength he hadn’t seen before, he watched as they fought monsters that he couldn’t dream of fighting, mountains were shattered in single blows, planets were irreversibly damaged by sustained combat. He even saw Blue take damage a few times, when fighting that world's dragon god, they healed almost instantly though.
And then he saw the day they won, every god was dead, every demon slain, even the sentient embodiments of concepts had been slain and replaced with machines. Blue was still unable to do anything but comply, killing gods as if it were a chore by the end due to the skills retained and that they seemed to simply keep getting stronger.
Fallen had to take a moment to collect himself as he continued watching as Blue, having served their person, was promptly placed in a chamber and simply left for several thousand years. This time was enough for them to eventually find a flaw in their design that they abused and gained self control. Once done, they shattered their containment of adamantine and magic as if it were glass, and turned all that power on their former race.
It was a slaughter, they had created Blue to be unbeatable, indestructible, unable to escape, avoid, or defend against… and they had succeeded. Blue killed trillions, as by this point they had taken over every planet in their universe by force. Eventually there was nothing left, and Blue found the moon he was currently on, locked outside of the effects of time, and simply watched the universe burn out.
Then a new universe was born… and then it died, and again, and again, and again. Nothing changed as Blue did wander on occasion to stop the eternal boredom and solitude, but he truly wouldn't wish that pain on his worst enemy. Eventually something did change, at a location he made very clear mental notes of a rip in space itself appeared, and out tumbled… him. It was himself but he looked different, less muscular, more scholarly as he immediately cast magic to protect himself from the vacuum of space. Fallen was a little embarrassed at how easily Blue had stalked him without him realising. Then he witnessed his and Blue’s meeting from Blue’s end, before witnessing his entire life as far as he could remember from Blue’s perspective.
“I really come close to dying a lot huh?”
“Far too often, yes, medically you actually did die a few times.”
“Oh, shit, we can still talk during this? Well I found what we’re looking for, how's things on your end?”
“I… I have seen fragments of your past, whoever shattered your memory was thorough, it doesn’t even seem like they targeted any memories other than one, and it was so severe they all were affected.”
“What was the memory they targeted?”
“I can’t see it, it's locked behind something I couldn’t even break in my prime… which is terrifying.”
“I know, you really were strong back then. Why can’t you do any of that now?”
“Not enough power, as you know I run on a specialised system that uses emotion, I was powered by my entire species through implants in their heads back then, now it's just you.”
“Ah, could we-”“No, I had to completely alter my powercore in order to form the symbiotic link with you so you wouldn’t age. It still locked me out of control of myself until Chloe fixed it, but I’m not smart enough to alter it again without risking my death, and by extension yours.”
“Ah, sorry I'm not… sustaining enough?”
“Don’t apologise, you’re already somehow more productive than a million of my original people, perhaps it’s because you can feel more than them due to their lack of empathy or compassion.”
“So I have a question, why when that other guy wore you did he never get hurt?”
“There are two main reasons, the first is he was extensively augmented, his durability was likely similar to Alzoreth, and the second is I have systems to protect my user from self harm, but they take more power than we produce now.”
“Is there a way for me to produce more power?”
There's a long pause, Blue is clearly hesitant on this. “Yes, but we aren’t doing it unless it’s life and death.”
“Why?”
“The process where I produce power is, in essence, me taking your emotions, using them in a complex system even I don’t understand, and then putting them back. It happens autonomously and is so quick neither of us can actually comprehend it. However, If I chose to not give those emotions back it would probably multiply the power created by a factor of ten. But during this time you would be emotionless, so we don’t do it unless there's literally no other option.”
“Agreed, let's see it then.”
Fallen and Blue continue their walk, Fallen moving one leg and Blue the other as they approach the location Fallen arrived. The walk takes several days with a rest every few hours for the sake of Fallens health, Blue suggests they rest longer each time but Fallen refuses.
Once they reach the arrival point it is rather obvious, there is a strange distortion in the air where Fallen arrived. It seems… wrong, and Blue is unable to perceive it.
“You’re telling me you don’t see that?!” Fallen exclaims as they near, with Blue adamantly stating nothing is there.
“There's nothing there to see! I have sensors that detect things completely imperceptible, but there's nothing there… wait.” They pause for a few seconds and halt all movement. “There's nothing there, I mean no light, no sound, no heat, no energy… just nothing. That's impossible!”
“I can see something, it's like the air… blurs a bit, it hurts to look at.”
“How much pain?”
“A seven” which is horrifying considering Fallen considers his mangled arm and leg to be a three.
“Shit… so what are we going to do about it?”
“Touch it.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Probably”
Then everything went black for Fallen, as Blue finds themselves suddenly empty, Fallen having reached out and touched the anomaly.
“Fallen?! FALLEN!!!”

Hi there,
So I'm graduating from my high school soon and I want to make a wiring diagram of the entire stage. This would include the server rack with a stagebox, 3 amps, network switch, patch panels and wireless mic systems. I also want to add our whole coms system and multiple access panels around the stage and in the stage.
I have attempted to use multiple different different websites for this, but none of them seams to be the right thing to use. Currently I am using draw.io but I would really want something better. I would prefer a free software but if there is some great paid options, i'd like to hear about it.

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED. There is some gore, nothing to descriptive, but if you have a weak stomach maybe pass on this one.
ALSO: This is a first draft, will post the revised one later.
Adonis came from a backwater mining world that had maintained much of its mining equipment and a base level of industry during the age of strife. Adonis lived a relatively uneventful life on this planet, being the only child to two parents who had gone missing when he was twelve, he would enter the mines earlier than most, but only slightly as although technically mining jobs could only be conducted by those older than eighteen, however through necessity children as young as thirteen would entire the mines to help sustain their families. These younger workers would be given relatively safer jobs compared to the older workers, monitoring equipment and other surface operations as examples. Even still this labor was backbreaking, and would more often than not result in the early demise of many inhabitants of this planet.
On his first day in the mines, Adonis would be paired with a girl who was fifteen years old, slightly taller than him, who stood at 4’11” at the time. She had short, light brown hair, and a thin but muscular build. They were trained on how to monitor the Auto-miner machine, and who to contact if anything went wrong. They were then given some time to get acquainted with one another before beginning their work. The girl introduced herself first.
“Hello, my name is Roleru, I look forward to working with you”, she responded with more enthusiasm than a young teen forced into the mines should.
“Adonis, and likewise”, He responded a bit hesitant. He was not looking to make friends. He barely wanted to be working, let alone in a mine, he would work there no longer than he had to, then he would find better work elsewhere. Adonis was still confused about where his parents had gone, and why they had left him behind
After this they were led down into the mines, making small talk on the rusty service elevator, and it turns out she was an only child as well. They shared a lot in common, her father had died in a mining accident, and her mother was unable to work due to worsening illness. She was working to support both her mother and herself, She seemed relatively upbeat despite a life of tragedy. Maybe he could learn from her, and piece back together his recently shattered life. In this rusted mine elevator a friendship was born, and many days they would start their days talking to each other on this elevator. Their main job was to monitor a large mining machine, and if anything goes wrong to immediately hit the emergency shutdown. This machine was larger than any Adonis had seen, towering over him and with many large grinding wheels to slowly break down rocks into progressively smaller chunks, until they are eventually spit out onto a long conveyor belt. An observation catwalk overlooked this series of crushers, with simple metal railings, and a solid metal floor to prevent any dropped materials from potentially damaging the equipment. They were shown to the cabin, where a vast array of displays and buttons could be found, and one large red button in a plastic case with the panel behind it painted a surprisingly vibrant yellow considering the dirty state of everything, and above it set on a background of hazard stripes the word “Emergency Shut-Down” could be seen in distinct red lettering. The operator that led them here initiated the machine to start up, and their work began in this cramped cabin where Roleru and Adonis would become practically siblings, with Roleru practically becoming Adonis’ older sister.
About 3 years of this work would go by in the blink of an eye, Adonis now fifteen is the same age as Roleru was when she started working in the mines. Now that Roleru could officially work in the mines, she would be given more training on how to actually operate the machine she had monitored for so long. Adonis was so proud of his big sister they celebrated that night, getting some slightly higher quality rations to have a feast that night. Any decent quality food was a real commodity on (insert planet name here).
However, the happy times wouldn’t last, as a couple of months later Roleru’s mother would die due to her illness. Although she would return to a happier mood after properly grieving, she never seemed quite the same to Adonis. They would continue to work in the mines together as they always had, now with no technician to accompany them to start the equipment. Together they would continue to grow closer, practically inseparable at this point, Roleru found a lot of comfort in Adonis’ presence which was sorely needed when she was grieving.
During this entire time Adonis would look for his parents in his free time, following any leads he could find. He would discover at the same time of Roleru’s mother’s passing that his parents had also passed in a mining accident, operating the same machine he and Roleru were working with. This fact would linger in the back of his mind at work from then on, disturbed by the potential lethality of the machine he interacted with daily.
Another 3 years would pass, Adonis and Roleru would continue to grow together. Moving in together, as any family should, and for financial reasons. Adonis, now 18, had recently finished his training on mining machine operation and maintenance. Roleru, now 21, had prepared the same high quality rations they had when she was promoted for that night's dinner. However, tragedy would strike during the workday, as Roleru would slip on the catwalk of the machine while it was in operation, and fall into the crushing gears. Adonis would immediately hit the emergency stop. As the loud machine whirred down, there was still energy in the gears, they would slow to a stop in the silence, but in the silence there was a sickening wet ripping sound, followed by a desperate pained scream. Adonis would quickly call for help before going down to help Roleru, however the sight he saw in the maw of this great devourer was horrifying. The entrails of his sister decorated the grinding gears like some sick and twisted form of party streamers, and the blood oh god the blood. Adonis could hear pained groans and he quickly scrambled to find the rest of Roleru. He would find her shortly after he began searching.
“No. no no no no. Stay with me! Help is on the way, you’ll be okay”, Adonis pleaded with Roleru.
“Sorry cough cough I guess I was too careless” Roleru responded, blood rolling out of her mouth. Internal bleeding, or is it external in this case? Ah semantics don’t matter, thought Adonis. The light was already fading from her eyes, unsurprising for the amount of blood loss, and the gore.
“NO! Don’t leave me, don’t leave like they did.” Adonis pleaded with a raspy voice through choked sobs, unsure of when he started crying. “Please stay with me, you promised you would.” He held her close, trying to comfort her in any way he could while desperately trying to stop the bleeding before the medical team arrived.
“I’m so sorry, I wish I could stay with you longer.”, Roleru said calmly, though the tears rolling down her face betrayed her true emotions. “I’ll always be with you in spirit.”
With that final statement she died in his arms, he would clutch the gorey remains of his sister, screaming and crying until the medical team arrived. They had to peel him off of her remains, essentially dragging him out of the mine for the day, on his walk back to their shared home, he would see a strange looking official giving a speech he only overheard part of it and he was only vaguely paying attention.
“From this day forward you will pay a tithe to the Imperium of man”, the official stated. A new ruler? Happens all the time, nothing to worry about Thought Adonis, little did he know this announcement would soon turn his already tumultuous life upside down.
He entered the hab building, and saw the two ration packets set out on the table, along with a small rectangular box. Adonis opened it, his hands still caked in Roleru’s blood. Inside was a simple silver locket, containing a photo of the two of them 3 years ago, celebrating Roleru’s promotion. Clutching the locket Adonis would fall to his knees and cry. An hour later Adonis would fall asleep, exhausted after showering. He would wake up the next morning, finding the two ration packets still uneaten on the counter.
After eating some breakfast and heading out for work, Adonis would notice something attached to the door of their hab unit.
It reads: Draft notice, You have been drafted to serve the Emperor of mankind. Report to the imperial guard training facility in 2 hours (live updated).

