In the preceding nine
years, the Sirius Institute has made a number of advances on
which our current/future plans are based. These
include:
"Dolphin Attended/Assisted Water Birth"- A main focus of
our work is the development of water birthing facilities,
both land and water based, where women can birth their
babies in water in the presence of dolphins. Similar work in
Russia and elsewhere has demonstrated that babies born in
this way are more creative, calm, more sound, stronger,
develop more rapidly and are able to hold their breath for
long periods of time and more.
We are in contact with the major water birth researchers
including Dr. Gowri Motha, Dr. Michel Odent, Estelle Meyers
and others. We have accomplished our first dolphin
accompanied birth, of John Kehena Newland Lucy. The optimal
birth methods we are developing will insure the best outcome
for our children's births.
From a sound birth we go to explore their life preparation
and education through CampParadise, a project of the Sirius
Institute. Created over the years between Paradise and
Michael around Tiger's (and others) education, this is a
home/neighbourhood/ global and beyond education programme
for children and their big people. It involves technology
such as Internet and people who can pass on their *books of
wisdom*. It enables each child's needs to be satisfied, the
gifts each here to bring supported in coming through. The
'creation' of grounded, caring, loving, competent children
is a given. Each is entitled to be all they are capable of
being. The community involvement insures the bonded life of
the children in the pod (the child's immediate kin circle or
podlet if it is small) and their security within their
world. Each child is loved, a precious being.
The center of activity in the child's life is called a pod
home, and it functions also as a center of stability within
neighbourhoods, communities. There is much happening in pod
homes as they are the centers of life, arts, technology,
crafts, music, care of the 'aina' (land - Hawai'ian), the
natural world and more. Thus are children grounded in the
real world by having contact/experience with how things are
done.
"Language
Sculpting"
- Language Sculpting, created by Paradise Newland, is a
technology that enables us to create coherent realities
through the conscious use of language. Its use simplifies
and clarifies everyday communication and is valuable in
designing clear communication between the dolphins or humans
and other life. This is especially helpful in passing on
clear language skills to children. The techniques can be
applied to software that will allow documents to be
"sculpted" automatically. [Various books on the method
are in preparation]
"Lucy
Scale Technologies"
- A mathematical model of musical harmony has been developed
by Charles Lucy based on the work of John Harrison in the
1770's. A full exposition of Lucy tuning and its
implications is available. Lucy scale has profound
implications in many areas from music, to any resonant
system, to basic physics, and signal analysis.
Briefly, since Pythagoras and the development of equal
temperment tunings, musical harmonics have been thought to
be based on simple whole number ratios. A model closer to
reality is the Lucy tuning system based on Pi. One important
advantage of the Lucy Scale is that "any" extant
equal-temperment or other musical tuning can be converted to
Lucy scale and then modulated and transposed into any other
tuning. For the first time, this allows all the world's
music to be played together in a harmonious way. Including
cetacea. Lucy has demonstrated this in a recording called
"Lucytuned Lullabies Around the World". [Tape and CD
available now and website].
Music and
Interspecies Communication
We have found that part of the cetacean acoustic
communication is musical. Preliminary studies have
determined that the songs of human choruses, canaries,
humpback whales, dolphins and orcas are better described by
the Lucy scale than by standard equal-temperment tunings. It
is important to dolphin communication work because it is a
consistent way to measure what scales and tunings the
dolphins and other cetacea actually use. Following more
analysis we will be able to match our musical communication
with their scales, insuring that our productions will be
compatible and in-tune to the cetacea, and may give us
significant insights into the nature of cetacean language
that will help us understand and perhaps translate it.
[More details may be found in Charles Lucy's book:
Pitch, Pi, and other Musical Paradoxes]
Song Swimmer Interface
The Song Swimmer interface we have developed allows
dolphins and other cetacea to communicate with us directly
by means of their voices. The interface converts cetacean
whistles to a Musical Industry Digital Interface
[MIDI] form. Once this is done, the cetacea can
easily operate synthesizers, computers, and even
waldos/teleoperators, robots, or other devices using only
their acoustic output. The MIDI format is useful for
detailed analysis using Lucy scale and other techniques. To
our knowledge, this is the first time that the MIDI
transform of dolphin sounds, and their analysis in musical
form has been accomplished. Future developments of the
interface will extend its frequency range, include the
coding of clicks and other sounds and the ability to
distinguish the sounds of several dolphins simultaneously.
The Song Swimmer is key to the creation of interspecies
concerts and music as detailed below.
Dolphin Valentine
Dolphin Valentine is an audio tape which demonstrates the
conversion of dolphin whistles to a MIDI form followed by
assigning a timbre (sound) to the pitch profiles thus
obtained. The resulting MIDI stream is played through a
synthesizer is quite musical and demonstrates the
feasibility of dolphins operating computers and other
devices with their sounds. (See: Dolphin
Valentine
)
Sound to Vision Transforms
The dolphin acoustic band is ten times the human range.
The only sensory system we have that is of equivalent
bandwidth is vision. Therefore, we have developed methods
that display sounds as visual patterns. This system has
received a patent called the Harmonic Color Code System, by
Myron Blazek, Charles Lucy, Michael Hyson. The system will
be implemented in hardware and software in the future, and
will be used in the speech training of deaf or hearing
impaired children as well as the dolphin language
work.

"Cold Fusion" &
"Free" Energy Systems
One cold fusion system incorporates uniform polymer spheres
as part of the system. Dr. Hyson is an inventor of a method
to easily mass produce such polymer spheres, developed and
patented during his time at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. We
wish to apply this technology to cold fusion reactors for
use in energy generation and space travel, as well as
domestic power production.

Next?
A Research
Vessel
We can then sail anywhere on the planet. Plans are being
made for recording the Sperm whales, humpbacks, spinners and
Pacific Bottlenosed dolphins that come near Hawai'i. Hawai'i
is farther from land than any other point on the earth. This
is "whale central" and many species come here, making
Hawai'i one of the best places to do such research
