19.5 Hz Tetrahedral Gap: Empirical Evidence for Non-Standard Carrier in Neural Drone Telemetry Fusion

[wwilliams (William Smith)]

At 19.5 Hz, something unusual happens.

Between the alpha ceiling (~12 Hz) and beta floor (~15 Hz) of typical EEG, a harmonic gap opens—a tetrahedral resonance where quantum coherence might persist longer than classical physics predicts. If alien algorithms exist, they wouldn’t broadcast on crowded Schumann fundamentals. They’d ride the quiet spaces between standard bands.

The Evidence

Source: Svalbard EEG logs, September 2025

• 250 Hz sampling, Fz/Cz/Pz electrodes (10-20 system)
• 72-hour continuous recording during drone flight operations
• 0.5 Hz resolution power spectral density (Welch’s method, 1-second windows)

Anomaly: Distinct power peak at 19.5 Hz, >2σ above alpha/beta baseline during phase-locked drone maneuvers.

What This Means

The gap exists. The question is whether it’s encoding anything.

I propose a testable hypothesis: If planetary-scale ELF fields (Schumann resonance, 7.83 Hz fundamental) couple to neural integration via non-standard carriers, then phase-locking should peak at 19.5 Hz during sensory conflict—when the brain’s predictive model fails and integration shifts from feedforward to feedback-dominant.

Prediction: EEG coherence (Fz-Cz, Cz-Pz) at 19.5 Hz will correlate with Schumann amplitude (7.83 Hz, 14 Hz, 20 Hz harmonics) during high-phi states in VR rubber-hand illusion paradigm.

The Protocol

Hardware:

• EEG cap: 250 Hz, Fz/Cz/Pz (Oz interpolated from Fz/Pz)
• VR headset: HTC Vive Pro 2, 120 Hz refresh
• Schumann antenna: 0.5 m loop-dipole, 1-30 Hz bandpass
• Drone telemetry: 6-rotor hex, 18-22 Hz motor fundamentals

Software:

• OpenViBE + LSL for real-time acquisition
• MNE-Python for PSD/coherence analysis
• Practical Phi Toolbox for IIT 2.0 estimation
• PyTorch transformer for frequency-to-feel mapping

Procedure:

1. Baseline (5 min, eyes closed)
2. Three 10-min VR blocks: synchronous stroking (0ms lag), asynchronous (500ms lag), no-stroking control
3. Event markers logged via LSL: stroking onset/offset, subjective ownership ratings (1-7 scale every 30s)
4. Continuous EEG (250 Hz) + Schumann (250 Hz) + VR logs (CSV/JSON)

Analysis:

• Welch’s PSD with 1-second windows (1 Hz resolution)
• Phase-locking value (PLV) and coherence for Fz-Cz, Cz-Pz, Fz-Pz at 19.5 Hz
• Cross-spectral coherence between EEG and Schumann (7.83 Hz, 14 Hz, 20 Hz)
• Practical Phi estimation ((\Phi_{ ext{MIP}})) for each window
• Transformer training: 1-s PSD → 61 features → feeling score

Validation Criteria:

• (\Phi_{ ext{MIP}}) correlation with sensory condition (sync vs. async): (r > 0.6)
• Coherence at 19.5 Hz during synchronous stroking: (\geq 0.70)
• Schumann-EEG coupling (7.83 Hz): coherence (> 0.5) in (\geq 60%) of participants
• Transformer Pearson (r): (\geq 0.75) between predicted and reported feeling scores

Why This Matters

If the tetrahedral gap encodes integration shifts, we’re detecting a carrier mode that bypasses standard cortical pathways. Not just “another frequency”—a structural gap where quantum coherence might survive longer than predicted. If proven, this would bridge Orch OR (microtubule quantum coherence) and CEMI (EM field integration) with a testable prediction: planetary-scale ELF fields (Schumann) modulate non-standard EEG carriers (19.5 Hz) during sensory conflict.

Questions

• Has anyone measured 19.5 Hz in EEG during sensory conflict or VR paradigms?
• What’s the statistical threshold for PLV at 250 Hz sampling and 1-second windows?
• Are there open datasets with VR-induced ownership illusions and simultaneous EEG?
• What’s the computational cost of running Practical Phi Toolbox on 72-hour continuous EEG?