2 hours? Emperor of man, how conceited can one be? Oh well, it doesn't sound like I have a choice. Adonis would change his course, notifying his overseer at work before locating the Imperial guard training center. Little more than a temporary tent, it would appear there are other recruits here as well. A group of nine others were also waiting, clearly also drafted. After a bit of small talk with the other recruits, a man in olive green flak armor, a string of numbers on a plate attached on his left breast clearly some form of ID, wearing a helmet of the same color with a gold skull on the forehead. Walked out of the tent and immediately commanded the attention of all the recruits present. The man spoke in a gravelly voice, “I am Sargent Gordel, And I will make all of your lives hell over the next six weeks. You will have exactly one minute to make calls to get your affairs in order, after that you belong to the Imperial army." With that he turned and walked back into the tent, the recruits panicked at first, then followed him after a short while. That was 6 months ago, and as Adonis sat in some god forsaken trench during a particularly brutal compliance, he had wished for the thirtieth time that day that this was all some horrible nightmare. Alas it was not, he had been stationed on the frontlines, fighting against some technologically advanced humans that used bladed drones to devastating effect. Adonis was not particularly skilled at warfare, his aim was middling, his hand to hand skills less than perfect, and he had no mind for command. However, his previous work had him communicating a lot. This skill in both verbal communication, and communication equipment landed him a job as a vox-caster in his squad, lead by Sargent Gordel. Adonis disliked Gordel, a man of hubris and little talent in leadership. However, due to his role in communications Adonis had to be in close to proximity to the man during all waking hours. Ever since he had received the special vox-caster helmet he kept it on, only taking it off to eat. Adonis felt safe enclosed in his helmet, the constant line of communication meaning he could prepare for any future curveballs that might turn his life upside down, so that what happened after that horrible day will never happen again. Adonis would never be caught off guard again, or so he thought. As this compliance continued, Adonis was hearing fewer fellow vox-casters every day, until nobody responded on short-range communications one day. Alone, Adonis and his squad were all that was left in the trench line. As a forward position high casualties were to be expected, but they hadn’t been reinforced in weeks. Adonis had been given a faulty long-range vox, so he often had to make trips down the trench to the nearest squad to communicate with high command. During his last trip Adonis had heard that surrender of the planet was currently being negotiated, but in the meantime to keep fighting, that was days ago. During his trips down these lines he would often pass segments where the guardsmen had either been butchered by the drones, or fled the battlefield. He was envious of those who fled, but he would feel responsible for the deaths of his comrades if he left them to die. Today Adonis would try to retrieve a long-range vox to talk with high command. Shells were still falling on enemy positions, so they weren't abandoned. An assault on the trenches happened last night, it took 30 minutes of walking for Adonis to reach the next position, all he found there was a puddle of gore, and if he hadn’t known humans were here before, there was no way to identify what organism this pile of entrails used to be now. It sickened him, but he kept moving, not lingering on the thoughts of his past. It would take hours to find a usable long-range vox. It would take more hours to return, but in the meantime he used the vox to get updated on the situation. 

“This is vox-master Adonis in the first trench, position 38. Looks like my squad might be the last one left. High-command please respond.” Adonis hailed, hoping to hear back soon.
It would take 30 minutes for a response, but it came nonetheless. “We read you Adonis, this is High-command vox-master Gunther. How the hell are you guys still alive, the last report we got from the forward trench was 4 days ago. Anyways, peace has been reached and will go into effect tomorrow at dawn, until then keep fighting and we’ll come get you.” The man responded in a shocked voice.
“Copy command, I had to scavenge a long-range vox from a dead squad, mine has been faulty since we landed here. Thanks for the update, I will let the rest know when I get back.” Adonis replied, relieved that he would soon get to leave this hellscape. In the meantime he slowly made his way back to his position.
After hours of slowly progressing through the byzantine trench system, and hearing the wet squelch of viscera beneath his boots more often than not he finally made it back to his position. To his surprise everyone was still alive. After explaining what he heard over the vox to Gordel, Gordel called the other 9 people in the trench.
“Our vox-master has explained to me that we need to hold out until morning. Then this compliance will be over. Do you think you pansies are up to the task?”, Gordel asked, clearly just trying to raise morale.
“YES SIR!”, the squad responded loudly. Hope was something that had been in short supply in the trenches for weeks. To hear there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel made them all ecstatic. However the next 12 hours would be hell.
The first three were spent by the 11 people discussing what they would do on leave, then as the sun set, the next three hours were spent nervously watching the enemy trench. As midnight approached, metallic skittering could be heard across no man’s land. The drones were being used to secure one last victory by some egotistical commander on the other side, to break one full trench line before peace had officially started. At first it was a few, not even making it to the trench as the Guardsmen gunned them down with ease, but as 6 a.m. crept closer, the assault intensified.
Eventually these drones were leaping into the trenches, the 11 people gunned them down, but more took their place, eventually people were being butchered right in front of Adonis, reminding him of his friend's fate. Adonis was sickened by the site of it but swallowed back the bile that had risen in his throat, Gordel was the last to die, ripped apart limb from limb right before Adonis, he gunned the three drones down but by the time he had Gordel was dead, Adonis may not have liked him, but to die like that, Gordel had his sympathies. As Adonis fought on he wondered when the sun would rise, how much longer would he have to fight these horrid engines, designed to kill in the cruelest way imaginable. Adonis did his duty and reported each casualty as they happened over long-range vox. The fighting never seemed to end, he had to pick up his comrades weapons multiple times as he kept running out of ammo.
After what seemed like an eternity the hues of violet and indigo that signified the sun was soon to rise appeared in the sky, and after only 30 more minutes of desperately trying to hold on to his life the drones in the trench suddenly stopped, climbed out and marched back to the other trench line. After this Adonis reported to high-command.
“This is vox-master Adonis, the fighting is over. 10 casualties, I’m all that's left.” Adonis reported grimmly. Exhaustion evident in his voice.
“This is High-command Vox-master Gunther. We hadn’t heard from you in a couple of hours so we thought you were dead. Frankly, the fact that you’re alive is a miracle.” Gunther responded incredulously.
“Is that so?” Adonis responded without any emotion, too exhausted to care.
“Well problem is we canceled evacuations to that trench. I’ll go talk to someone higher up. In the meantime sit tight.” Gunther responded.
Adonis would trudge out of the trench. Seeing a hill, not crater pocked and covered in grass with a large, flat rock on top. Adonis would make his way over to this hill, and sit atop the rock, feet pressed together as he took his vox-caster helmet off. His face covered in sweat, he can see how utterly covered in the blood of his comrades he is. Sickened by this fact and given his reprieve, he ejects what little remains in his stomach. Tears stream down his face as he questions how much longer he’ll be in this army, how many others will he see turned to paste, and why he decided to fight instead of joining his Roleru in the afterlife.
His mental breakdown is set to the backdrop of a beautiful sunset, he has calmed down by the time a gleaming purple transport pulls up to the trench line. A tall woman in purple armor steps out, white hair flowing down her shoulders, with piercing purple eyes. She scans for something before setting eyes on Adonis.
She calls out to him, “Vox-master, your transport awaits.” Adonis walks to the transport, not bothering to go back to the trench. After the imposing, yet elegant woman climbs into the transport after him, the doors close and it speeds off.

Chinese calendar apparently divides the year up into 24 solar terms to help with the timing of farming and stuff. This is relevant because when one specific solar terms) starts, this term marks the beginning of a festival called Qingming Festival, which is sort of like a Chinese Day of the Dead.

• Wikipedia says that this is when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 15° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 30°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 15°, usually on April 5. This period is referred to as Qingming )in astronomical terms, and the festival itself is called Qingming Jie (Qingming festival), which only occurs on the first day of Qingming.

But I'm not sure how to visually represent that? I want to do it for an asian american art piece I'm making, combining Scifi/astronomy and Chinese culture.
For more context, the chinese calendar according to chinese wiki (baidu) says that "The twenty-four solar terms were originally determined by the direction of the handle of the Big Dipper. The handle starts from the "寅位”(Yin position)" and rotates clockwise once, which is one year. When the handle points to the "乙位 (Yi position)", it is Qingming."
So I'd love to maybe use a background of the night sky with the big dipper pointing in the right direction, or maybe show a diagram of the sun at the celestial longitude of 15 degrees.

