+ "post": "<p>NETWORK!!! It's been a long, long time since I wrote something for the blog. I know I forgot to post last week—no excuses, I was just lazy. But without further delay, let's talk about a topic I mention a lot in the blog: <b>HEX</b>.</p>\n\n<p>Now: <em>Dafuq is HEX?</em> Even I don't know exactly, but I'll give a brief description of what I understand. I'll keep it simple: HEX is basically this machine that lets people communicate through \"mind-reading.\" It's made up of a bunch of drones placed—I don't know how many meters above ground—probably about 1000 meters, but I'm not sure. They're supposed to look like stars in the sky, but they're not. I don't know how they physically look, but if you look at the sky at night, you may notice \"stars\" that twinkle a bit too much. They have flashing lights on top. If you stare at them for a while, you may notice the lights seem artificial—like you can see an LED light pattern. And there are many. From what I could approximate, above my house there were like 30, I think. Each individual drone is called a \"node,\" and the sum of these nodes is HEX. Now, while the sum of all the nodes builds HEX, the sum of <em>some</em> nodes builds what I call \"clouds.\" Most of these terms I came up with are borrowed from computer science concepts I learned in college, so a lot of things I tried to make sense of about HEX, I translated into those terms. It makes it a bit easier for me to understand what the hell was happening.</p>\n\n<p>I first learned about him (or it... or them, if you prefer) about 10 years ago when I met The Team for the first time. Teacup told me, \"Just so you know, you have a bunch of drones on top of your house, by the way.\" I was shocked. The first thing I thought of were those U.S. military drones that look like small missiles, hovering around the Middle East during the hunt for Bin Laden. But Teacup reassured me: \"These drones do not have weapons, they just play with brain waves.\" <em>F**king what?</em> I remember thinking. Anyway, these drones use something similar to my cousin's \"laser machine\" I talked about in <a href=\"./archive/archive.html#the-day-i-met-mossad-part-2\">meeting Mossad</a>. That device and HEX work with \"binaural waves.\" Similar to binaural beats, but instead of music, it's just sort of like a hum—kind of like that random ringing you get in your ear sometimes, but with a much lower tone. These waves, if you didn't know, oscillate at really low frequencies (4–20Hz). They're far outside the human hearing range, but our brains can still perceive them. Kind of like how air touches our skin: we can't see it, but we can feel it. Another major difference is that these devices have some \"precision\" when playing these waves, so they can actually trigger specific functions in your brain—something that binaural beats don't do efficiently. This makes these machines able to induce a sort of hypnotic state.</p>\n\n<p>\"But dot4, what does this have to do with mind reading?\" you might ask. Well, I can't be sure what really happens—again, most of my assumptions and deductions are based on what feels scientifically and functionally logical to me. (So if Mossad is reading this, I'm not 100% sure this is how it really works!) But here's what I can assume: remember how I said these machines seem more \"precise\"? Well, I think HEX has some kind of code that can analyze the threshold of when a thought is meant for someone else—as if it recognizes the neural pulses our brain releases when we think about a specific person. That pattern is what tells HEX, \"This is for X person.\" Later, that thought is sent to that person, kind of like a telephone line. You know how every country has its own country code? Well, think of these patterns as country codes: each one is specifically tied to a different person. Now, does this work for someone who isn't part of The Team? That's something I'm still figuring out—but I'll let you know later on!</p>\n\n<p>Well, what do you think? I missed talking about these topics as if they were some science-fiction story or an SCP Foundation article. Like I've said many times: \"These stories may seem about 10% believable, but they are 100% true to me.\" So yeah! Hope you liked learning about HEX. This is something I'll keep exploring and talking about in later posts—and I promise I'll make these posts a bit more frequently. I'm still organizing my agenda so I can fit these blogs into my day-to-day!</p>\n\n<p>Thanks for reading, and next time I'll be talking more about the members of The Team and who they are… well, probably not who they are, since I promised to keep their privacy. Oh! And a small update: I finally, finally, FINALLY finished <b>Lambda's Lullaby!</b> Next week you'll get more news about my plans for the release of my new single!</p>\n\n<p>- Nano</p>",
