Thank you, uh, Lorpin...Squiggle? Yeah, I can't read this. But still, thank you so much!

Hey, Ambrose, can I get you down here at the Outreach Booth to check out a potential thaumohazard? And can you bring me two corn dogs?

After a year's work here it is, the new piece Spinal Cord!

The spinal cord is the information superhighway connecting our brains to our bodies, an indispensible organ and masterpiece of evolution as fundamental to our existence as our brains themselves.

It is available as:

1. Fine Art Prints (pictured here)

2. Microetched Prints (I'll post more about these soon, these animate the neural activity of this region)

3. Gold Microetchings (also have reflective animations, highest end option)

This image was made entirely from scratch, deeply informed by the neuroscientific literature and my background in neuroscience and designed to be an attractive piece of fine art as well as an accurate atlas of both anatomy and connectivity. It is the most ambitious project that I’ve undertaken since the creation of Self Reflected.

This artwork and associated images, GIFs, and video are designed to give the viewer a comprehensive understanding of the complex anatomical details of this region and how information travels through the cord. In particular, I wanted to emphasize the complexity of the transverse white matter regions and how signals travel into and out of these areas. Information travels through the afferent inputs in the dorsal ganglia, is processed in the butterfly shaped gray matter regions in the central cord, and through computations with interneurons and afferent/efferent signals from adjacent regions of the transverse white matter tracts leads to signal outputs through the ventral cord that execute movements.

This could be enough for me or you today, place your hand on another and melt it on, every square millimeter of your hand relishing contact, fingers as hoses of energy, filling the room with the other, and the horizon.

Image: Yoga and Meditation Art - Pranayama Microetched

by Greg Dunn

Pranayama is an exploration of the internal state during spiritual practices, a piece of meditation and yoga art celebrating yogic breathing exercises called pranayama.

What Inspired the Yoga and Meditation Art of Pranayama

Pranayama is a bit of a departure from my more directly anatomical work on the nervous system, one that explores alternative ways of interpreting the mind and brain. It is directly inspired by my practice of meditation and experiences inside my sensory deprivation tank. In particular, it is a map of the perceptions felt after years of practice of pranayama (breathing exercises) in meditation. Those most often interested in this type of meditation and yoga art are those who practice the various methods of training the mind- meditation, yoga, pranayama, and other related disciplines.

The technique is called “reflective microetching”.

"Every Bullet Has A Name"

In the U.S., more than 20,000 people are killed by firearms every year. Another 85,000 survive gunshot wounds. But here’s the statistic that should stop you cold: only 46 percent of gun homicides are ever solved.

That means most shooters walk free.

No justice.

No closure.

Just silence.

Not because investigators failed. Because the system failed them.

But what if every bullet casing told the truth?

What if every bullet slug provided a traceable clue?

We now have the technology to do just that — and it’s not science fiction. It’s blockchain. And it’s ready.

Picture this: Every legal firearm minted with a digital fingerprint — an NFT. That token stores a cryptographically hashed ballistic signature, a tamper-proof microetching ID, and a log of legal transfers. All encrypted. All access-controlled. All searchable in seconds — if and only if a court says so.

No serial numbers. No central registry. No unconstitutional overreach. Just forensic truth that can’t be faked, forged, or lost.

When that firearm is fired, the casing left behind carries microscopic marks from the barrel, breechface, and firing pin — unique to that gun. Investigators can scan that casing and instantly query the blockchain: Was this round fired from a registered weapon? Did the bullet leave a clue? Yes or no.

And here’s where it gets real.

If we implement this system nationally at 90 percent adoption, the numbers shift dramatically:

We could save 4,000 lives a year. Prevent 17,000 non-fatal shootings. Solve 15,400 more gun crimes annually. Avoid $7.8 billion in costs — every year. And preserve over 94 police officers’ lives in a single decade.

All for less than the cost of a single handgun magazine: $26.25 per firearm.

