DDR Sci-Fi: Der Blaue Planet

 The Blue Planet

Carlos Rasch, born 1932 in Brazil, was a Sci-Fi author in DDR. This book is about the earliest history of humans, and the aliens that visited us then.

A long time ago, towards the middle of our galaxy, a red star created the Heloid people, who breathed different air from us. They learned atomic spaceflight while we were still in our diapers, and joined the tightly clustered society of spacefarers in that central region.

From the far edge of the galaxy they received a friendly message. The lonely Teloid civilization beckoned them for contact and the long journey to a galactic meeting. Thus the Kua set forth with its crew of seven, near the speed of light. Maybe they can meet the Teloids and even make contacts outside the galaxy.

The Heloids on board are described as shadows, and one imagines the darkened cabins and bridges of a people who evolved in the pleasant burgundy of a red star. They are creatures of time dilation on this long journey, and detours are calculated in terms of deceleration and deficit of lifespan to make it all the way to the rim. 

Another calculation on board is how much atomic fuel is spent. It is efficient in terms of time and fuel to zip at almost the speed of light, but something happens between Sirius and an unknown yellow star. The vacuum chamber of the ultrasonic gyroscope, without which they would be lost in space, springs a leak. The rotating spheres heat up and catastrophically explode within their chamber. 

The crew is prompted to land on the third planet from the yellow sun. To their red eyes, the surface of the Earth seems to be covered in blue magma, but they realize over time how lush and alive this planet is. On orbiting, it is yet unknown whether intelligent life inhabits, as no radio transmissions are received.

The Heloids send their Arrow, a slim rocket, down to the planet, descending on a column of blazing light. Meanwhile, Ia-Du-Lin, a messenger from the river cities, is leading his donkey through the desert. He witnesses the descent, and expects the sun goddess to emerge from the sleek ship.

When Sil the astronaut emerges in his environmental suit, his leather face unseen under a smoked glass helmet, Ia-Du-Lin knows his mission is holy, to implore the people of the ocean city to trade their lapis lazuli for the adornment of his temple to the sun goddess.

Sil noted the life-form wore clothing, and had a quadruped on a rope. The Heloids only wish to make peaceful contact and they respect all life everywhere. He is overjoyed to make contact with an intelligent being. He rubs cream on the radiation burns from observing the rocket, and gives him a golden space blanket, a magic cloak of the gods.

Sil floods his rocket with alien air, and invites the man aboard. He begins automatic translation of his speech, which will stay patchy throughout, leading to many misunderstandings of the religious sort. He asks Ia-Du-Lin about his friend, to which he replies "it's a donkey, silly!" On parting, Sil gives him a little obelisk, a beacon to stay in contact, and also some Gatorade.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew clears a space out at the southern end of the Dead Sea, using atomic radiation to burn a landing pad, and hewing stones from the mountains into giant templar blocks to construct an atomic blast shield for further landings. All the humans around have now heard the celestial trombones and seen the columns of holy fire, and are anxious about the upcoming visitations.

The Heloids have good intentions but no prime directive. The book is a headache worth of entrenchment in religious situations and god-posing, but in the end the astronauts pay the most price because they truly love and respect the baby humans.

Ia-Du-Lin rings Sil on the obelisk phone. He is enslaved by sand people, can you come and help? Sil has godly wrath that intelligent beings would enslave each other, and almost smites them after freeing his friend, but chooses to deliver a speech instead. He tries to explain scientifically that the Heloids are astronauts, and are animals just like humans, but the universal translator says, "We are sons of heaven, and Ia-Du-Lin a donkey." Ia-Du-Lin, embarrassed, heads to the hills. 

The humans go back and forth a few times enslaving each other, and each time the aliens must cut their bonds with a laser and give a little speech. Each time the misunderstandings compound, and Ia-Du-Lin who was an innocent messenger, becomes more conceited to use the gods for his own career. 