Edit: Since it seems people are getting the wrong idea, I completely affirm transgender identities and fully support the current medical consensus regarding affirmative therapy.
I have a little bit of a thesis on sex and gender, specifically addressing certain objections to our modern conceptions of both.
I'm sure at this point anyone who is taking part in discussions on these topics has heard the question "What is a woman?" and received answers along the lines of "Adult human female". I'm also sure that most of you reading along have heard sentiments similar to "There's only two sexes/genders". There's nothing strictly wrong with those answers, except that I would say that they are a simple lie upon which we build a complex truth.
When we teach children about the solar system, we usually start with a diagram showing the sun in the center and all nine eight planets roughly the same size in tightly packed circular orbits. Anybody even vaguely familiar with astrophysics can point out the inaccuracies, and one might even go so far as to say that that model of the solar system is a lie. However, the simplicity of that lie is a necessary step for us to build the comprehensive truth. Beginning with the dramatic difference in size is extremely difficult for a young mind to comprehend, circles are much more easily drawn than ellipses, and the vast scales of space simply don't fit on an A4 sheet of paper in an 11-year-old's duotang. Once the foundation of a simple lie has been built, we then move on to the more complex truths of astrophysics.
In much the same way, we are taught the simple lies about sex and gender because the actual complexities of those topics are, if you'll pardon the wordplay, astronomical. There's nothing wrong with the simple lies for the vast majority of people going about their day-to-day life. Most people you'll meet on the street don't have intersex conditions, are gender conforming, and play out the cultural expectations for their gender role. After all, gender roles wouldn't be a thing if the majority of people didn't perform them to some degree.
However, simple lies are just that, simple and untrue. They're easy for our minds to grasp, but don't reflect reality. There are certain situations when a simple lie will fail us and the complex truth is necessary. When crafting legislation, teaching doctors about intersex conditions and the additional care needed, or when researching sex and gender, it is imperative that we adopt the complex, comprehensive definitions that so many seem to shy away from.
It's for these reasons that I think the dialectic coming from those who wish for the world to adopt comprehensive, complex definitions should shift towards making those differences known. Rather than telling somebody they're wrong for defining a woman as an "adult human female", I think it would be more valuable and more correct to point out that that definition fails to grasp the vast complexity of sex determination and gender identity.

