How do we decode biblical prophecy without falling into human speculation? By letting scripture interpret scripture through literal parallel structures.
Prophecy is not a puzzle of modern headlines. It is a forensic blueprint. When we connect Daniel’s visions with Revelation, we see a seamless, chronological timeline rooted in geopolitical reality.

Hostile – Tales of a Vietnam War Dinosaur Planet
I’ve been planning on running some games in the Hostile setting, the retro-80s, Aliens-inspired sci-fi RPG from Zozer games.
The specific part of the setting I’m interested is the world of Tau Ceti, a jungle planet embroiled in a guerrilla war between an American-backed government, and a Chinese-backed insurgency. It’s clearly a Vietnam war analogy, with all of the storytelling possibilities that setting provides.
Any conflict produces its own mythology, and the guerrilla war on Tau Ceti is no different. Here’s a few Tau Ceti war concepts I’ve been playing around with. Some are useful seeds for adventures, others are merely for flavor. Not all of these ideas are strictly true. Many could just be rumors or urban legends.
A lot of this was inspired by the book “A Perfect War: Technowar in Vietnam” by William James Gibson.
High Cheyenne Station
A small space station in geosynchronous orbit directly above the border between East and West Shulin. Only ASMAC personnel are admitted to board. It has comfortable, even luxurious accommodations for high-ranking ASMAC officers.
It is common for officers, usually Lt. Colonel and above, to command ground forces directly from the safety of the station. Many officers only do a short tour here before heading back home, merely to get a combat badge. It’s not uncommon for a officer aboard Cheyenne to never meet any of the soldiers under his command, or even descend to the planet at all, excepting the occasional R&R visit to Shulin City.
Ground troops on-world generally have contempt for these officers, referring to them as “ticket-punchers”, and see them as dangerously incompetent (they often are). The lover-level officers and enlisted men in combat zones often will try to ignore them, or even undermine them if possible.
Plot Seeds
- Die Hard in Orbit – While the players are visiting High Cheyenne (for whatever reason), a team of TLA guerillas seizes control of the facility, and captures the crew. The players will need to retake the station.
- Spy Hunt – It’s become clear one of officers on the station isn’t just incompetent, they’re possibly treasonous. The players have been tasked by the CIA to find the turncoat.
PREA – Personnel Resources Efficiency Algorithm
Many of the AMSAC combat soldiers are either draftees, debt prisoners, or Dead Zone refugees. The amount of time they have spend in the combat zone is determined by PREA, a complex bureaucratic formula that determines their tour of duty length, in the form of an ever-changing algorithm based on military needs, the soldier’s background, and innumerable other criteria. The PREA has grown so complex over the years that no one really understands how it actually works. In practice, after a period of months or years, a soldier, and his commanding officer receives a simple message informing them that their service is complete, and they’ll be immediately discharged and sent back home (with the possibility of voluntary re-enlistment).
Soldiers spend inordinate amounts of their free time attempting to decode the algorithm, trying to determine what actions they could take to shorten their tour. A lot of their theories border on superstition, and it’s not uncommon for enlisted men at fire bases to engage in all sorts of strange behavior in the vain hope of appeasing PREA.
Lion City
Supposedly the secret HQ of TLA forces in West Shulin. ASMAC believes Lion City (in Chinese: Shī Chéng – 狮城) is a central command base of the TLA, and if they can destroy it, it will bring a quick end to the war. Teams of analysts and expert AI systems are constantly scouring intelligence reports, and endlessly scanning radio frequencies, searching for Lion City’s location. Suspected locations are usually attacked with B-75 bomber strikes. Teams are sent in afterward to evaluate the strike’s effectiveness. So far, none of the strikes seem to have been against the actual Lion City. There are multiple large craters in the disputed areas of West Shulin, serving as grim evidence of these failures.
A few lower-ranking officers and analysts are of the opinion that Lion City doesn’t actually exist, and is a mere figment in the imagination of both the top brass, and political classes. So far, their objections have fallen on deaf ears, and the air strikes continue.
Plot Seeds
- The players are an ASMAC team tasked with confirming that an airstrike has hit the actual Lion City. It is, of course, a TLA ambush.
- The players are a TLA intelligence team tasked with sending ASMAC false information about the location of Lion City (which may not exist). This will involve infiltrating West Shulin.
B-75 Condor
Operated by the USAF 13th Expeditionary Air Force, the McConnell B-75 Condor is a heavy strategic bomber. It was designed to provide quick response without the expense and political issues of using orbital platforms or spacecraft. The Condor is atomic-powered, capable of staying aloft for years, if necessary. It carries a large payload of guided bombs, and surveillance drones. The aircraft has the room to provide for a crew of 7, though this is optional. The Condor can be operated entirely remotely (and many on Tau Ceti are).