The lapis lazuli negotiations did not go well, and now the river city is under siege by the other city. The Heloids must step in again, and convince them to lay down their weapons, amidst infighting between the priests and the army. Ia-Du-Lin stands to profit. The Heloids descend on their rings and stars of smoke, and force a peace between the cities.

There's something about a positivist sci-fi novel that avoids concepts such as the prime directive, or rules against interfering in primitive cultures. Maybe it's a Soviet concept that technology should be radically promoted and shared in a revolutionary way, to spread Marxist values as swiftly as possible?

Now that the two cities have agreed to trade lapis lazuli for wheat, the Heloids turn their attention to compulsory burials, and visit the catacombs outside the city. The priests traditionally poisoned all who served a decease noble, to be buried alongside. This disgusts the Heloids, and they save those who are buried alive. They also irradiate the tombs and give a little speech warning against the ancient custom and that anyone who steps foot in the burial grounds will be dead in a year. Radiation is a radical incitement to destroy the barbarism of the pre-modern.

As the Heloids have fixed their gyroscope and are prepared to leave, an earthquake strikes, and threatens a tsunami. The pre-history accounts for various mythical occurrences such as the great flood. The earthquake destroyed the Kua's nuclear fuel collector, and they realize they have only a few options, to head home or headlong to the edge of the galaxy without a return trip.

But they choose instead to sacrifice a great portion of their remaining fuel to help the humans, who have not yet taken refuge from the flood. Instead of loading it on board, they create a critical mass to explode the mountains between the sea and an inland lake, allowing the flood-head to dissipate. 

Ia-Du-Lin meets his fate, as he bum-rushes a Heloid, tries to steal her laser, and ends up melting his own face. His golden space blanket is flapping in the wind as the floodwaters recede. In a short conclusion, it is mused that perhaps the humans may meet the Heloids in the far future.

Starbucks of Berlin: Lower Friedrichstrasse

Today I went to Starbucks to think about transistors. To do that, I biked due west on Urbanstrasse, and then turned north to cross the river. This road goes by some of my favorite postmodern buildings, such as the SPD Haus, center of social democratic party politics in Berlin. Also, it hosts my son's Kendo tournaments, I am told.

Approaching the old wall, and crossing it, we are reminded of the past history of surveillance, and the relationship with Eastern Bloc. The Embassy of the Czech Republic is a wonderful futuristic building from the seventies DDR. Unfortunately, it is gated, and I could not get in to snap some photos in dark walkways beneath it, which apparently featured some Soviet ceramic murals.

Oh well, moving on, and looping around to my destination, a spacious Starbucks on Friedrichstrasse. It is nearing some elections in Germany, and apparently the far right party AfD owns the block around this Starbucks!

Now I am thinking about what it means to be far right, or what it means to be social democrat. Since I am writing today about transistors, I am confronted with the bipolar relationship between PNP and NPN. Perhaps the PNP is the dark lord of right wing politics, because it is so over bearing from its populist core? And the NPN is social because they match and talk to each other, with social distancing intact inside the chip?

Let's dive deeper. Entering the 'bucks, I am greeted with Jazz house music, and order a large mug of filter coffee. I want to write a little about some recent research and practical experience with amplifier chips and their positive flavored substrate. 

Did you know that about half the silicon boules in the world are doped positive (with boron) and the other half (with arsenic) negative? We only use the positive ones for chipmaking, whilst negative wafers go almost exclusively to solar panels. I often think about the relationship between my discrete PNP versus NPN transistors, and they come from the two different flavors, but that is actually a small slice of the market besides chipmaking. 

I gazed at the indoor plants, sipped from my huge mug and checked, and the split is about half and half between chips and solar. I know that this system is optimized for holes and electron carriers in operation, but what if some foundry made a process that used negative boules? That is, the emitters of pnp transistors would have the strongest doping, and the npn transistors would be inferior but have access to the body diode for a vertical emitter follower. The body would be connected to positive, and this rail would be thought of more and more as ground, in a negative supply system. Like the old BOSS pedals.