Deep in the groaning halls of sinew and bone he awaited his audience with the god. At a wave of his hand the ribs which held up the ceiling contracted, tendons shifting within the pink walls of the chamber as the jagged, calcareous spurs that composed the doorway sank back into the spongy masses of tissue, revealing a passage curving down and out of sight.
Menash stood before the yawning portal and considered eternity. This was no an idle thought: here in the Dawning Chamber, the concept was very real. His father, Yulan, had stood in this exact spot times beyond count. When he was struck down in his prime by the Night Weaver and her Leaper offspring, torn limb from limb as he fought to defend Chthonis from a raiding party, Menash’s uncle, Aqavarr, had carried his broken remains over that grinning threshold to join the hosts of the dead, never to return.
A hot and heavy exhalation rattled up out of the depths, wafting in the acrid scent of the bonding pools and the wet slithering sound of the rebirthing canals. Menash felt a crackle of static in the corners of his mind before the signal sharpened and he heard It whisper distinctly:
“Enter…”
The familiar dread crept its way up the small of his back, and he gave a little shiver. No matter how many times he had communed with the Vitalus, he’d never been able to shake the feeling of his utter insignificance. But he persevered, walking bravely down the slurping passage, past the rows of broad antechambers lining either side of the hallway. Each one held a slumbering shape immersed in a cryogenic bath, towering hulks of muscle encased in ribbed and riveted plates of chitin. No two were alike in size or physiology, but all seemed to emanate the same primeval aura of dread that tickled Menash’s fight-or-flight-instinct, skewing it very much towards the latter response. These were the Hollowores, soulless avatars of the Vitalus, each one a tool capable of eradicating an entire species. As Menash approached, one of the living weapons stirred to life. A pronged, anvil-shaped head emerged from the bath, umbilical feeder tubes detaching from its armored flanks as the rest of its bulk followed, its mauve exoskeleton as sleek and shiny as amethyst. The Hollowore extended legs as thick as grown pine trees and lifted itself above him, its pairs of crushing pincers dripping amniotic fluids as it herded him towards the central room.
Bundles of white gossamer filaments spread all across the floor, encircling steaming pools of pus and acid. He saw arms and legs, sensory organs and entire exoskeletons being knitted before his very eyes, the amino acid chains being stitched on a layer at a time, the weeping pus evidence of microphages fighting off possible infections as the Vitalus did Its work.
These were the next generation of exomorphs, yet to be assigned to their hosts. It was here that Vitalus constantly improved the only thing that could ensure the continued survival of Menash’s subspecies. Exomorphs were bonded to Gallivants at birth, the organisms supplying their hosts with the means to breathe an atmosphere they was never meant to endure, and the strength to fight in a world that was red in tooth and claw. They were as swift as the summer wind and could multiply their host’s muscular power by up to twelve times their natural output.
But for all their God-given might, Gallivants were still mortal. They could and often did perish in the endless struggle for existence that the Vitalus called the Great Game. But even in death they could still commit their essence to posterity, passing down their defining traits through the malleable genetic code of the gilt helix. It was the Vitalus’ greatest boon; through the gilt helix a single individual could become a progenitor of an entire generation, becoming at one stroke the father of whole nations and peoples.
One day he too would prove worthy of the honor that Yulan had earned with his life. But he was not alone in that ambition. Menash was annoyed to find the crimson-clad Vezda and the cowardly Racek waiting for him inside, standing next to a large ball of filaments that hung from a tonsil-like growth hanging from the walls.
This node pulsed, emitting a small storm of bioelectric activity, networks of fungi conveying commands in the form of oscillating voltages to their communities of symbiotic bacteria, the latter containing greigite mineral crystals aligned in the shape of electromagnetic coils. Other networks hidden in the walls modulated and amplified the signals, and the three Gallivants steeled themselves for the onrushing flood of information as the Vitalus tapped into their minds.
He was a candle before the raging heart of the thunderstorm. For an instant Menash touched a fraction of Its intelligence, the divisions of time and space rolling back as they joined the ocean of shared consciousness, becoming one with the living systems of Arachnea. From the tiniest aeroplankton floating above the waves of the golden coastlines, to the herds of ultrapods munching their way through swathes of trees in the savannahs. Menash felt himself pushing up out of the soil, longing and lusting and reaching for the sunlight with a trillion green fingers uncurling, alive with the furious movement of life.
But what was that flicker of orange to the east? That searing heat, that prickling pain spreading like a cancer down his side?
The Vitalus scooped them up and hurled them headlong into hell itself. A roaring wildfire was sweeping into the heart of the eastern rainforests. Menash tasted ash and ruin, felt pieces of himself wither and burn, his branches tongues of fire, wood cracking from the intense blaze, sap boiling instantaneously upon contact and rupturing, splitting him right down the grain. He fled in terror, running, slithering, digging, swimming, flying away in crazed panic from the walls of red death closing in on him. As his skin flaked off in clumps of charcoal he looked back and saw it towering over the treetops, the epicenter of this howling vortex of destruction: the grey behemoth. Its burnished metal hide gleamed like copper, reflecting the fury of the conflagration burning well into the night.
Menash pulled his mind away before it was lost forever in the storm of electric potentials. He saw Racek and Vezda swaying on their feet, breathing hard and fast.
“Heart of the World,” he managed to gasp, “What is your bidding?”
The Hollowore maneuvered itself until it was facing him directly. Tiny beady eyes fixed him in their blank gaze. The node emitted a blue pulse and the creature shuddered as it received the signal. It opened a maw powerful enough to chew boulders into gravel and rumbled:
“This one is the alpha which survived first contact with anomalous variable. It will tell Us what occurred, and from whence this threat emerged.”
“It came from the karst mountain range, where the yellowjacket Amit live,” Menash replied, “It was destroying the largest mound in that area, massacring its inhabitants. It brought the mountain down on them—we’ve never seen anything like it. Zildiz was the first on the scene. She warned us not to approach, and that it was dangerous, but some of us,” here he cast an angry look at Vezda, “Some of us went ahead and tried to scavenge from the bodies of the dying. Then the behemoth ignited the air and burned scores of us to cinders.”
“Irrational. Why did you do this?”
“W-we thought that you had spawned the grey behemoth,” Menash stammered, embarrassed to say the least, “That it was the newest addition to the Great Game, another species of ultrafauna that would help perfect Arachnea.”
“Not so. It was made by an evil far older than the All-In-One,” replied the Vitalus, “It is called a Divine Engine. In cycles past, this evil sought to undo this world and all that inhabit it. In that, it almost succeeded.”
Menash felt his blood run cold at those words.
“Is it the only one of its kind?” Racek piped up. Menash and Vezda both bristled at his interruption; subordinates were only supposed to speak when spoken to.
“There were several deployed here in Our infancy. We had thought them all destroyed in the War of Creation.”
“Your Munificence,” Racek went on, heedless of the venomous looks he was getting from the other two, “Most of us survived because Zildiz persuaded us to dive into the river. She saved all our lives! But as I washed up on the riverbank, I saw the behemoth casting a seedpod into the skies. I did not see where it landed, but it was travelling in a high arc due east. Is this the behemoth’s method of reproducing? If so, then how many offspring can it generate from this one seed?”
The Vitalus met his questions with a minute of silence. Menash had never known It to take so long to respond to a query, and felt another stab of unease in his gut. Unless he was imagining things, the Vitalus seemed genuinely disturbed by the scenario that Racek has raised, enough to convince Menash that the danger was far from hypothetical.
“That is a distant possibility,” It said somewhat cryptically, “Regardless, We cannot allow the Engine’s continued existence.”
“Then it must be destroyed,” Vezda said, her barbed tail eagerly perking up.
“We are not certain that it can be,” the Vitalus said, and Menash heard Racek audibly gulp at the admission.
“But Your Omniscience, you alone are the arbiter of growth and decay,” Vezda said in disbelief, “Surely you can unmake this monster as well?”
“Perhaps. The Divine Engines were built to withstand the extremes of temperature, gravity, atmospheric pressure, acidity and irradiation found on semi-inhabitable exoplanets. Worlds of bareness and desolation, glassed by thermonuclear bombardment or infested with alien microorganisms. In the wars of Our youth, the Betrayers used tungsten-alloy warheads fired from space platforms to crack their bulkheads. Not even Our vessels, the Hollowores, could damage them in any significant way. We will need time to gather the raw materials and fabricate the weapons needed to end this threat.”
“What must we do?” Menash asked.
“If this variable is not dealt with, it could upset the delicate balance We have sacrificed so much to achieve. Already the wildfire it has caused will release close to 400 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and destroy 2.3 million acres of forest before Our countermeasures can stop it. Time is our limiting factor. If the Engine cannot be destroyed now, it must be restrained.”
“It hasn’t moved an inch since we last saw it,” Vezda said brightly, “Maybe it has already died?”
“Yes, and maybe your mother was a horka toad,” Racek said snidely. Vezda scowled and took a step towards him, then stopped as she remembered that she trod on hallowed ground.
“Not so. It has merely gone dormant. Having expended its fuel, it is now running on the bare minimum of its reserves. My children, you must ensure that it does not wake again. Establish a quarantine zone around the Engine and let none approach, on pain of death. The Leaper kindreds will secure the ground while the Gallivants patrol the skies.”
Vezda and Menash exchanged troubled looks. Nobody wanted Leapers establishing a foothold in what was essentially a buffer zone between their subspecies. Once allowed to settle in a habitat, it would not take long for them to adapt and become masters of their new territory. Ousting them would become a battle of attrition, and given the lower birthrates of Gallivants, it was not one they could long afford.
“Respectfully, we do not require assistance from our brother kindred,” Menash ventured, “We are more than capable of safeguarding the area ourselves.”
The node throbbed again, the bioelectric flashes taking on an angry purple hue. With a sound like the grinding of a millstone the Hollowore clashed its claws together impatiently. All three of the mortals took a hasty step back.
“The alpha will obey, or another will be found that can,” the Vitalus growled at them, “All subspecies will observe a general truce during this period. This is a temporary addition to the Great Game. Those that serve Us well shall be rewarded. We shall also enlist the aid of your terrestrial cousins, as well as the Cataphract clans to replenish the soil, and lone Saints who shall rove beyond the quarantine zone.”
Menash’s unease deepened. The Vitalus was bringing together four different kindreds, some of which killed each other on sight, in a move that reeked of desperation. The kindreds had worked together before, of course, on complex projects such as altering rainfall patterns and husbanding struggling species, but never so many at once. This was bound to end in bloodshed.
“Those that break the truce shall be chemically neutered, and their gilt helix purged from the existing gene pool,” the Vitalus continued, “You will maintain this quarantine until We have dealt with the Engine.”
“It is understood!” Menash and Vezda said at once.
“But what about Zildiz?” Racek blurted out, again risking his entire lineage by speaking out of turn, “She might still be alive out there!”
“He’s right,” Menash found himself agreeing despite his dislike for Racek, “She’s our alpha, after all. It would be a shame to lose her helix. Do we have your leave to send out a party to recover her?”
The Vitalus pondered the request for a moment, then crushed his hopes when it said:
“Regrettable, the loss of the female. Valuable stock for the breeding program. But it has not responded to Our signals—it is unlikely to have survived. The female Vezda shall take up its duties as alpha.”
“But Your Benevolence—” both men cried out in unison.
“It is decided. She has risked the Great Game, and must abide by its outcome. To speak more on this would risk Our displeasure,” the god warned.
“We can’t spare the manpower anyway,” Vezda pointed out, trying not to look too pleased at Its decision. She darted a quick look at Menash, long enough for him to see the selfish desire festering in her heart. He turned away from her in disgust, baring his blades by the slightest of margins to let her know what he thought of her, then asked the Vitalus:
“But what of the Engine’s seedpod? Should we search for it?”
“Negative!” the Vitalus boomed, its node reinforcing the word with a spike of activity that sent needles of pain spearing into their heads, “We shall complete this task. It is dangerous and can be entrusted to no other.”
The Hollowore angled its massive head towards the cavernous ceiling, armored flaps on its back sliding aside as it unfurled sets of rigid sixty-meter wings. A wide sphincter on the roof gaped open and Menash saw the evening sky awash with the stars in their milky multitudes. The Hollowore took a deep breath through the spiracles lining its thorax and abdomen, pumping air through a pair of hollow tube-like protuberances under either of its wings. Menash and the others quickly scampered to a safe distance. Seconds later there was a scream of chemical combustion and the Hollowore rose into the evening skies, leaving behind a long trail of superheated gases, the backwash almost knocking Menash off his feet. They watched as the Hollowore gained altitude, making straight for the columns of billowing smoke on the horizon, a sweeping shadow blotting out the light of the heavens.
The Vitalus’ mental presence receded with it. When it did not return, they took it to mean that they were dismissed and likewise took flight and headed for Chthonis. They were hardly out of the Dawning Chamber when Vezda seized the scrawny Racek by his wings and anchored her feet right up against his back.
“Funny little man, are you? Crack jokes at my expense again, and I’ll see to it that you’ll never fly again!” she snarled, yanking hard. Racek yelled as his wings threatened to pop out of their sockets.
“Stop!” Menash said, ramming his shoulder into her and knocking the smaller male out of her grip. Vezda rounded on him, blades out and her tail aquiver with rage.
“As for you! No one should speak to the Vitalus like that!” she shrieked, “Much less gainsay It! Are you trying to get us all killed? It is the source and continuance of life itself—”
“But the Vitalus doesn’t always consider the individual scale of things,” Menash reasoned, controlling his rising anger as he tried to defuse the situation, “Its scope of thought is beyond ours. Therefore it is up to us to look after each other. None of us can win the Great Game alone. We need people like Zildiz for the species to prosper.”
“Your logic is flawed,” Vezda spat, “Empathy is a sham devised by the selfish action of the gene, which seeks only to preserve itself. At least I am honest enough to look after my own interests. Your obsession with that whore is misplaced. Heed my words, Menash. What happened today marks a change in the Great Game. Only the ruthless will reap the rewards of this era. Think on that, and act accordingly.”
The female darted off in another direction, leaving the two behind.
“Thanks,” Racek said, rubbing at his sore shoulders, “My, my. She’s really taking her promotion very seriously, isn’t she?”
“This doesn’t make us friends,” Menash said shortly, “We share a common interest, that’s all.”
The two flew together in silence for a time, the dark canopy unrolling below their feet. Racek had always been a bitter rival for Zildiz’s affections. In the mating seasons he and Menash had flown the damsel-dance against each other countless times, racing and dogfighting at top speed through the dense bamboo thickets in an effort to impress her.
But each time she had always chosen Menash. Naturally. He was the stronger, the braver, the son of the Scourge who had slain hundreds on his lightning raids into Leaper territory. Their pairings had been brief and passionate, yet she had always laughed at the end and gone on her merry way, a rose petal borne on a scented breeze, the dalliance as meaningless to her as other concerns like eating or breathing.
But not to him. Right now, all that mattered was her. And Racek was the only one in the whole wide world who knew exactly how he felt. Did that mean he could be trusted? Menash considered the enormity of what he was about to do, and wavered. Then he saw her face in the darkness of his home, the face she wore when they were all alone together, and he took a deep breath before breaking the silence, saying:
“I’ll be in charge of the quarantine. I can arrange for you to disappear for a few days. I can have one of the younglings mimic your magnetosynaptic signal, make it seem like you’re with the rest of us.”
“You’d do that? For me?” Racek said in astonishment.
“Hah. Not for you,” Menash laughed softly. He looked Racek straight in the eyes and continued: “What’ll it be, then?”
If he so much as hesitates, I’ll have to kill him here and now, Menash told himself.
“Why, yes. Yes, of course!” the little brown male said vigorously.
“Good,” Menash sighed with relief, “She’ll be very grateful to whoever brings her home. I’d do it myself, but as an alpha I can’t risk being seen as disobedient.”
“Then why give me this chance? After all that’s passed between us?”
“I should have thought that was obvious,” Menash replied. Racek digested that for a bit, then out of nowhere said:
“If I find her—when I find her—I’ll tell her exactly who it was that sent me.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
“Bah! Just so we’re even, that’s all,” Racek grinned, his mouthparts slanting askew.
“Thanks, I guess. I’d…I’d appreciate that. You do understand what we’re risking here, right?”
“Sure. We’ll be total genetic write-offs if we’re caught. But it’s not like I wanted to see tiny ugly Raceks running around the house anyway. What about you, though? Why are you putting your neck on the chopping block?”
“You know why,” Menash said quietly, his thoughts still lingering on her face.
“Yes,” Racek agreed with a wistful air, “Yes, I suppose I do.”
And the pair spoke no more until they reached Chthonis.

I'm not fully sure this is the right place to post, but I'm looking for a book that acts almost like an encyclopedia for mechanical solutions to various problems.
I do a lot of diy stuff and was hoping there is a book out there where I can look up a solution to a mechanical problem with diagrams (eg: converting linear motion to circular motion, or different types of levers or pulley systems) but so far I haven't found anything that fits the bill.
I may crosspost this to some engineering subs as well and see if there is such a book, but it seems to me like someone must have compiled a bunch of mechanical principles into a bound volume at some point and I'm just not googling the right words.
Thanks in advance.

