Government: central claims
Source gap (revised after QE and deep reads). The three scanned PDFs (CIA/DT scalar-waves memo, CIA copy of Feinberg's tachyon article, DIA LENR report) have no real text layer and were read from OCR text (tesseract), so text_available is "partial" for them. They have now been deep-read in full: the memo (all equations checked on page images), Feinberg (pp.3-9 text plus the p.3 image; only the p.9 figure axes remain garbled) and the DIA report including its 54 endnotes (pp.7-8). Still missing: the underlying LENR papers themselves (the 2009 Naturwissenschaften triple-track paper could not be retrieved; Miles 1996 was read via lenr-canr.org, an archive run by LENR proponents), the Kowalski critique and any independent He-4 replication (web checks failed or ran out of budget), and any confirmation of the memo's originating agency (DT-ACO, "Dr. Vorona", RDP96-00792 collection), which rests on [memory, medium]. The Holt NASA report has a text layer and was read in full in the earlier pass (no deep-read file). In the zip, the three STAC reports are ordinary news digests with no physics content and the three images are infographics that cite no sources for their assertions (2RNM.jpg is credited to Supratik Saha; the gif carries the watermark www.raven1.net). Step 0 was re-run on 2026-10-05 and now extracts all six members (the three images as one OCR sequence, whose page 2, the 9RNM.jpg diagram, is too garbled for OCR and rests on the earlier direct image reading); all six have digests. Mainstream-conflict statements still rest partly on [memory].
The folder is a mixed bag of US government and government-hosted documents, not one researcher's work. The claims are:
- A "scalar wave" S with E = 0, B = 0 and no Poynting flow exists as a solution of a wave equation (memo, Gaussian units, 12/22/87 probable); the memo says it might penetrate seawater, avoid attenuation and draw energy from the vacuum, but also that its energy source "is not clear" and its existence "not proven". Reading: S is a pure gauge function with no physical field, so a wave carrying energy does not follow from the memo's own equations.
- Low-energy nuclear reactions (cold fusion) in palladium/deuterium cells produce excess heat, nuclear particles, helium-4 and transmutation, and the field "has begun to be accepted" as reproducible (DIA 2009 report). The report gives no data of its own: 16 of its 54 endnotes trace to its contributors, only 7 distinct mainstream peer-reviewed papers are cited, and the particle evidence (SPAWAR CR-39 triple tracks) is contested and about 9 orders of magnitude too weak to carry watt-level d+d heat (rough estimate, assumed detector efficiency). The best-sourced evidence is the China Lake 1996 report (He-4 matching excess power in 30 of 33 runs).
- Electromagnetic and gravitational fields are coupled, so laser-generated megagauss magnetic fields, oscillated through field-line merging, could be tuned to resonate with a distant space-time point and move a craft there (Holt, NASA TM-80961, 1979, private research with a disclaimer; two admittedly unproven assumptions, no equations).
- Faster-than-light particles (tachyons, with imaginary rest mass) are not forbidden by relativity, but the 1970 searches found none: a Princeton Cerenkov search (pair rate under 1/10,000 of electron-positron pairs) and a Columbia bubble-chamber search (101 candidates, 23 after a capture-in-flight cut, 0 after remeasurement; under 1/400 of pion production), with a photon-stability argument limiting any charged tachyon (Feinberg, Scientific American, February 1970; held in a CIA reading-room collection).
- Directed electromagnetic (microwave or ELF) energy can remotely affect the human body and mind, from microwave hearing to mind control (three "EM effects on human body" infographics that cite no sources, which also assert effects such as "transparent eyelids", genital-area itching and forced orgasm, a "caffeine field", forced speech, pain, "microwave burns", "electrical shocks used in the Gulf War" and break-ins attributed to psychological warfare research; microwave hearing has a mainstream basis; the STAC reports in the zip are unrelated news digests).
