“Transference” (A Sci-fi Short – editing)

They call them “tasps” because they tap into your neurology and can induce pleasure – but, that’s for the addicts to go on about.

They were created in an attempt to help those with difficulties bridge synaptic gaps by use of pinpoint select energy currents, rather than continued use of synthetic drugs (by 2097, we all knew their use was barbaric).

But, something happened – “went wrong” one day when they hooked up one patient to the program. Her name was Paula, a Latina woman, and according to her psychologist, she’d been progressing well in the therapy.

“The ‘Arc Effect’ or ‘Leap’ occurs when currents of energy bridge across muscle and bone to join with neural currents within the brain’s matrix.

Theories suggest electrochemical charges within this matrix rely on attraction and parallelism, where combinations of chemicals are formed and regulated within the brain, creating a continuum of operant cooperation – usually trending to benefit human daily functionality.

However, if needed charges are missing, or an irregular, nonbeneficial current gets established in the charged system, interventions are necessary – whether by somehow adjusting the internal regulation system, or by externally giving a push toward the better direction for internal self-correction.

Here is where the Transference Adaptive Specialization Program (TASP) can do wonders.

We have run thousands of scans, mapping brain wave frequencies of high-functioning individuals. Then we have analyzed these along the light wavelength spectrum and created a general model of a healthy, dynamic brain.

When we scan an individual’s brain who is suffering from depression, for example, we see what spectral frquencies it is missing, compared to the model.

Once we find the wavelengths that need strengthening, we calibrate the machine to provide those these in the therapy’s treatment.”

A hand raises in the presentation room.

“Yes?”

A young man stands up and asks, ” What if a patient has too much of a wavelength type. What do you do, then?”

“Ah. Excellent question. We counter by adding a wavelength which will turn the overage toward a new balance – much like when mixing colors on a palette, as when mixing red and blue makes purple.”

Another hand raises, from a young woman in a lab coat. “Isn’t there a danger of causing an imbalance to the patient’s natural internal regulatory system? The brain governs all of the human system’s functioning. Isn’t is a grave risk you are taking with this energetic application?”

The presenter nods her head, but says with confidence, “We are already seeing amazing results in our clinical trials, and taking every precaution ‘deemed appropriate.’

Treatments are in small exposure amounts and times, and post observation is consistent. So far, there seem to be no negative side effects!”

“Always keep the pressure right here,” instructed the lab technician.

“Press your forehead, here, and rest your chin, here,” as he helps Paula’s positioning in the sitting up face cradle.

“If you feel any heat or discomfort, you’re to let me know immediately, ok?”

Paula nods in agreement.

“It’s particularily important that you keep your eyes focused on the changing color patterns in front of you, on the screen.

Don’t close your eyes for more than a blink, or the connection’s progress will be lost. Do you understand?”

Paula nods again and nervously licks her lips.

What is thought, but a synaptic intention?
What is reality, but our mind’s inventions?

We assign “consciousness” to beast or human,
Secure in limitations of base comprehension.

But, what if it’s more than we give credit for –
And awaits our curiosity to engage with it?