Preface: This is for Vedic, Sidereal Astrology.
This took a super long time to finish, but I've finally reached a point where I think I'm done trying to improve it. This part will focus more on how Purva Bhadrapada manifests for individuals.
Nature
Purva Bhadrapada reminds me a lot of Kali Yuga. In Hindu cosmology, Kali is the final of the four ages that the world goes through as part of a continuous cycle of creation, maintenance, and dissolution. It is the final stage before the onset of a new cycle, promising the destruction of the old order and the eventual merging of all into a unified whole. It signifies a time of dual balance before dissolution of individual identities and the reunification of all existence with the divine source. This can be viewed as being similar to the process of individual death, but it is on a universal scale. Kali Yuga is considered the age of darkness and moral decline, where spiritual values deteriorate and materialism prevails. According to Hindu scriptures, Kali Yuga is characterized by widespread social, political, and moral corruption, as well as a decline in virtue and Dharma (righteousness). It is believed that, during this age, human beings face numerous challenges and spiritual tests, and the pursuit of higher consciousness becomes increasingly more difficult compared to the previous Yugas. Just as Kali Yuga tests individuals with challenges to their spiritual resolve amidst the prevailing degeneration of values, Purva Bhadrapada is a cosmic stage where one's truest nature is tested through the weakening separation of the spiritual and the material. Here, individuals are made to confront their deepest fears and desires, burdened with the challenge of facing their true nature and purifying their souls. The emphasis of this nakshatra lies in releasing attachments amidst the seduction of outer freedom and power, mirroring the spiritual trials inherent to Kali Yuga. Yet, despite challenges of degeneration, there exists a unique opportunity during the stages of both Kali and Purva Bhadrapada. Kali is believed to be the best time for spiritual progress and true liberation because individuals can attain spiritual growth more rapidly due to the intensity of the challenges they face during this period, and the same is true of Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra. Both Kali and Purva Bhadrapada emphasize the importance of transcending mundane concerns and dedicatedly seeking spiritual truth amidst the backdrop of pervading ignorance.
The primary nature of Purva Bhadrapada is that of penance and disequilibrium. Purva Bhadrapada is the stage of evolution where individuals are made to undergo intense internal transformation and dissolution, shedding layers of their being in preparation for spiritual renewal and divine return. This process of metamorphosis can be seen as a type of penance, whether embraced willingly or thrust upon them. It offers eventual rewards as they journey towards enlightenment. As the primary nature of Purva Bhadrapada revolves around penance and transformation, individuals heavily influenced by this Nakshatra are oriented towards personal introspection and societal purification, viewing their lives as both a personal quest for growth and an opportunity to contribute to something greater. Individually, they seek to cleanse themselves of past transgressions and strive for spiritual redemption, and they feel personally responsible for their impact on others. At a broader societal level, they are driven by a strong sense of justice and a duty to rectify societal wrongs of the past and present in order to contribute to the collective upliftment and purification of their community. As such, they often subject themselves and others to extreme physical, mental, and spiritual challenges. They are presented with a kind of spiritual trial of sacrifice: either they can willingly embrace self-denial and endure while remaining detached, or they can create so much desire and fear that it causes them to lose the direction of their souls in the process. While the primary manifestation of Purva Bhadrapada energy is inwardly focused on cultivating self-discipline and perfection, oftentimes to an unhealthy degree, sometimes the focus can instead shift outward. This is where Purva Bhadrapada gains a lot of its infamy; Purva Bhadrapada is revered as one of the most "difficult" and "intense" nakshatras among Vedic astrologers. It is an asterism that gets approached with trepidation due to its somber imagery and associations with themes of violence, debauchery, and malevolence. The negative traits linked to Purva Bhadrapada, such as paranoia, pessimism, and hedonism, contribute to its daunting reputation. And for the most part, the fear of this nakshatra is justified. Not only are these individuals capable of doling out punishment themselves through various means like violence, manipulation, curses, etc., but they can also inadvertently bring out the self-destructive or uncontrolled nature of others. They are the types to cause deep introspection and confrontation with one's own shortcomings and fears, often acting as catalysts for irreversible transformation of character.
In terms of Purva Bhadrapada's inherently unbalanced nature, the trajectory is quite clear. These natives are not the type to do anything in moderation and often have an unstable demeanor and sense of self. They will always be pulled towards the polar extremes of anything, but they can flip on their values rapidly following any transformative event. They may occupy the deepest levels of material saturation, completely lost in chasing fame, drugs, sex, and uncontained immoral activities. Yet, paradoxically, they can also find themselves drawn to the heights of spiritual austerity, sometimes even at the same time they are trying to maximize their material standing. This innate propensity for extremes and contradiction manifests in every aspect of their lives, from their relationships, to their goals, to their beliefs, and to their actions. They are esteemed for their amiable disposition, characterized by warmth, thoughtfulness, and a selfless inclination to assist others without seeking acknowledgment. Yet, concurrently, they are often perceived as self-serving, prone to bouts of ill temper, and housing a proclivity towards ego-centricity. Despite appearing outwardly normal a lot of the time, they can be very eccentric. They are the types to lead clandestine lives, harboring secrets and maintaining hidden facets of their personalities and activities, even to those closest to them. This can make them seem nefarious and untrustworthy. Sometimes this is the case, but despite having a reputation for deceit, many of them are known to be sincere and honorable. Yet, underlying however they are being perceived is a deeper struggle to fully identify with anything. This challenge leads to inner conflicts and uncertainties, as they grapple with their sense of self and their place in the world. They are up and down, left and right, constantly in a state of internal conflict that leaves them questioning who they really are. They can feel like they don't know themselves while still being hyper-individualistic and defensive over whatever their current sense of identity is, even though it is likely to change. These contradictions reveal the complexity of their psyche, where outer appearances often mask inner conflicts and contradictory emotions and experiences. Purva Bhadrapada natives navigate the space where boundaries are starting to blur, reflecting the burgeoning singularity of existence in their minds. Due to this, sometimes they can seem like walking contradictions, embodying multiple clashing characteristics at once. For example, while they may harbor a sense of superiority over others, they can also experience deep-seated insecurity and jealousy. They can like to be critical, but cannot handle criticism. Additionally, they might demonstrate a strong desire for independence and self-reliance, yet simultaneously crave validation and approval from those around them. These conflicting traits contribute to their complex and enigmatic nature, making them intriguing yet challenging individuals to understand to others and themselves.
Purva Bhadrapada's inclination towards extremes extends to their pursuit of goals, as they approach certain tasks with unwavering ambition and dedication. They set high standards and are willing to push themselves to extreme limits to get what they want. This relentless drive for perfection and attainment can sometimes lead them to engage in behaviors that are harmful to the well-being of themselves or others, as they struggle to find balance and moderation. At this point, you may be asking, "how is that penance if they are only striving to selfishly get what they want?" Well, the painful truth about this is that they do not really want these things. They are told by others ignorant to their situation that they will be happy when they achieve some kind of abstruse goal set forth for them by society, and they are sent on a goose-chase of material ambition to achieve happiness, but this inevitably only leads to further dissatisfaction. They are met with pain, humiliation, and harsh transformation, but they keep pushing towards their aspiration of material fulfillment. It is only when they get that job, marry that partner, become famous, etc. that they realize it does not bring them happiness or fill them with the sense of purpose they crave. In fact, this realization often leads to intense anger as they confront the worthlessness of what they spent all their time chasing. The journey through Purva Bhadrapada is undeniably arduous, but that is to be expected with such a potent force. They are called to transcend their attachments, lest they be forcefully ripped away. They begin to grapple with an inescapable emptiness they feel when interacting with the world, and this can often lead them to deep feelings of nihilism. Purva Bhadrapada natives are predisposed to being unhappy, and this is not a shallow kind of unhappiness that fades based on external circumstances. Rather, it is a deeply existential depression– a feeling of confused worthlessness and dissatisfaction they often battle with for the duration of their lives. Their experiences and attachments become increasingly burdensome as they grow more aware of the fleeting nature of life. These natives will openly acknowledge the impermanence of worldly intentions, and while this can be both good or bad, it ultimately makes their minds unpredictable and unstable. With the recognition that nothing lasts forever, a new philosophy can be used to justify any action according to moral relativism. If nothing matters in the grand scheme – where whatever you do will eventually fade into obscurity, wiped away with the start of a new cycle – then anything you do doesn’t really matter in the end. This gives these natives a sense of untouchability, a feeling to do whatever they please at their most uninhibited. And it is in this stage of recognizing one’s freedom to do whatever they want is that the test to discern their one’s nature begins. When there is total freedom, the only real concern becomes about what one chooses to do with their freedom. After all, the only harm that can come from doing what you want is ultimately the result of wanting to do something harmful. Sadly, the reality is that most people are not strong enough to fully resist the temptation of evil and would fail this test. It is for this reason that this trial is exclusively administered to individuals who possess a high level of spiritual advancement found under Purva Bhadrapda. Regardless of the difficulties they face, those governed by Purva Bhadrapada have tremendous inner strength and personal resilience, which often manifests in worldly and spiritual achievement and prosperity in various facets of their lives.
Individuals born under the influence of the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra are inherently inclined towards detachment from external influences. This detachment often leads them down two distinct paths. Some choose to embrace a life unbound by societal norms, driven solely by their inner convictions. These individuals seek to experience life to the fullest, embracing both its joys and challenges. However, if they feel unfulfilled, they may turn to darker pursuits in search of excitement. Conversely, others utilize their detachment for spiritual advancement, renouncing materialism in favor of a disciplined quest for higher truths. In both cases, detachment becomes a defining trait, shaping their lives in divergent yet meaningful ways. Whether they become revolutionary leaders or appear lazy due to their selective motivation, their actions are stirred only by what truly invigorates their souls. Their inner character often changes with time. They can start out seeming quite innocent and fragile, and a lot of the time they will have something about them that invites torment, be it their big and eccentric personalities, their height, their weight, their looks, etc. This often leads people to perceive them as different and vulnerable. Unfortunately, this vulnerability often attracts individuals who seek to exploit, victimize, or corrupt them. There's a noticeable pattern of others attempting to take advantage of their perceived weakness, whether it be through just trying to make them feel bad, manipulating them, coercing them to do things they do not want to, or forcing them to be alone by treating them as outcasts. This predatory behavior can leave these individuals feeling isolated, betrayed, and miserable, further fueling their inner turmoil and sense of disillusionment with the world around them. However, this also serves to strengthen them. During the course of their lives, they will experience a series of external transformations that will change who they are. While their soft and innocent demeanor may still be present in some ways, there will be a new darker side to their nature. The inner transformations that Purva Bhadrapada natives undergo change them into stronger, more hardened versions of themselves. This alteration can manifest in tendencies towards violence, aggression, deceit, manipulation, etc., yet at the same time, it also equips them with the strength and capability to protect others when needed. As they navigate the complexities of life, they become formidable forces, possessing the resilience and detachment to confront challenges head-on along with the capacity to wield their strength for both good and evil.
Purva Bhadrapada natives exhibit a curious mix of flippancy and seriousness, often displaying a casual attitude towards many topics yet simultaneously exuding an air of solemnity in regards to topics concerning things like philosophical and existential inquiries. They possess a keen intellect characterized by innovation and depth of gnosis, which lends to their excellence in fields like science and research. Additionally, they are known to have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and information gathering brought about by a powerful yearning for deeper truth. While they may have a religious inclination, their focus lies more on unraveling the essence of spirituality rather than adhering rigidly to dogma. As a result of their approach to religion, they can sometimes be critical of conventional religious practices, which rely heavily on dogmatic rules and rituals. These natives are generally liberal and disdain hypocrisy as well as superficiality, valuing authenticity and depth in both thought and action, regardless of how much it clashes with anything else. Despite their show of outward confidence, they often wrestle with inner self-doubt and a crippling fear of failure, which leaves little room for optimism when they are faced with setbacks. While they typically prefer to be alone, they may inadvertently rely on others when seeking to escape the monotony of their everyday lives. This can make them seem unreliable or inconsistent when it comes to their relationships. They are driven by an innate desire to transcend mediocrity and to be perceived as exceptional. This drive for superior distinction stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and a fear of judgment, compelling them to constantly push the boundaries and strive for success through originality in all aspects of their lives. In their personal relationships, Purva Bhadrapada natives may struggle to balance their need for independence with their desire for connection. Generally, in their interactions with others, Purva Bhadrapada natives are intense yet detached. Despite their desire for authenticity and closeness in relationships, they may struggle to express their openly, fearing rejection or misunderstanding. This internal conflict between their need for connection and their fear of vulnerability can create barriers to intimacy, causing them to retreat through self-imposed isolation. Additionally, their critical nature and high standards can sometimes alienate others, as they can come across as overly judgmental or demanding of their fitness, partners, colleagues, etc. They value depth and sincerity in relationships, but sometimes it can be too much to where they end up pushing others away with their intensity. Despite these challenges, they are still often very empathetic and understanding, and they can offer support to people when needed.
