Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz?

Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'.
14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention).

Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely.

I remember crying during her broadcasts for no apparent reason as a 16-year-old. It felt like my chest was vibrating.

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable.