The transistor structures in a regular silicon chip vary widely for different purposes: gain, current and voltage handling, and speed. In the earliest days, pioneers like Bob Widlar had to basically only use NPN transistors, because they were limited by process expenses. The collectors are the first light arsenical plateaus formed, then a heavier boron inset for the bases, and finally a rich arsenic in a tight core forms the emitters. This forms the best beta transistors, isolated from the wafer by reverse diode. 

The process for isolated npn integrated circuits is thus only three steps: n, p, and n. However, to form a pnp transistor, you first have to isolate an area from the body, which is already doped p. So a whole process step is wasted just to isolate the collectors. Furthermore, the rich arsenic isn't used and beta suffers. Silicon designers had to be really tricky, creating different ring structures for emitter and collector with the one boron step available. Since the base is the whole perimeter area, basically beta is upside down and out of control. They are more lateral than vertical and the results were always imprecise.

Later designers transcended the pnp limitations by adding extra processes and using p-channel field effect devices. However, it is important to note the one powerful form of PNP that was always available: a vertical emitter follower with the body as collector. For example, I sipped some coffee and then I started sketching on graph paper, how an LM3900 Norton amplifier would be doped. You can see my results here. It starts on the left with the NPN mirror and gain transistor. Their emitters stare at us like candy in a current bun. But then the fourth transistor is this powerful, PNP that only has two layers: the third layer is the wafer itself, so it is directly modulating current from the grounded chip!

 

In this chip there are also some PNP structures which are formed in the compromised process I mentioned above, with meta-structures and pseudo field effects. They are for micro-current references however, and one of them is basically a boostrapped diode, so they are not in the strict beta matching regime that the input transistors need to hold to. The output of this chip comes from the emitter of the body-collector PNP, coupled to a normal NPN emitter follower.  

This highly effective power relationship pervades most of the opamp output structures you can see, except for Bob Widlars very first effort, the 702 from 1964. One thinks that Bob was in the trickiest mood when he designed this; maybe he had written off PNP as frivolities, maybe he was inspired by older tube designs such as the Philbrick. In any case, he only used NPN transistors, but on his very next design, he immediately gave in and employed the body follower, his first and most powerful PNP placement.

My source is "IC Op-Amps Through the Ages," by Thomas H. Lee. You can see how I circled the PNP follower on the output stage of the OP-07, in Starbucks' house brew. 

Recently I had some experience which really brought the nature of this body follower home. I was using the TDA2822, low power bridge amplifier for a long time, in solar sounders and my line of Tocante solar touch instruments. Realizing the nature of the ground current loop in all amplifiers helped explain a big problem that I fixed by magic.

The ground on these devices was previously connected through a tenuous trace that wound under the input capacitors. Sure it had enough power available, but did it have the rf magic? Apparently, as time goes on, amplifiers like the TDA2822 use smaller, more efficient processes, making their input structure more sensitive and susceptible to magical interference. The size of the PNP body follower probably stayed the same, but it sinks current directly from the wafer, and that can easily start effecting the sensitive current sources that serve as bias and compensating. Basically, the sweetest Tocantes, the Zenert filtered noise and the Phashi sine waves, sounded like fart.

Actually, in the older version, the NJM2073, by Japan National Radio, you can see that the sink output was not a PNP follower, like Bob's original design. This may be intentional, to avoid having a body follower. In any case, they always sounded better, even in poorly grounded situations. The version input, however, always remained a PNP follower with grounded (body) collector. You can see it in both the NJM2073 and the TDA2822. The ground loop would be inevitable once it came to a body follower on the output. 

One day I cut some traces on the fart machines by mistake, including ground. Reconsidering my ground layout fixed everything, in an audio application that would normally not bother with rf magic. Now I'm drinking coffee and gazing at bustling Berlin, and realizing how tied together these PNP transistors are, and they can really mess up the politics of the chip.

 

If you look at my rough sketch of the TDA2822 silicon doping, you can see a sensitive PNP input transistor, and a powerful PNP output transistor all sharing the same boronic piece of silicon ohmically on their collectors. That is why we need to ground analog well. In fact, grounding is more important than bypassing the positive supply!

