The spirits :
My dear friends, the fraternization which unites us is spread out over an endless day where time cuts out repetitive moments in your dark reasons. We are always at the side of these young troubadours, dreamers and go-getters, always ready to embark on the tumults of the test even if it should cost them. We are not following you because we are not showing any movement, we are there, that’s all, listening to your moods, following your walks and the discoveries you make. Your ages urge you and smile in front of this touching and moving spectacle. Things are not late, you are not late, you have not missed a single appointment. Although your natural laziness makes you take great detours, you are never outside the realm of the possible.We are therefore responding to your call, aware of the merits of your approach. You also need to be aware of the seriousness of your business. Enthusiasm exceeded, you are in the era of maturity.
Jean-Luc:
During the last automatic writing session, you told us that the dish was good but that when we experiment with the new configuration that goes with it, we will be faced with problems. Can you guide us on the kind of problems that we might encounter in order to anticipate some solutions?
Spirits:
Yes of course. The problems encountered will be related on the one hand to the focal length of the dish and on the other hand to its reflecting surface.
Jean-Luc:
But would you have an advisor to give us to overcome these difficulties?
Spirits:
Yes, make the parabola / experimental subject distance adjustable. As for the reflective surface,
you will need to get an icy surface that is unlikely for you today. In other words another much more « fine » parable do you understand?
Jean-Luc:
Well, we will start to experiment with this material and depending on the results we will move towards acquiring a parabola with an icy surface.
Spirits:
Yes, but do you understand our shortcuts?
Brahim:
Does that mean that we are going to get our hands on this parable?
Spirits:
When we wrote « fine »
Yéliz:
Conditions will be better if the dish is thin!
Jean-Luc:
So I don’t think it’s a question of thickness. When the spirits speak of fine parable, they imply the quality of the reflection.
Spirits:
And the curve!
Jean-Luc:
If we use a dish with a mirror effect, it would be better?
Spirits:
It’s an idea close to what you are aiming for.
Jean-Luc:
When you spoke of finesse, you meant a surface close to glass, is that what you mean?
Spirits: Yes.
Laurie:
But does that exist?
Jean-Luc:
I think it can be done.
Spirits:
Yes, but it seems beyond your means.
Jean-Luc:
We will find a solution, we must remain confident!
Laurie:
But suddenly I think of all these big parables that exist in the world. If they were so fine… or is it really specific to this workshop?
Spirits:
You are moving towards the production of a restitution hologram. To enable you to achieve this effect without using a device incompatible with your technical orientations, you will have to reproduce in large a minor holographic effect. That is to say a luminous optical effect, a sort of mirage which will be an excellent support for our visible manifestations. However, this principle presupposes mirror parabolas of very high quality. It is not the same for the other forms of use of the concave principle.
Jean-Luc:
But will we have to find a very high quality dish?
Spirits:
Two parables …
(The assistance seems surprised by this precision!)
Jean-Luc: We
will have to find two high quality parables… Now the next question is why two parables?
Spirits:
You seem somewhat amnesiac my friends. We follow you in the process and approve your choices, it is sad that you are already forgetting your instructions.
(The assistance remains doubtful …)
Jean-Luc:
It is true that in the configuration proposals that we made during our last general assembly, one of them included two parables, one opposite the other.
Laurie:
Yes, we’re talking about Joël’s drawings with two parables, one with a hole in it!
Spirits:
Here we are!
Laurie:
Yes, as for the example of the game « hologram Maker »
Bruno:
So the parable that is there is not going to be used?
Jean-Luc:
Yes, but we decided that we would start the new configuration with a single dish and that afterwards we would move towards the use of two dishes.
Nathalie:
But spiritual entities want us to move towards the configuration where there are two parables.
Jean-Luc:
Yes, thereafter. But as for the rest, we started the transcommunication with a television and a camera. Then the spirits very quickly spoke of holograms. But it took us years to get there.
Spirits:
My friends, we cannot intervene in your debates with engineered accuracy, you would not understand. There are many ways, many ways to achieve your ends. It is good that you take the path that you understand. It would be ridiculous to guide you in the dark with just one laser pointer! You need more light to understand and apprehend your route. You seem to understand the light effect produced by two opposing concave parabolas, yes. We encourage you in this way to then and delicately orient you towards the chosen and measured outcome. Without these intermediaries this goal would be impossible for you.
Jean-Luc:
I understand that in order to achieve the goal, they have to make us progress slowly in our understanding of the technique.
Brahim:
So setting up with a single dish is a necessary step?
Spirits:
Yes, to arrive at a pure holographic production.
Jean-Luc:
To achieve this holographic production, we go through several stages including that of the parabola and therefore we change configuration. This parable forces us to change our configuration!
Brahim:
Thinking of the future and to acquire these two glass dishes, could the store I passed be a supplier for us?
Spirits: No!
Jean-Luc
We’ll see and find a way to acquire his parables.
Okay, let’s go to question number two.
We want to install a high pressure mist sprayer in the cabin. Unfortunately the seller explains to us that we would have moisture or even water concerns. Do you have any advice regarding this support?
The spirits:
Yes, to go to the simplest the supports of which you speak are judicious but do not require such an installation. So build the cabin, put in place essential elements for transcommunication and first try a visual support with a simple refreshing bomb. Measure the effect and calculate, you will understand after the fact what you need. But you are not far from the best solution, do not forget about video and its recording function.
Jean-Luc:
Can you tell us what you mean by “don’t forget the video and its recording function”?
Spirits:
Yes, there will be two video streams, one generated by your cameras and the video projector, the second recording the materialization space between the main parabola and the experimenter.
Jean-Luc:
Since we took over the audio recordings, it seemed to us to have recorded whispers. Can you confirm that and can you tell us what was said?
Spirits:
However, we should not stop on “appearing to be”, but on accuracy. The latter will be rendered by your conviction and your faith. We confirm our tests on your devices, the chemistry takes place, it will not take long to hear names, words and exclamations. Sharpen your ears and especially do not hesitate to multiply the tests and supports.
(The spirits, intervened spontaneously on the experimental part of the Net surfers).
The spirits:
Yes, Internet users as you say, will still have their place in this new objective. Their thoughts are useful to us and the cross-communication images will not change for them. Perhaps they will also have to have a cabin return. The choice is yours, friends of IFRES.
Jean-Luc:
That’s good, Internet users have not been forgotten!
Are there other reactions from Internet users or here around this table?
Laurie:
Yes there is Prirouge who would like to have examples of audio media?
Spirits:
Frequency modulations.
(Spirits seeming to respond to thoughts emitted by Internet users) We hear you yes …
Jean-Luc:
I think this is intended for Internet users who must at this very moment have questions. Okay, do you have anything to add before we wrap up this meeting?
The Spirits:
Yes, we foresee a beautiful work and happy days. Your becoming close still has many surprises in store for you. Go and be good and merciful to one another.
Eric, Sébastopol and Gabriel.
