PRISM - Patent Pending
I’ve been researching UFO’s lately. I mean - UAPs. This led me down a rabbit hole of patents people have applied for. Active Camouflage. Anti-Gravity Drives. Etc. It prompted me to generate a patent proposal of my own. I did this for fun. Just to get myself in the headspace of a character I’m working on. If you’re curious - have a look.
The process is called PRISM, which stands for Personalized Research and Innovation Stimulation Method. It uses AI, biometric feedback, and guided storytelling to help people unlock their creative potential and develop groundbreaking ideas. Whether it’s inventing new technologies, solving complex problems, or even predicting future trends, PRISM combines science and imagination in a way that’s structured, repeatable, and hypothetically, potentially, maybe, could be — effective.
This collaborative approach would leverage studies on group storytelling and collective ideation, such as those observed in UFO research communities, conspiracy theory networks, and theory-crafting within popular entertainment properties. These studies highlight the power of shared narratives and diverse expertise to drive innovation and problem-solving.
Moreover, advanced tools like AI-driven synthesis of interdisciplinary data and iterative feedback loops informed by biometric monitoring could be introduced into group sessions. This would allow participants to build upon individual outputs in a dynamic, data-rich environment, fostering the evolution of more complex and actionable solutions.
By integrating these principles, the process has the potential to evolve into a robust, interdisciplinary method for addressing complex technological and social challenges, enabling breakthroughs in fields as diverse as renewable energy, healthcare, and interactive media.

This innovation is capable of generating actionable insights and patentable outcomes while adhering to legal and ethical standards. The result is a transformative methodology with wide-ranging applications for individual creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world problem-solving.
PRISM: Abstract
A structured, repeatable process for stimulating imagination and conceptual development using a combination of personalized preloading content, hypnosis, and psychedelics. This method includes the creation of tailored audio-visual narratives, integrating biometric feedback systems, and guided sessions to facilitate creative ideation and predictive capabilities. The process targets individuals with unique cognitive profiles, such as ADHD, and enables breakthroughs in advanced technology and prognostication within defined fields of expertise. The approach builds on research into the human brain that identifies an innate ability to parse disconnected elements and connect them in novel ways, often without corroborating evidence, relying instead on pattern recognition, personal experience, expertise, and a cognitive drive to close information loops.
Background
This method leverages advancements in neuroscience, personalized storytelling, and controlled psychedelic experiences to create a novel framework for idea generation and future prediction. Unlike remote viewing, this approach integrates scientific tools and a holistic methodology to foster creativity and innovation.
Review of Existing Technologies and Methodologies
To establish novelty, this process improves upon traditional brainstorming, AI-driven creativity tools, and hypnosis therapy by integrating them into a unified system:
Traditional Brainstorming:
Relies on group dynamics and verbal ideation, which can be inconsistent and influenced by dominant personalities.
Lacks structured guidance to tap into subconscious creativity or data-driven personalization.
AI-Driven Creativity Tools:
Focus on generating ideas algorithmically, often without participant involvement beyond initial inputs.
This process uniquely pairs AI-generated narratives with the participant's active subconscious engagement during hypnosis and psychedelic sessions, creating a deeper connection to the ideas.
Hypnosis Therapy:
Typically used for behavioral modification or therapeutic outcomes, not creative ideation or technological innovation.
Integrating biometric feedback and preloading content adds precision and adaptability, enhancing its effectiveness for innovation.
Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy:
While used for therapeutic breakthroughs, existing applications rarely include structured storytelling or feedback-driven adjustments.
This process introduces targeted ideation with real-time monitoring, creating a reproducible and scalable model for creativity.
These advancements collectively enable a deeper, more systematic exploration of innovative ideas and future prognostications.

The Solar Vanguard: Harnessing Tomorrow's Light
Opening Scene: A World on the Brink
The story begins in the year 2045, where the world faces a massive energy crisis. Fossil fuel reserves are nearly depleted, and global energy demands have tripled due to urban population growth and new technologies. Blackouts sweep across major cities, and panic ensues as power grids fail. Amid the chaos, whispers of a breakthrough project—a clean energy system capable of revolutionizing the world—reach Dr. Emily Carter, a renowned solar energy innovator. Emily is called upon to lead a global task force to solve the energy crisis.
The narrative introduces Emily in her lab, where she is conducting an experiment on a new type of self-healing solar panel. A knock at the door reveals representatives from the United Nations Energy Council. They explain the gravity of the crisis and task her with leading the Solar Vanguard Initiative—a coalition of the world’s brightest minds. A countdown looms: the world’s energy reserves will last only 18 months.
Act 1: A Call to Innovate
Emily accepts the challenge but is met with immediate hurdles. Her team includes specialists in fields she’s never worked with before, such as nanotechnology, quantum computing, and biomimicry. The stakes escalate as conflicting approaches divide the team. Meanwhile, public protests erupt outside her lab, demanding immediate solutions.
Emily observes urban gardens from her lab window and draws inspiration from plant morphologies, thinking, "What if solar panels could photosynthesize energy just like plants?" Her ADHD becomes both a challenge and a superpower, enabling her to hyper-focus on innovative ideas but requiring her to navigate distractions from the mounting pressure.
Emily begins developing a hybrid energy system inspired by bio-mimicry and quantum mechanics. Her vision is to create translucent solar panels that not only capture light but also adapt dynamically to shifting conditions, much like the leaves of a tree. A rival researcher threatens to derail the project by claiming the materials are too experimental to scale in time.
Act 2: Overcoming Obstacles
The team’s first breakthrough comes when they discover a way to integrate perovskite solar cells with nanoparticle-based materials to increase light absorption efficiency. However, their early prototypes fail under real-world conditions, cracking under temperature changes. The countdown clock now shows 14 months.
One night, Emily dreams of a self-healing mechanism inspired by the way human skin repairs itself. The narrative shifts into a surreal dream sequence, where she walks through a futuristic city powered by glowing solar panels. She notices panels "healing" themselves after a storm and wakes up with a vision for using nanoparticle adhesives.
Guided by this insight, Emily presents a new idea to the team: a hybrid solar panel system combining self-healing materials with photosynthetic biological components. The story dramatizes the tension as team members argue over the feasibility of combining biological and synthetic systems, but Emily’s passion and problem-solving skills inspire them to collaborate. A critical test scheduled for two weeks later will determine the project's viability.
Act 3: The Vanguard Prototype
After months of relentless work, the team creates the Solar Vanguard prototype: a bio-inspired energy system capable of functioning in low-light urban environments, adapting to environmental changes, and repairing itself. The final test involves installing the prototype in the blackout-stricken city of Lagos, Nigeria.
In a high-stakes climax, the team faces technical failures during the installation. The countdown clock hits 24 hours as the energy reserves for Lagos approach total depletion. Emily notices a missing component in the energy flow—an overlooked design flaw. Drawing on her earlier experiments, she manually adjusts the prototype, layering the nanoparticle adhesives with a photosynthetic membrane. The system powers on just as the final reserves run out, illuminating the city. The story ends with Emily standing atop a skyscraper, watching the lights come back on as the world’s first sustainable energy city comes to life.