DDR Sci-Fi: Sinobara

Sinobara

Thomas K. Reich, born 1951 in Reichenbach, Saxony, was an educated Meteorologist and Geologist. He wrote mostly scientific non-fiction. Sinobara is his only Sci-Fi work.  

In this future, the earth has received transmissions from the distant Eridanus civilization, which lies outside the reach of current space travel. Instead of going there directly, the earth must build a multi-generational chain of outpost worlds, such as Sinobara, where a colony is presently being built.

Sinobara has no complex animals or even insects, just plants and bichordates: a primitive and harmless crawling animal. A supernova had caused the extinction of all sophisticated life more than a million years ago. It has life, but not much diversity; it is lonely in a creepy way.

The outpost on Sinobara can survive with the mineral reserves it has found, but they need coal to be truly independent. A mission had already been sent into the wilderness of forests, but disappeared suddenly. 

The next mission employed an armored vehicle, like a camper with lasers for clearing the way. On this mission, two petrologists for preparing the test bores, a chemist for analyzing the minerals, a biologist, and the leader. 

The team quickly does find a limited amount of coal reserves, and the success ameliorates the colony’s energy deadline, but the team continues. A recurring theme is the friction between Ronson the chemist and Ingstorm the biologist, who have survived a gruesome incident together, wherein a beloved comrade, Mirjam, died, and which they blame each other for. Ingstorm has his famous astrobiological theory, which states that although life is infinitely diverse, plants remain immobile and animals mobile: 

"Plants are open Systems, animals are closed … there can be no intermediate form."

Ronson criticizes the theory as geocentric, and indeed the planet Sinobara threatens to undermine the theory, when it reveals a yet unknown denizen of the wild forest: the mobilophyten. These life forms have plant cells and growth characteristics, but are mobile like animals, and have a sensory ability to seek out the nitrogen afforded by bichordate colonies. The pose little threat to the humans, but may unwittingly have caused dangers, from their modification of the local geology to build terraced breeding ponds which spontaneously burst and sundered the previous mission. 

Ingstroms fundamental theory of astrobiology is under threat by the half-animal half-plant intermediate forms, and he defends his theory arrogantly, giving up in the end. The crew must think creatively to understand how the mobilophytes operate, to avoid endangering themselves and the lifeforms. 

The story is told from a group perspective, and instead of a violent monster or alien cliche, the challenges are more subtle, and a spooky depth comes from the perplexity of trying to understand the truly incomprehensible alien. No revelation or communication comes in the end, but the mission returns to plan the first coal mines of many at the edge of the wilderness.

Glossary 

• Protonenwerfer: the multipurpose weapon and tool of choice on board the Herkules, a titanic land exploration tank. 
• Mobilophyten: Plants that have mobility on planet Sinobara
• Zwischenformen: A form of life with characteristics in between two kingdoms.
• Reizempfindlich: Sensitive to stimulation. The problem is how does a plant communicate and react to stimulation without a central nervous system.
• Analogtheorie: A scientific process of relating two systems with seemingly similar properties, such as Sinobara's mobilophyten with Earth's plants. However, the limits of this theory are tested. 
• Kombination: A typical Soviet future has the crew dressed in one-piece uniform overalls. 
• Vernunftgabe: Beings capable of reasoning. It is hard to detect whether the mobilophyten can reason, or even communicate. However, they do modify the environment in a way that suggests goals, creating wetland habitat for bichordates as nutrients, and raised limestone structures for reproduction. In the end, it is dubious that they are reasoning beings with goals, but rather their life processes themselves induce survival. What Richard Dawkins means when he postulates that genes have a survival instinct. Also, like the scallops in St. Brieuc Bay, part of a network with agency assigned to non-reasoning actors.
• Geozentrismus: The idea that on an alien planet, scientists try to understand the phenomena by referencing earthly processes, that may be a false assumption.

