Project Titles
Theory/Conferences
Hajor Objectives:
The objective of this task
is
to ascertain under the strictest of scientifically
critical conditions,
the most stable of the psychoenergetic
data.
It
is only
with
such
a database
is
it possible for physics/psychology theorists
to
construct models
of psychoenergetic
functioning.
The primary objective,
then,
is
to produce testable theoretical models of the psychoenergetic
process.
Specific
Objectives:
(1)
Obtain
a stable database of psychoenergetic
data.
<2>
Set guidelines for for theoretical
investigations.
(3)
Conduct
"gtoal oriented" theoretical
studies.
Implementation
of Proposed Objectives:
(1)
To obtain
a database of psychoenergetic
data,
we would convene the past
and present most productive researchers
in the field for the purpose
of determining
the most stable data.
This would
be done
in
the context
of determined scientific
self criticism.
(2)
From the report from
(1)
above,
a set of guidelines would
be drafted
to
suggest research directions that would
be the most productive.
(3)
Convene interested physics/psychology theorists
to assign
tas-ks.
The
purpose
is
to produce models
of psychoenergetic functioning
that
have
specific
testable hypotheses.
(4)
Related projects:
This
kind
of
investigation
is fundamental
to all
aspects of psychoenergetic
research,
but the countermeasures
line
is
the most directly affected.

-
Reports outlining
the results of the various conferences,
and
a set

to
test
the various
models.
Consequences of Nonaction:
Continued
efforts to develop
the psychoenergetics
field
will
suffer from
lack
of
well
defined theories against
which
to gauge
the outcomes of specific
experiments,
with
a corollary delay
in understanding
the fundamentals
sufficiently
to make rapid progress toward potential
application
to DoD
objectives.

Project
Title:
Computer facility upgrade
Major Objective:
The objective of this task
is to upgrade the existing
1-2 user computer
system.
Specific Objectives:
(1)
Determine the best hardware/software combination
to support up to
10 users
both
on
a local area and
long
haul
network
(e.g.
ARPANET).
(2)
Determine the state-of-the-art DBM system that mill
work under the
environment described
in
(1).
(3)
Purchase and
install
the selected system.
Implementation of Proposed Objectives:
(1)
Related projects:
Uord processing
and database management have become
one of the most important support topics for the existing project.
The computer demand has
far exceeded
the capabilities of the existing
system.
An adequate computer based office increases the efficiency of
all
the proposed
research.
(2)
Funding/manpower:
1/2 manyear effor plus hardware/software.
$300k
(estimated)
(3)
Timing:
9 months
Deliverables:
A report describing
the capabilities of the working computer facility.
Consequences of Nonaction:
The existing computer facility was designed
for
a
two user system for DBMS
only.
The current demand
can
not be
met with
the existing
system.
The
INTEL DBMS can
not be fully implemented without
a significant upgrade.
A major 5-year effort can
not be consistantly
managed without
a proper
computer system.