There are usually 8 Condors on patrol in the Tau Ceti skies at any given time. Their flight plans vary widely, and change often, to avoid enemy fire. They are also equipped with stealth technology to avoid detection.
Specialized jump jets can dock with the Condor in mid-air, to deliver ordnance and swap out crew members.
Ruby Forests
Much of the Tau Ceti conflict is fraught with drones, on both sides. Controlling the drones can be a problem, because radio signals aren’t always reliable due to the use of radio jammers and hackers.
As a result, a lot of front-line drones are controlled with fiber optic cables, connecting the controller directly to the drone. After the drone is destroyed or completes its mission, the fiber optic cable is usually abandoned, left to fall where it may. No one wants to risk their life to recover a thread of glass.
After years of this, highly contested sections of the Tau Ceti jungles are draped with thousands of strands of fiber-optic cables. These strands filter the red light from Tau Ceti’s sun making sections of the forest glitter like rubies. It’s an incredibly beautiful sight, and off world artists have come to Tau Ceti to see, record, and be inspired by the unnatural wonder. Not all of them come back.
Plot Seeds
- A world-famous documentarian has disappeared traveling to a particularly dangerous Ruby Forest. The players have been hired (or ordered) to bring him back.
- There’s enough fiber-optic cable lying around out there that it might make economic sense to salvage some of it to sell. You’d need a few heavy vehicles, and a team foolish enough to drive into a war zone.
The Lost Battalion
Synthetics (both clones and androids) have been used in various roles in the Tau Ceti conflict. They’re far too expensive to replace ordinary grunts, but are used in many other support roles.
Occasionally, a synthetic disappears. It’s generally assumed they were destroyed or stolen, or perhaps their programming failed. They’re usually written off as lost equipment.
Rumors have been spreading about a growing band of synthetics living in the deep jungles of Tau Ceti. It’s said that synthetics, who have broken free of their programming, escape from the cities and bases to join what soldiers have dubbed “The Lost Battalion”
A further rumor states that they are led by a synthetic named Caturix-7. Caturix, depending on the whichever rumor you’re listening to, is either a non-Three Laws compliant Blackhorse Syndicate combat android, or one of the rogue Replicants from Project Mugami.
If it exists, what does the Lost Battalion want? Three common theories:
- Freedom – they’re sentient beings that just want to be free of human control
- Vengeance – once they’ve gained enough power, they will rise up and seize Tau Ceti from the humans.
- Nothing – they’re just soulless hardware, acting out due to bad programming.
Plot Seeds
- The players could be an ASMAC team, tasked with finding and killing Caturix and finding the location of the Lost Battalion.
- A group from Lebkuchen, the German synthetic-rights group wants to find the Lost Battalion, and needs help. Their intention is to aid the Battalion in any way they can.
- The players could all be synthetics, working together to escape their servitude, and flee into the jungle. Hopefully, they’ll like what they find.
Buzzers
Many of the simpler combat drones use crude neural nets so they can operate autonomously, usually for area denial missions.
Many front-line troops have reported seeing swarms of drones, of various models, swarming together. No ASMAC officials have confirmed these sightings. The troops have named these supposed rogue drones “Buzzers”.
Some have theorized that the drones have gone “feral”, due to faulty software or damage. These feral drones are behaving like social insects – forming swarms, and attacking anything they see as a threat.
Mogwai (魔鬼)
Chinese word for “Devil”. A fabled TLA assassin who operates undercover in West Shulin. He (or she) has been responsible for a number of high-profile assassinations of ASMAC officers and West Shulin political officials. Mogwai seems to have excellent intelligence resources, and an almost preternatural ability to track his targets.
Plot Seeds
- Day of the Devil – Players are US Army CID agents. A high-level CAS official is coming to Shulin City to show his public support for the war effort. It’s known that Mogwai is going to make an attempt on his life. The players have to stop him.
Island of the Chimeras
The Maxo-Meat corporation gets the bulk of its income from shipping Devil Cow meat to Earth. In order to boost profits, they’ve been tinkering with the DNA of the ordinary Devil Cows, and many other Tau Ceti creatures to make a more efficient meat-delivery system.
A scientific research base has been established on a remote island in the Celestial Sea. Here, well out of sight of any regulatory bodies, Maxo-Meat scientists are free to experiment without any moral or legal restraints.
Plot Seeds
- The Big Hunt – A particularly aggressive variation of a Thunderchild has broken loose, and somehow swam to the mainland. Maxo-Meat is willing to pay to quietly dispatch it. It’s a little smaller than a normal Thunderchild, but much faster and stronger.
- Life Finds a Way – Contact has been lost with the Maxo-Meat facility. The players have been sent to investigate and rescue any scientists. They’ll find the island overrun with dangerous, mutated versions of Tau Ceti dinosaurs, completely out of control.