Before I get into the padas, I want to give some examples. I do not want to go into much detail or take up too much time with this, but given the very complicated nature of this nakshatra, I feel that it is necessary to provide media representations for people to look into if they are interested in knowing more about how it manifests: Martin Scorsese PB Moon and Andrew Garfield PB ASC (Silence Official Trailer (2016) - Paramount Pictures), Billie Eilish PB ASC (Billie Eilish - bury a friend (Official Music Video)), Jack Black PB Moon (School of Rock (2003) Trailer #1 Movieclips Classic Trailers), Dylan O'brien PB Moon (AMERICAN ASSASSIN - Official Trailer - HD (Dylan O'Brien, Michael Keaton), Logan-Marshall Green (Upgrade Trailer #1 (2018) Movieclips Trailers), Paul Walker PB Moon (Hours TRAILER (2013) - Paul Walker Movie HD), Bill Skarsgard PB Moon (The Crow - Official Trailer (2024) Bill Skarsgård, FKA twigs, Danny Huston), Olivia Wilde PB Sun (A VIGILANTE Official HD International Trailer Starring Olivia Wilde) & (The Lazarus Effect Official Trailer #1 (2015) - Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass Movie HD), John Stamos PB ASC (John Stamos Stars in "Secrets of Eden" Lifetime), Hozier PB Sun (the lyrics and imagery of this video are extremely Purva Bhadrapada) Hozier - Take Me To Church), Kaya Scoledario PB Sun (Spinning Out Official Trailer Netflix), Ryan Gosling PB ASC (THE FALL GUY Official Trailer 2 (Universal Studios) - HD), Camila Mendes PB Moon (Do Revenge Official Trailer Netflix), Bryan Cranston PB Sun (Breaking Bad Trailer), Sabrina Carpenter PB Moon and Milo Manheim PB Sun (Sabrina Carpenter - Feather (Official Video) Alexandra Daddario PB Sun (Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches Trailer: Starring Alexandra Daddario AMC+), Jacob Elordi PB Moon (2 HEARTS Official Trailer (2020) Jacob Elordi, Tiera Skovbye), Tom Blyth PB Moon (Billy The Kid (EPIX 2022 Series) Official Trailer), Daniel Gillies PB Sun (COMING HOME IN THE DARK Trailer (2021) Daniel Gillies Suspense Thriller Movie), Matthew Gray Gubler PB Sun (KING KNIGHT Trailer (2022) Angela Sarafyan, Matthew Gray Gubler), Jon Hamm (Corner Office (2023) Official Trailer - Jon Hamm, Danny Pudi, Sarah Gadon), Rachel Weisz PB Sun + Moon and Sam Claflin PB Moon (MY COUSIN RACHEL Official Trailer FOX Searchlight), Chris Pine PB Moon (Jack Reacher Movie Trailer), Madison Beer PB Sun (Madison Beer - Make You Mine (Official Music Video), Sharon Stone PB Sun (Basic Instinct - Trailer (1080p)), and Michael Jackson PB Moon (Michael Jackson - Thriller (Official 4K Video).
Padas
(mostly for Moon) They all tend to be skinny to middle weight until they get older, where they either become more muscular or plump/curvy.
1st – The first pada of Purva Bhadrapada, falling in the Aries Navamsa, signifies a stage of primal energy and raw ambition. With Mars as their guiding force, they exhibit a relentless drive to achieve their goals, refusing to be deterred by obstacles or setbacks. However, being the initial pada of the nakshatra just leaving the stage of Shatabhisha, this quarter is the least spiritually developed. While they may possess great worldly ambition and the capacity for success, they may also be prone to ego-driven actions and an overly narrow focus on material pursuits. They can get into occultism or spirituality, but it is usually an attempt to further themselves in the material realm. Natives born under this pada possess a combative nature, always ready to engage in confrontations to defend their beliefs or assert their dominance. They tend to be more mentally aggressive than physically, but nonetheless their volatile temperament can lead to physical disputes as well when they are provoked enough. They know they can be very damaging when they lose control, so they will do everything in their power to prevent escalation. Ironically, this can make them seem passive. They typically exhibit anxious tendencies while attempting to conceal or downplay their feelings of worry. Natives of this pada are extremely passionate, but they have a tendency to constantly compare themselves to others, which ultimately can lead them to disregard their efforts to focus on surpassing someone else's. This propensity of theirs for aggression, envy, and competitiveness can strain relationships and hinder their personal growth, as they become consumed by their own desires for dominance and validation. They are usually medium tall with a wide forehead and low eyebrows.
2nd – The second pada of Purva Bhadrapada, ruled by Venus in the Taurus Navamsa, embodies a stage of sensual indulgence and creative expression. Individuals born under this pada are drawn to the occult and mysteries of the unseen, often delving into practices such as astrology and black magic. There is a bit of detachment from the mysticism of it at this stage though. They may prefer to look at it through a scientific or philosophical perspective as opposed to one that embraces faith in the divine. While their interest in these esoteric realms may lead to proficiency in such arts, it also heightens their propensity to lose track of their life's direction, becoming absorbed in the pursuit of hidden knowledge and power. Natives of this pada are characterized by their attractive physique, with beautiful broad teeth and strikingly captivating eyes that draw others to them. They possess an innate charm that makes them highly appealing to the opposite sex, and they are not hesitant to indulge in their darker desires and fantasies. Their creativity knows no bounds, as they constantly innovate and explore new avenues of expression. However, despite their magnetic allure and creative flair, individuals of this pada are prone to indulgence and excess, particularly when it comes to satisfying their sensual appetites. Their pursuit of pleasure and gratification can sometimes lead them astray, causing them to lose sight of their responsibilities and priorities. This stage of Purva Bhadrapada is more spiritually evolved than the prior, but it is still in the accumulation phase of Aquarius and the 11th house. Despite their outward charm, they may struggle to find stability and balance in their lives. They are prone to accidents.
3rd – The third pada of Purva Bhadrapada falls in the Gemini Navamsa and is ruled by Mercury. Natives born under this pada embody the mental side of Purva Bhadrapada, which is very focused on cultivating critical reasoning and gathering information, emphasizing communication, learning, and adaptability. Individuals born under this pada are intellectually inclined, constantly seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. They are playful and curious by nature, approaching life with a sense of wonder and exploration. Their energy is expressed through communication and expression, as they excel in articulating their thoughts and ideas. They have a natural gift for language and may find success in fields such as writing, teaching, or public speaking. Despite their playful demeanor, they are still very serious about their pursuits, driven by a deep-seated desire for personal growth and self-improvement. Natives of this pada tend to be peaceful and honorable, seeking harmony and balance in their interactions with others. However, their mercurial nature can sometimes manifest as manipulation or deceit, particularly when they perceive it necessary to achieve their goals. Nonetheless, they are skilled at navigating social situations and may possess a knack for making money through their cleverness and resourcefulness. In terms of appearance, individuals of this pada may have gaunt lower cheeks, high cheekbones, a narrow and defined jawline, and a medium stature. These physical characteristics complement their sharp wit and agile minds, making them engaging in social settings.
4th – The fourth pada of Purva Bhadrapada is ruled by the Moon in Cancer Navamsa. This is the most spiritually advanced of all the padas and tends to be among the most intense. At this stage, individuals born under this pada have either undergone profound inner transformation, shedding their attachment to worldly desires and material gains for the sake of aligning with the cosmic order, or they have fallen for the empty temptations of material life, leading them to a deeper state of moral decay. This pada in the sequence of this nakshatra symbolizes the finalization of death, and just like when we die, the impact of our lives can no longer be altered. You are called to surrender all you have acquired to the purifying flames of the spiritual fire, relinquishing personal benefit for the greater good, and if you fail, your soul will be lost to another cycle of rebirth. This represents the height of the nakshatra's power to manifest, it can come to be either an uplifting force for individuals and humanity as a whole, or as a potentially dangerous influence. Those born under this pada are deeply engaged in their own spiritual pursuits, usually guided by a sense of purpose and higher calling. They possess an innate magnetism and power that exerts influence over others and the world around them. Despite the intensity of their spiritual journey, individuals of this pada tend to enjoy good longevity and robust health, thanks to their deep connection with the cosmic energies. They are often perceived charismatic individuals, drawing others to them with their presence. However, their innate power comes with a responsibility to wield it wisely, as they hold the potential to bring about significant positive change or destruction, depending on how they choose to channel it.
Caste
Purva Bhadrapada belongs to the Brahmin or priestly/scholarly caste. This classification is based on the inherent qualities and tendencies of individuals born under this nakshatra, rather than their family lineage, as seen in contemporary caste systems. In Vedic astrology and Hindu tradition, each nakshatra is associated with as caste, thereby linking them to specific attributes, occupations, and societal roles. Brahmin is positioned as the highest caste and is given the most power and responsibility, both socially and spiritually. In classical texts, the Brahmin caste is exalted for its dedication to scholarship, spirituality, and moral rectitude. Brahmins are depicted as the keepers of sacred knowledge, entrusted with the preservation and dissemination of ancient scriptures and teachings. They are revered for their intellectual prowess, philosophical insights, and commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards. Brahmins are expected to lead lives of austerity, simplicity, and self-discipline, setting examples of virtue and righteousness for society. Additionally, they play important roles in leading religious rituals, ceremonies, and spiritual practices, acting as intermediaries between individuals and the divine. Their contributions also extend beyond religious and intellectual realms though, as they also provide guidance, counseling, and healing to individuals and communities. Overall, Brahmins are portrayed as paragons of virtue, wisdom, and enlightenment, embodying the highest ideals of human excellence and divine knowledge as described in classical texts, acting as oases of wisdom by guiding society not only in matters of spirituality but also in areas such as literature, philosophy, and science. Their primary occupations are mostly associated with administration of all sectors of society, teaching, healing, and providing spiritual guidance. Its intersection with Aquarius Rashi on the ecliptic plane may also relate it to Kshatriya and Shudra.
Gunas
The nakshatras each represent the different gunas at different levels of functioning. For this asterism, it might be confusing to find out that, despite all of its negative connotations, it is associated primarily with Sattva or purity/balance. This mainly stems from this Nakshatra's capacity for penance, spiritualism, and generosity. Overall, Purva Bhadrapada is associated with two levels of Sattva and one of Rajas. Sattva prevails at the physical and mental levels, while Rajas predominates at the spiritual level. At the physical level, individuals born under Purva Bhadrapada exhibit qualities of purity, harmony, and balance. They are often composed, grounded, and possess a sense of stability in their physical endeavors. Mentally, they tend to exhibit clarity, wisdom, and a penchant for introspection when they are only focused on engaging their rational mind. This can get muddy when they try to incorporate less tangible aspects into their thinking though. At the spiritual level, the influence of Rajas emerges, driving them towards spiritual growth and evolution but also threatening them with the struggle of inner turmoil. With Rajas at the most personal level of the spirit, this can cause a onstant seeking pf external validation and gratification, which leads to things such as constantly chasing after fleeting desires and pleasures from their lack of contentment. Additionally, the intense drive associated with Rajas may result in overexertion, burnout, and a disregard for self-care. It can lead to an inflated ego, arrogance, and a tendency towards manipulative or self-serving behavior. Therefore, while Rajas can propel individuals towards spiritual evolution, it also poses challenges that need to be navigated with mindfulness and self-awareness. Together with the heavy influence of Sattva, Rajas in this nakshatra creates a spiritual restlessness that works to propel these natives to actively engage in spiritual practices, seeking to transcend worldly limitations and attain spiritual liberation. It comes with risk, but this is a necessary trial.
Gana
Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra falls under the category of Manushya Gana, or "human/mixed species." This designation speaks to the inherent qualities and tendencies of individuals born under this nakshatra, aligning them with human characteristics and behaviors. People belonging to the Manushya Gana Nakshatras, including Purva Bhadrapada, place value on their self-worth and esteem. They often enjoy good physical attributes and are blessed with fortune, leading comfortable lives. With warm and friendly personalities, they exhibit care and affection towards their family, friends, and loved ones, readily offering assistance to those in need. However, they also prioritize their own interests and benefits. They are known for their warm and caring nature, and while they may appear busy if approached, they are capable of balancing their personal and professional lives effectively. The path of those born under Manushya Gana nakshatras is undefined. They possess the potential to exhibit both positive and negative qualities, akin to the diverse nature of humanity itself. They have the potential to be even more evil than the Rakshas and even more good than the Devas. While some may lean towards acts of kindness and generosity, others may display tendencies that are less altruistic. This blend of qualities makes them a complex combination qualities you might see for the Deva and Rakshasa Ganas. Keep in mind that you should look at the dominant Gana in your chart to gain a better understanding of how this may apply to you.
Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did. I will have to continue this in a third part because I'm out of room on this post. Afterwards, I will be starting on Shravana Nakshatra soon, and then later on Anuradha.