Quantus Barney: Secluded Residence @ Radio Shack, Part XIII

The president wants to switch the internet off.

The button wants to be pushed. It has a force field of power of trembling hands that dare approach it, for fear of interrupting all online commerce instantly.

Monassi is an amber, assymetrical button, with an unpleasantly yet tacky side to the rear, a void of unmixed epoxy resin created by the artist, late at night, after a chariot ride, who all too hastily improvised a button out of too hastily stirred materials. Monassi seemls like a popup alien technology from a cheap movie. Little air bubbles are suspended in the improperly mixed material, along with a pubic hair.

"Might as well add a seashell and snow to make a duckpond landscape within," snorted Blanc, who was currently inside monkletto. "I've casted lead, i can steam bend wood, but i've never spent so long on a single resin button. This'd better be good."

"Monklert, it will be good." Monklert is the name of the persona when Monkletto talks to himself late at night, to the Blanc inside himself.

Monassi wants to be pushed, and wants to feel like an ancient relic, like grandma's face, when finally touched. There's no internet in grandma's house, but memories of freshly washed, old, bedsheets.

Monassi gives you your smell memory back. Like a band of scrolling material, impregnated with different touch sensations: gravel, duck feathers. At such a concert, the audience is invited to approach the band at the edge of the stage, and regain your touch memories. The scrolling touch band is the thin shoreline between the ocean of senses and the land of drinkers.

Monassi is another rocker on this stage, wanting to actuate, yet there is a powerful field surrounding it, the hesitancy, or angst, of other actors to actually trigger Monassi. 

Monkletto stepped outside. The clear sun warmed him, and the cafe chatted with itself behind its yarns. Monassi caught some sun and sparkled like honey.

"Maybe the gooey back part will cure in time, in the sunlight?" Monkletto wondered to himself. But it didn't ever really cure, remaining gooey to accumulate a crust of pigeon debris, as Monkletto and Blanc tossed it back and forth outside the cafe. 

After speaking for a bit with a grunge dude about last nights chariot rides, Blanc felt down on Monassi, bursting with the trembling of masked emotion, "This button isn't any better than a piece of gum embedded in the sidewalk of a tiny Ohio town."

"Monassi will be great, though, by forming an emotional field by her imperfect electronic materials."

Under the fearless hand of the president, Monassi as button, gooey in the back, creates emotional tension for all internetted Americans, some of them authentic, some not.

The idea of the band of touch sensations, I owe to my dad. Late one night, he was driving me alone in a car, through the mountains of Pennsylvania. He recounted this idea, as one personally beholden to him, that he had imagined as a child. In it, he imagines a musical show occurring on the stage, and at the front lip of the stage, a band of canvas is scrolling that has different materials embedded, so the audience can feel certain sensations on their fingers, cued to the music.

Bonus Poem

Blanc poked in the papyrus.

Blanc attended the conference of detritus painters.

Monkletto is the pharoah, naturally narcissistic.

Blanc teaches authenticity to gilded, but deaf, ears.

Good Blanc is ancient Blanc. 

Bad Blanc is modern. Their identities smudge,

Blanc and Monkletto together in a ghillie suit.

Blanc posing in ghillie suit, face unseen, in front of Hanumann's barn.

Ages later, the basement rooms are painted black, 

the new youth program is about astronomy. 

posters of planets and galaxies cover the walls. 

space rock is played there, after a prayer, 

micro doses of psychedelic mushrooms are distributed.

Mister Norton, Poetics and Principles, Chapter 4, The Tierhorn

Ted was high in the castle tower that he rented, daydreaming of ivy.

Bill was in the tower too, leaning out and watching a herd of 

    deer approaching the village clearing. 

When they were at the edge he shot an arrow that killed the deer

    and the people who cheered all came below except for Ted, 

    who appeared high atop the castle tower:

• In anakin leathers,

• Pale and clammy

• Lips stained by the wine of truth

• Ostensibly To celebrate the feast of the beast, waving an arrow. 