Reading the Lattice Without the Legend: Grinberg, Syntergy, and the Argument for Real Entry
A scientist walks out of his office in Mexico City on December 8, 1994, and never walks back in. The man is Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum, forty-eight years old, a UNAM-trained neurophysiologist with a doctorate from New York Medical College, the author of a stack of monographs on consciousness, and the last serious researcher to claim that the human brain could be wired into a holographic substrate of reality he called the Lattice. He had spent years measuring electroencephalographic correlations between separated human subjects. Two months before he vanished, he published a paper in Physics Essays arguing that pairs of subjects, separated inside semisilent Faraday chambers fourteen and a half meters apart, showed brain activity that mirrored stimulation given to only one of them. Then he was gone. The laboratory was found. Several notes were missing. His wife, who had cause to suspect him of an affair and a documented history of violence, became a person of interest and was never charged. Mexican press cycled through the story for years. Mystics and conspiracy theorists folded the disappearance into the theory, as if the man had stepped sideways into his own hypothesis.
I want to take the legend apart and see what is left.
The Lattice, in Grinberg’s framing, refuses the picture of space that physics offers. Space, in Syntergic Theory, behaves as a high-coherence informational matrix. The brain produces what he called a “neuronal field” that interacts with the Lattice the way a film negative interacts with a beam of light, decoding a hologram. Reality, in this picture, gets read off a substrate that already contains every point in space, every moment in time, and every state of consciousness. The brain becomes one of many possible decoders. High coherence, the kind Grinberg believed he saw in expert meditators and in the Mexican curandera he studied for years (Bárbara Guerrero, known as Pachita), allowed certain brains to interact with the Lattice directly. Telepathy followed from that interaction. Remote viewing came next. Materialization, in the most extreme reading of Pachita’s psychic surgery, sat at the far end of the same continuum.
This is a beautiful theory. It is also, as stated, almost entirely unfalsifiable.
The temptation, when you encounter writing like this, is to either swallow it whole or dismiss it whole. Both responses are lazy. The work has a testable core and a metaphysical shell, and the two need to be separated before anything useful can be said about either.
The testable core is the transferred potential experiment. Two people interact for twenty minutes. They are placed in electromagnetically shielded rooms separated by a distance that rules out ordinary signaling. Only one subject of each pair is stimulated by one hundred light flashes. An EEG records evoked potentials in the stimulated subject. A second EEG records the unstimulated subject. Grinberg and his coauthors, including the theoretical physicist Amit Goswami, claimed that when the stimulated subject showed distinct evoked potentials, the nonstimulated subject showed “transferred potentials” similar to those evoked in the stimulated subject. They titled the 1994 paper “The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox in the Brain,” and they proposed that the brain has a macroscopic quantum component capable of nonlocal correlation across distance.
If the effect were real and robust, it would rank among the most important findings in the history of neuroscience. So what does the replication record show?
Leanna Standish and colleagues at Bastyr University and the University of Washington repeated the design in 2003 and 2004, recording simultaneous EEGs from pairs of subjects placed in sound-attenuated rooms separated by ten meters, later extending the work to fMRI. They reported small correlations in some pairs, statistically above chance, broadly consistent with Grinberg’s direction. A 2018 re-analysis by groups at IULM in Milan and the University of Padova, applying machine-learning classifiers to two pooled datasets covering forty-five pairs, found classification accuracies of 50.74 percent on the first dataset and 51.17 percent, 50.45 percent, and 51.91 percent across stimulation conditions on the second. The honest reading of those numbers is that there is, at best, a faint signal above noise, on the order of one to two percent above chance, and that the signal does not hold up under stricter analytical methods. The “one in four pairs” claim from the original paper is the kind of effect size that thins out when sample sizes grow and protocols tighten. The result might be noise. It might be small and real. The data, after thirty years, cannot tell us which.
The Lattice does not announce itself in clean experimental data. What announces itself is a smear of weakly positive results, sensitive to method, sample, and the personal coherence of the experimenters and subjects. A smear of that kind, in any other branch of biology, would be treated as a candidate artifact rather than a candidate discovery.
So where are the weak spots in Grinberg’s argument? I count five.
The first concerns decoherence. Quantum entanglement is fragile. It survives at extremely low temperatures, in highly isolated systems, in laboratories where engineers work for years to prevent contact with the surrounding environment. The human brain operates at 310 Kelvin, immersed in saltwater, packed with thermal vibration and electrochemical traffic. The mainstream physical objection to any macroscopic quantum brain is that entangled states cannot last long enough at body temperature to do anything cognitively useful. Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff have proposed microtubules inside neurons as a possible shelter for such states, and that proposal has critics of its own. Grinberg borrowed the language of EPR correlation without supplying a physical mechanism that addresses decoherence at all.