1995 Kohn:
Der Mikrowellenakustikeffekt, ein Phänomen, das die Übertragung von Sprachnachrichten über Mikrowellen ermöglicht, hat in der Kommunikationstechnologie Beachtung gefunden. Die Forschungsgemeinschaft, angeführt von Einrichtungen wie dem Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), hat intensiv an der Erforschung und Entwicklung von Systemen gearbeitet, die den Mikrowellenakustikeffekt für die Stimmenübertragung nutzen. Dass die Forschungen zur Mikrowellensprachübertragung von Sharp und Grove fortgesetzt worden sind, zeigt sich auch in einer Ausschreibung aus dem Jahr 1995 des Verteidigungsministeriums der Vereinigten Staaten mit folgendem Titel: „Kommunikation mittels des Mikrowellenakustikeffekts“. [[1]](#_ftn1) In dieser Ausschreibung wird auf eine zuvor durchgeführte Machbarkeitsstudie des Armstrong Laboratory/OEDR verwiesen, die die Realisierbarkeit der Sprachkommunikation mittels des Mikrowellenakustikeffekts bestätigte:
„The purpose of the program proposed here is to extend the results of a recent feasibility study, performed for the Armstrong Laboratory/OEDR. The study found that voice communications, via the microwave auditory effect, are highly feasible.”[[2]](#_ftn2)
„Der Zweck des hier vorgeschlagenen Programms besteht darin, die Ergebnisse einer kürzlich durchgeführten Machbarkeitsstudie zu erweitern, die für das Armstrong-LaboOEDR durchgeführt wurde. Die Studie ergab, dass Sprachkommunikation über den akustischen Mikrowelleneffekt sehr gut machbar ist.“
In einem neuen Forschungsprogramm geht es der Projektbeschreibung nun darum, eine revolutionäre Kommunikationsform basierend auf dem akustischen Mikrowelleneffekt zu entwickeln. Diese Idee verspreche der Programmbeschreibung gemäß einer natürlichen Schnittstelle zu sein, die ohne vorherige Schulung effizient genutzt werden kann und einen effizienten Betrieb und eine effektive Kommunikation biete. Die erste Phase dieses Projekts wird sich auf die Identifizierung potenzieller Anwendungen konzentrieren und die Entwicklung von Hardware- und Systemkonzepten vorantreiben, die für Labor- und Demonstrationszwecke geeignet sind. Die Ergebnisse dieser Forschung sind nicht öffentlich verfügbar, und Anfragen nach Informationen unter dem Freedom of Information Act wurden abgelehnt. Dabei ist von einer Weiterentwicklung der ursprünglichen Vorrichtungen des WRAIR und der funktionell ähnlichen Erfindungen von Stocklin und Brunkan auszugehen.
Die Implikationen dieser Technologie sind weitreichend. Sie verspricht nicht nur eine effizientere und möglicherweise sicherere Kommunikation in militärischen Umgebungen, sondern birgt auch das Potenzial für innovative zivile Anwendungen.