So what’s holding us back?

The current system, NIBIN, processes over 50,000 forensic leads each year.

But it’s siloed.

It’s slow.

It’s vulnerable to manipulation and disruption. Some cases take weeks or months. Many never close.

Meanwhile, ghost guns, 3D-printed barrels, and wiped serials are flooding streets — leaving investigators with nothing to trace.

But now, for the first time, we can fight back with precision.

In my thesis for The Whitepaper’s 7th episode, I introduced a forensic model called the Decker Clearance-Crime-Cost Equation (DCCCE). It connects clearance rates, crime deterrence, and investigative costs into a predictive ROI framework.

In test simulations, we found a 17 percent clearance increase led to a nearly 9 percent drop in violent crime and over $59 million in savings within just 36 months. That’s not a proposal. That’s proof.

Even ghost guns become forensic clues in this system. A bullet that doesn’t match anything on-chain is its own red flag — evidence of an unregistered weapon. Microetching makes it nearly impossible to fake forensic identity. And if someone tries to clone a barrel or plant casings? Blockchain timestamps and microetch hashes expose the fraud instantly.

And privacy? That’s baked in.

Owner data isn’t on-chain. It’s stored off-chain, encrypted. And no one — no agency, no prosecutor, no analyst — can access it without a digital warrant approved by a judge, a forensic lab, and a law enforcement official. Three-of-five multisig. No backdoors.

All access attempts are logged. All matches are verified by enhanced forensic models. No guesswork. Just chain-of-custody you can take to court.

This system aligns with Riley v. California, Katz v. United States, and satisfies Daubert evidentiary standards. It doesn’t just protect your rights — it fortifies them.

For $10.5 billion in implementation costs, we gain over $78 billion in return within a decade. Forty thousand lives saved. Thousands of wrongful convictions avoided. Billions in savings for cities, courts, hospitals, and public safety.

And most of all, truth — delivered faster, fairer, and more reliably than ever before.

This isn’t a registry. It’s a forensic shield. Not gun control — gun identification.

It doesn’t track people. It tracks facts. It doesn’t erode liberty. It codifies it. And it doesn’t just solve crimes. It prevents them.

We don’t need more delay. We need more integrity. And every casing on the ground and every bullet fired is telling us the same thing:

We are ready.

Justice starts with tools.

Blockchain wasn’t just built to disrupt finance. It was built to reveal the truth.

Now let’s use it.

ARTIST RESEARCH Dr. Greg Dunn

He uses his knowledge of neuroscience to create works of fine art that celebrate the brain. Dr. Dunn’s paintings and reflective microetchings deeply fuse art and science, attempting to illuminate the unfathomable complexities of our minds. Dunn’s art includes ink paintings on gold leaf exploring the spontaneous branching of a handful of pyramidal neurons to incredibly intricate, large scale reflective etchings such as Self Reflected that animate the collective activity of half a million neurons at once. In prints, paintings, hanging scrolls, and etchings, Dunn’s works bridge the micro to the macro to change the way in which the average person thinks about the brain. It hopes to reinstill the sense of awe, even to those of us who struggle with various neurological ailments, and to hopefully remind us that our brains are a thing of wonder. Harvard Referencing:

Could have the key microetched in a coin or something, small enough that only an AMF or SEM or the like could visualize it. And that's already fitting to the genre! "Ancient artifact reveals secret under modern technological analysis". Could have that be a bait and switch, instead of giving you a key it gives you machine instructions for some long-dead processor, but one that modern emulators don't emulate perfectly, whereas this program takes advantage of some niche instructions, leading to a mad dash to track down the one of the last remaining physical units that works.

Functionally a thumb drive full of bitcoins bought in 2010 could fill basically the same plot function a briefcase full of bearer bonds or unmarked bills used to before the government started caring about money laundering, but in practice I don't think I've ever really seen a story where they do.
