What is a heartbeat engine?
First, whatever it is, why is it called a “heartbeat engine”? The word “heartbeat” is used because of the superficial (on the surface only) similarity between computer-generated, heart graphics and heart “motion graphics” and computer-generated, textual analysis graphics and “motion graphics.” The word “engine” is used because the process of generating a heartbeat engine is “cyclotronic,” which means, in part, that it involves the use of a type of engine.
What do we mean by “cyclotronic”? The word “cyclotronic” refers to the fact that the heartbeat (heartbeat engine) generation process mirrors the operation of a cyclotron. Technically, a cyclotron is “an accelerator, an engine of sorts, in which charged particles (as protons, deuterons, or ions) are propelled by an alternating electric field in a constant magnetic field.” For our purposes, we need to focus on the idea of an “accelerator.” An accelerator is an apparatus for imparting high velocities to charged particles, like electrons. Much, much more simply put, it is a machine that takes an electron and makes it go faster. Think of it this way:
You are in a department store. The escalator has stopped working. You start climbing the stairs. All of a sudden, the escalator begins to move. Now, your speed of ascent has increased. This is because your speed is now due to your action plus the action of the escalator.
Now, picture an escalator a mile long. Suddenly, the escalator starts moving a hundred miles an hour. Your speed is much more increased. You are like the electron in an accelerator.
Now, imagine that someone has taken the mile-long escalator and bent it around so that it connects with itself at the bottom and forms a circle. You continue to take steps on the escalator as you whiz along in a circle. You are like an electron in a special type of accelerator called a “cyclotron.” Cyclotrons are, in fact, (huge) circular devices.
PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING A HEARTBEAT ENGINE
Here is how an engine (heartbeat engine) is generated:
1. Ancient biblical manuscripts (or certifiably reliable, modern copies of them) are collected.
2. The ancient biblical manuscripts are scanned. Scanning is taking a document and storing it on a magnetic media, like a disk drive. This allows you to do a number of things, including viewing the manuscripts on a computer screen.
3. The digital manuscripts (electronic manuscript copies) are transliterated. Transliteration is taking a word in the alphabet of one language, in this case, ancient Greek, and converting it into the alphabet of another language, in this case, modern English. Here is the transliteration of the Greek word for “God,” “theos.”

4. Keep in mind that each step in the HX (Heartbeat Engine) building process involves, directly or indirectly, tens of thousands of digital manuscripts. The next step is to cross-reference every word in the Greek manuscripts with numerous lexical, etymological, semantic, caltextual, and other (some of these are currently proprietary relative to the L. F. Nexus) sources. This results in a matrix (something like a table) (see Table 1) (this is a simplified, ENGLISH-EQUIVALENT “planar matrix” for the first six words in John 3:16):

The numbers correspond to numbers in other matricies (matrixes). These other matricies contain information that has been translated into a numerical language. For example, “000003” represents the word “the.” The following graphic will give you some concept of the (multiple) cross-referencing involved (graphic takes a second to load):
FIGURE 2
We call a set of matricies that are multiply cross-referenced a “matrix cluster” (see Figure 2).
We use multiple matrix clusters in the next phase of the HEBX (Heartbeat Engine Building Process) process.
5. We call a coordinated set of matrix clusters a “matrix supercluster” (see Figure 3 [graphic takes a second to load]).
The next phase is a totally new innovation in artificial intelligence data processing (a type of CIDP [Cyborg Intelligence {the first, true artificial intelligence technology} Data Processing]). This is the “cyclotronic” step in the HEBX process.
FIGURE 3
A special viroid (a friendly computer virus) we call a “viroid spider” is introduced into the matrix supercluster (see Figure 3). The viro-spider (viroid spider) “has a mind of its own.” In other words, it has been designed to look for certain characteristics in the data and only those characteristics. It does this relentlessly. More important, THE DATA IT COLLECTS RESULTS IN VIROID SELF-MODIFICATION. THE VIROID CHANGES. THE VIROID “LEARNS.” THE VIROID BECOMES “SMARTER.” During the “cyclotronic incursion” (viro-spider processing), we DO NOT KNOW what the viroid is learning.
IT IS AFTER THE VIROID HAS DONE ITS JOB THAT WE FIND OUT WHAT IT HAS LEARNED.
Initially, the viro-spider – usually the VS4 (VS.1.067.4) viro-spider – is allowed one cycle through the supercluster. We then “bleed” the viroid to find out what it has learned. If it is a “dumb ‘viroid,’” we move on to a smarter “viroid,” like our VS5. This single-cycle-single-bleed process is continued until we find a viroid that makes an “original discovery,” something we didn’t know before.
At this point, the real cyclotronic magic begins. The viro-spider begins to cycle through the supercluster. After its initial pass, the locks that prevent recycling are automatically removed and the viro-spider flies through the supercluster examining data, drawing conclusions, and modifying its DEX (Data Examination) plan. As it changes its DEX plan, it obtains the ability to search for new types of data. It also obtains the ability to draw new types of conclusions from both old and new types of data. With each pass through the supercluster it gets “smarter” and “smarter.” With current technology, the viro-spider can make a million passes in one minute.
6. Once CSI (Cyclotronic Supercluster Incursion [see step 5]) is complete the viro-spider is transferred to a staging platform where its “plasma” (data) is “bled off.” The plasma data is then injected into what we call an HDEX (Heartbeat Engine Designer). The HDEX takes the plasma data and generates millions of multiply cross-referenced matricies like those in figure 2. These new matricies contain the computer-generated data that will be used to generate new HXi (Heartbeat Engines).
7. The final step is to transfer the HDEX matricies into either our “SGA” or “MGA.” The SGA is the Still Graphics Analyzer. The MGA is the Motion Graphics Analyzer. The images at First Heartbeat Engine On The Internet: Heartbeat Engine HX.AD.001 are SGA images. We have not put any MGA images (“movies”) on-line yet. MGA images provide a million times more information than SGA images. The SGA generates DRGs (Data Responsive Graphics).
Heartbeat Engines are the DRGs that provide insight into the streams of transmission (manuscript families).
The graphics are called “responsive” because they change with changes in the data IN PREDICTABLE WAYS (learned through many difficult years of research and experimentation).
Here is a picture of our SGA – a modified TMC (Thinking Machines Corporation) CM-5 supercomputer with 1,024 SPARC vector-accelerated processors (~1,000 GFLOPS/16,000 CPUs theoretical, 0.128 GFLOPS Peak/CPU) (picture takes a second to load). Note that you don’t need sophisticated technology like ours to build your own SGA. You can make a low-grade SGA out of a desktop computer. One of our goals is to have thousands of King James Bible defenders build their own SGAs and related technology so that they can reproduce our results, albeit on a much smaller scale.
