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). Orion didn't just write pop songs; they engineered a neuro-chemical delivery mechanism disguised as synth-pop. -- Raj Campbell Hayes Optima 288 @ ISDN 64k bps "They will send a copy in my place."