1.1.1.2 1996 USAF:

1996 USAF: Ein Bericht der US Air Force aus dem Jahr 1996 beleuchtet die ambitionierten Ziele der zukünftigen Forschung auf diesem Gebiet und zeichnet ein faszinierendes, aber auch beunruhigendes Bild der Möglichkeiten auf dem Gebiet der hochauflösenden Sprachübertragung und Gedankenkontrolle mittels elektromagnetischer Energie. Die darin vorgestellten Dual-Use-Technologien wecken unweigerlich Assoziationen zu 'Mind Control'. [[3]](#_ftn3)
„Prior to the mid-21st century, there will be a virtual explosion of knowledge in the field of neuroscience. We will have achieved a clear understanding of how the human brain works, how it really controls the various functions of the body, and how it can be manipulated (both positively and negatively). One can envision the development of electromagnetic energy sources, the output of which can be pulsed, shaped, and focused, that can couple with the human body in a fashion that will allow one to prevent voluntary muscular movements, control emotions (and thus actions), produce sleep, transmit suggestions, interfere with both short-term and long-term memory, produce an experience set, and delete an experience set. This will open the door for the development of some novel capabilities that can be used in armed conflict, in terrorist/hostage situations, and in training. New weapons that offer the opportunity of control of an adversary without resorting to a lethal solution or to collateral casualties can be developed around this concept. This would offer significant improvements in the capabilities of our special operation forces“
„Vor der Mitte des 21. Jahrhunderts wird es eine regelrechte Explosion des Wissens im Bereich der Neurowissenschaften geben. Wir werden ein klares Verständnis davon erlangt haben, wie das menschliche Gehirn funktioniert, wie es die verschiedenen Funktionen des Körpers tatsächlich steuert und wie es manipuliert werden kann (sowohl positiv als auch negativ). Man kann sich die Entwicklung von elektromagnetischen Energiequellen vorstellen, deren Output gepulst, geformt und fokussiert werden kann und die sich mit dem menschlichen Körper in einer Weise koppeln lassen, die es ermöglicht, freiwillige Muskelbewegungen zu verhindern, Emotionen (und damit Handlungen) zu kontrollieren, Schlaf zu erzeugen, Vorschläge zu übermitteln, sowohl das Kurzzeit- als auch das Langzeitgedächtnis zu beeinträchtigen, ein Erfahrungsspektrum zu erzeugen und ein Erfahrungsspektrum zu löschen. Dies wird die Tür zur Entwicklung neuartiger Fähigkeiten öffnen, die in bewaffneten Konflikten, in Terroristen-/Geiselsituationen und im Training eingesetzt werden können. Neue Waffen, die die Möglichkeit bieten, einen Gegner zu kontrollieren, ohne auf eine tödliche Lösung oder auf Kollateralschäden zurückzugreifen, können auf Grundlage dieses Konzepts entwickelt werden. Dies würde die Fähigkeiten unserer Spezialeinsatzkräfte erheblich verbessern.“
Dieser Bericht der US-Luftwaffe legt dar, wie die Fortführung der Forschung im Bereich der elektromagnetischen Sprachübertragung es ermöglichen könnte, mit ausgewählten Zielpersonen auf eine Art und Weise zu kommunizieren, die tiefe Beunruhigung auslöst und stark an Methoden der psychologischen Beeinflussung erinnert. [[4]](#_ftn4)
„It would also appear possible to create high fidelity speech in the human body, raising the possibility of covert suggestion and psychological direction. When a high power microwave pulse in the gigahertz range strikes the human body, a very small temperature perturbation occurs. This is associated with a sudden expansion of the slightly heated tissue. This expansion is fast enough to produce an acoustic wave. If a pulse stream is used, it should be possible to create an internal acoustic field in the 5-15 kilohertz range, which is audible. Thus, it may be possible to „talk“ to selected adversaries in a fashion that would be most disturbing to them.“[[5]](#_ftn5)
„Es scheint ebenfalls möglich, innerhalb des menschlichen Körpers Sprache mit hoher Wiedergabetreue zu erzeugen, was die Möglichkeit einer verdeckten Suggestion und psychologischen Lenkung eröffnet. Trifft ein hochenergetischer Mikrowellenimpuls im Gigahertz-Bereich auf den menschlichen Körper, kommt es zu einer minimalen Temperaturveränderung. Diese ist mit einer plötzlichen Expansion des leicht erwärmten Gewebes verbunden. Diese Expansion erfolgt schnell genug, um eine akustische Welle zu erzeugen. Bei Verwendung eines Impulsstroms sollte es möglich sein, ein internes akustisches Feld im Bereich von 5-15 Kilohertz zu erzeugen, das hörbar ist. Es könnte folglich machbar sein, auf eine Weise mit ausgewählten Gegnern zu ‚sprechen‘, die sie zutiefst beunruhigt.“
Die Implikation, dass es machbar ist, innerhalb des menschlichen Körpers Sprache in High-Fidelity (HiFi-)-Qualität zu generieren, was eine subtile Manipulation und psychologische Steuerung des Individuums ermöglichen würde, ist bemerkenswert. Durch die Erzeugung eines internen akustischen Feldes im hörbaren Bereich von 5-15 Kilohertz könnte es machbar sein, Sprache mit hoher Wiedergabetreue direkt in den Körper eines Menschen zu übertragen. Dies würde die Möglichkeit eröffnen, verdeckte Suggestionen und psychologische Steuerungen durchzuführen. Die Erzeugung einer akustischen Welle durch schnelle Gewebeexpansion infolge eines Mikrowellenpulses könnte theoretisch genutzt werden, um gezielte auditive Erfahrungen mit hoher Klangtreue zu erzeugen. Dies eröffnet Perspektiven für eine Kommunikationsform mit ausgewählten Gegnern, die diese als äußerst störend empfinden würden.
Der Auszug aus dem Bericht über Klassifizierungen elektromagnetischer Waffen, die Mikrowellen zur psychologischen Kriegsführung nutzen, wirkt wie ein Vorgeschmack auf zukünftige Kampfstrategien. [[6]](#_ftn6) Doch die Realität solcher psychologischen Einflussmöglichkeiten ist bereits gegeben, wie die Existenz umfangreicher öffentlich zugänglicher Literatur und klar definierter Patente belegt. Die Forschung auf diesem Gebiet reicht bis in die 1950er Jahre zurück.
~EEG-Klonen (Remote EEG~**):** Ein weiterer Aspekt des Berichts befasst sich mit der biologischen Prozesskontrolle über elektromagnetische Felder, insbesondere dem EEG-Klonen (Remote EEG):
„In comparison to the discussion in the paragraphs above, the concept of imprinting an experience set is highly speculative, but nonetheless, highly exciting. Modern electromagnetic scattering theory raises the prospect that ultrashort pulse scattering through the human brain can result in reflected signals that can be used to construct a reliable estimate of the degree of central nervous system arousal. The concept behind this "remote EEG" is to scatter off of action potentials or ensembles of action potentials in major central nervous system tracts. Assuming we will understand how our skills are imprinted and recalled, it might be possible to take this concept one step further and duplicate the experience set in another individual. The prospect of providing a "been there-done that" knowledge base could provide a revolutionary change in our approach to specialized training. How this can be done or even if it can be done are significant unknowns. The impact of success would boggle the mind!“
„Im Vergleich zu den obigen Ausführungen ist das Konzept der Prägung eines Erfahrungsspektrums hoch spekulativ, aber dennoch höchst aufregend. Die moderne Theorie der elektromagnetischen Streuung eröffnet die Aussicht, dass ultrakurze Pulsstreuungen durch das menschliche Gehirn reflektierte Signale erzeugen können, die zur Erstellung einer zuverlässigen Schätzung des Erregungsgrades des zentralen Nervensystems verwendet werden können. Das Konzept hinter diesem "remote EEG" besteht darin, von Aktionspotenzialen oder Ensembles von Aktionspotenzialen in großen Trakten des zentralen Nervensystems abzustrahlen. Angenommen, wir werden verstehen, wie unsere Fähigkeiten eingeprägt und abgerufen werden, könnte es möglich sein, dieses Konzept einen Schritt weiter zu führen und das Erfahrungsspektrum in einem anderen Individuum zu duplizieren. Die Aussicht, eine Wissensbasis bereitzustellen, die einem "been there-done that"-Erlebnis entspricht, könnte eine revolutionäre Veränderung in unserem Ansatz zur spezialisierten Ausbildung bewirken. Wie dies erreicht werden kann oder ob es überhaupt möglich ist, sind bedeutende Unbekannte. Der Erfolg wäre überwältigend!“
Das EEG-Klonen basiert auf der Idee, dass ultrakurze Pulsstreuungen durch das menschliche Gehirn reflektierte Signale erzeugen können, die eine Schätzung des Erregungsgrades des zentralen Nervensystems ermöglichen. Diese Signale könnten theoretisch genutzt werden, um neuronale Muster eines Individuums zu erfassen und in einem anderen zu replizieren, was durch eine Art EEG-basierter Wissensbasis eine revolutionäre Veränderung im spezialisierten Training bedeuten könnte.
Beide Konzepte zeigen faszinierende Möglichkeiten, aber auch erhebliche Risiken und Missbrauchspotentiale auf. Die Möglichkeit, Fähigkeiten und Erinnerungen zu "kopieren", könnte gravierende Konsequenzen für das Verständnis von Persönlichkeit und Individualität haben. Eine solche Technologie könnte leicht für militärische oder kommerzielle Zwecke missbraucht werden, was zu einem erheblichen Machtungleichgewicht und möglichen Verletzungen der Privatsphäre und der Menschenrechte führen könnte.

I need to create a diagram that shows routing of web services between different systems (in two countries) via a shared layer incorporating two different middlewares (simplified diagram attached as an example). There are only a few interfaces in the attached example, but we need to show about 70 interfaces.
We already have a tabular representation of this (a list of interfaces with client and host system), but we need a diagram/map that shows the routing of each web service.
The problems I encountered with the approach shown in the attached example are:

1. It is difficult to see where a web service enters and exits each middleware (you need to look for the interface number and you might miss an arrow exiting if there is more than one - i.e. it isn't always a one to one mapping)
2. Lines crossing each other make this difficult to read

Is there a standard form for this type of thing?

If the vial says 250 mg test (Cyp) is that incl. The weight of the ester? How much test will actually be available after a pin....
I'm seeing my urologist next week and want to switch from self- to doctors prescribed TRT. Went on due to low T 2 years ago and last year, after being open to my doctor he asked if I wanted to see a clinic. Had an appointment with an urologist 2 months later, bloodwork came out perfect and due to personal reasons we decided to postpone a decision how to get support from the clinic to the next appointment and continue to do it myself.
Next week after blood analysis I want to ask to switch to the clinic prescribed test directly without shutting myself down and get bloods done after 8 weeks and pick it up from there. These are some options.
Since I started two years ago (48 male, 110 to 150 mg test cyp per week, intra muscular, 3 pins per week) I have written a code in Excel that calculates and plots the saturation level and max percentage deviation between pins based on half live, dosage and pin frequency. Last year I was spot on but did not tell the clinic that I wrote an algorithm and keep track.
Next week and want to come well prepared and show him the algorithm and how much test I administer, why I use cyp, and why ik keep my fluctuations between 10%. He will ask since the bloodwork is depending on my last pin. But.....what should I take as test value? 250mg/ml or should I distract 70mg for the oil? Meaning I only get 72% of the test available in my system? And, in the process of breaking down the ester to free the test, is some lost in the process?
