ANAMNESIS
Headphones required. Slow screen flicker (under 1 Hz) in later sessions; reduced-motion settings are respected.
You are Subject 0374.
March 1983. A joint SRI / Monroe annex is training remote viewers on Gateway audio. Six sessions. Each one puts a genuine binaural-beat sequence in your headphones, then runs a remote-viewing trial: the target is committed before you look, three decoys are drawn from other categories, you judge blind, and your hit rate is reported against chance with no adjustment.
The memoranda change between reads. The redactions move. Somewhere around the fourth session the program stops being sure what year it is, and a novelist from Fullerton starts turning up in the transcripts.
- Real binaural audio. Stereo beat frequencies generated live in your browser, not recordings. No claims are made about what it does.
- Honest trials. Target locked before the impressions phase; anomalous trials are flagged and kept out of your statistics.
- Sketch or describe. Draw with mouse or finger, or record descriptors alone.
- Text-mode CRT. One phosphor, one typeface, a character grid. No GUI.
- Progress is saved in your browser. Burn the file whenever you like.
Built on three real threads: Philip K. Dick's 1977 Metz address and his 2-3-74 experience; the SRI remote-viewing protocol (Puthoff, Targ, Swann) that became Project Stargate; and the 1983 US Army analysis of the Gateway Process. One brief passage of Dick is quoted; all other prose is original. Full sources inside the program.