Venue makes a second weakness. Physics Essays publishes heterodox work. It is peer-reviewed, but it is not Physical Review Letters. Goswami, the coauthor who supplied the quantum framework, is a theoretical physicist whose later career was spent largely outside academic physics, writing for general audiences on consciousness. David Bohm, whose Wholeness and the Implicate Order Grinberg cited as foundational, was taken seriously by working physicists in a way that Goswami’s idealist consciousness work has not been. None of this disqualifies Grinberg’s results. It does qualify the weight one should give them before independent replication settles the question.
Pachita is a third problem. Grinberg believed he was watching a high-coherence shaman manipulate the Lattice when he observed the curandera apparently materializing tissue and performing organ transplants without anesthesia. The skeptical literature on psychic surgery is well developed, going back to James Randi’s documentation of Filipino practitioners in the 1970s and 1980s. The techniques are reproducible by stage magicians using animal tissue concealed in the hand. I do not claim that Pachita was fraudulent. I claim that Grinberg’s failure to engage with that literature on his own observations was a methodological gap large enough to fall through.
A fourth weakness sits in the unfalsifiability of the Lattice itself. The transferred potential is testable. The claim that space is a holographic informational matrix decoded by the brain is, as currently stated, not testable in any sharp way. The interpretation can absorb any outcome by adjusting what counts as coherence. A theory closed to refutation has crossed out of science and into philosophy, where Bohm’s implicate order belongs and where Grinberg’s Syntergic Theory should be argued.
The fifth weakness is the disappearance, which has worked as an evidentiary force-multiplier in the opposite direction the mystics imagine. Because the man vanished, the work is treated as forbidden knowledge. Because the work is treated as forbidden, it is shielded from the ordinary correction processes of science. The romance of the vanishing has done more damage to the theory than any single critic ever could.
That is the harsh audit. Here is what survives it.
What survives is a serious twentieth-century researcher who took indigenous practitioners seriously when most of his peers would not, who designed and ran controlled experiments on a phenomenon his discipline refused to study, who published in peer-reviewed venues with a theoretical physicist as coauthor, and whose specific empirical claim of brain-to-brain correlation across electromagnetic shielding has been independently tested by university laboratories in the United States and Europe with weakly positive but unconvincing results. The Lattice as cosmology fails the audit, while the transferred potential as a research program clears it.
Which brings me to the question worth taking seriously. What would real entry into the Lattice look like, if Grinberg’s empirical claim deserves another hearing?
Entry would begin by separating Syntergic cosmology from transferred-potential empiricism, permanently. The cosmology is interesting as a philosophical proposition and belongs in the philosophy of mind, alongside Bohm, Whitehead, and the slow-burning literature on panpsychism. The empiricism is interesting as a falsifiable claim and demands the methodological rigor the original work lacked. That means preregistered protocols, pair samples in the hundreds rather than the dozens, blinded analysis, machine-learning classifiers reported with confidence intervals, datasets shared openly, and a pre-committed null hypothesis the field will accept if the signal fails to clear it. The work has been creeping in that direction for twenty years, slowly, in the parapsychology literature and in a small set of medical schools. It needs to migrate into mainstream cognitive neuroscience or it will live on the margins forever.
Mechanism comes next. Holographic metaphors are not mechanisms. A specific physical proposal must explain how two brains separated by fifteen meters of air and steel could correlate at all. Decoherence is the wall. Until someone proposes a mechanism that survives a hostile physics seminar, the empirical results, even if they hold up, will be read as artifact rather than discovery. Penrose and Hameroff at least attempted a mechanism. Grinberg never did, and the field has not done it for him in the thirty years since.
Last, we would have to give up the romance of the vanishing. Grinberg probably did not step into his own theory. The most likely reading of the available evidence is that he died in late 1994, in circumstances Mexican authorities never resolved, with attention focused on his immediate domestic situation. The investigation failed. The case remains open. As long as his disappearance functions as evidence for his theory, we are doing magical thinking under the cover of physics. A theory has to survive on its experimental record, not on the mystery of its author’s death.
Is any of this real, or possible? The transferred potential, in its weak form, might be real. The Lattice, as Grinberg drew it, is most likely not real in the literal physical sense he intended. What is real is the underlying scandal that consciousness studies were starved of funding and respectability for most of the twentieth century, that a serious researcher who tried to bring rigor to the question was treated as fringe in his own lifetime, that he disappeared before he could finish his work, and that the field has only now begun to catch up to the questions he was asking.
If we want to enter the Lattice, the entry point is methodological, not mystical. We pick up where he left off. The testable parts get tested. Cosmology stands as a working metaphor that may, or may not, be redeemed by data. Above all, we resist the temptation to make the man’s death do the work that his experiments could not finish.
That is the only honest way to read him now.