His face suddenly puckered and aiming at bill he said,

We are the same person therefore if 

    we both hunt deer one will disappear.

Then he shot, and hit a crow which the 

    village ate quietly along the deer.

 

What follows are the usages of Norton amplifiers in the new instrument by Ciat-Lonbarde, called Cafeteria. It is a complete rehaul and recreation of the Cocoquantus, divided into three modules: Digital Cafe, Quantum Experiment, and (special edition) Tier Horn.

The preamp of the cafe uses one Norton amplifier (Application Note 72, LM3900, A new Current-Differencing Quad of Plus or Minus Input Amplifiers, Texas Instruments), with two PNP differential pairs, one for digital feedback and the other an input preamp. Thus, the most direct path between DAC and ADC is driven with the simplest silicon. Each differential pair is driven by a current mirror, serviced by an arp-serge apparatus.

There are five such oscillators in the Quantum Experiment, which is depicted at the bottom as platters of bric-a-brac shapes in a loop of flitty voltage samplers. The Quantum is thus abstracted in this schematic. At the top, one Norton (Application Note 72, LM3900, A new Current-Differencing Quad of Plus or Minus Input Amplifiers, Texas Instruments) acts as VCA to modulate the frequency of the main oscillator, composed of two Nortons: integrator and hysterizer. It gets a miniscule biasing current from the fourth Norton in the package. The VCA is controlled by a simple arp apparatus, and the main oscillator, by an arp-serge apparatus.

The tierhorn is a special edition deerhorn with a true heterodyning theremin. In the center are the two radio coils, feeding a four quadrant current multiplier, integrated by Mr Norton (Application Note 72, LM3900, A new Current-Differencing Quad of Plus or Minus Input Amplifiers, Texas Instruments). Continuing down, the sine wave is converted to pulses for a tachometer, like on the datasheet. Flip flops make the pulses into undertones for the dubstep filter. But first the voltage from the tachometer goes through two boundary circuits with variable decay. The boundary signals and tachometer are subtracted to create an error signal for the stereo enveloped theremin outputs. The boundary signals also feed a wobble oscillator (top right), which bounces between those boundaries, then modulating the state variable filter (top left, note that it only requires two Nortons). 12 Nortons total in the fleet.

Tarsh is an adaptation of Shtar.

Now there are at least four things:

Mister Norton, Poetics and Principles, Chapter 3, The Ringler Clicker

 April 2003:

A Musik like whirring propeller blades was heard, 

and the plush curtain lifted from Ted’s plant.

It was withered.

Ted said, this April we had a freezing event, 

which bonsai of the sumac, 

crippling and making micro leaves. 

But here is the symphony in the wound, 

Ted said, brushing the foliage.

You-- 

            bald trombonists gaze into the curly mysteries at the event.

 

Here is a new circuit using only BT:NORTONs. It is for making two clicks, such as in the military clicker for seeking landscape features at night, using your ears. Thus each click must have a symphony in a millisecond, according to Jan St. Werner. An hysterical oscillator is purposed for pulse trains and envelopes, with varying slopes and frequencies.


 

Two oscillators and two swoops, which is almost identical to oscillator but it has a pulse input and it is saturated to stay low until triggered. The capacitors of the two oscillators and two swoops are switched to heavier ones by a guest star, the 4066, to make musical mode out of click mode. The two oscillators enter a ringmod at the north pole, and the two swoops enter a ringmod at the south pole, and these and their inversions become the modulations for the oscillators. Rungler inspired ringler, in that they process and feedback to the modulations. Ringlers, however, are a gentler more analog and symphonic sound. In this cursive schematic, hollow twiddles are npn and dotted twiddles are pnp. The curly cue of each 3900 is verted input, because it pulls back and towards the main thornal output. Both inputs are current to ground, which inspires the whole foliage of dotted curlicue eyes (Application Note 72, LM3900, A new Current-Differencing Quad of Plus or Minus Input Amplifiers, Texas Instruments).

Bt had a speaker rotated back into a concrete bunker, that way he can access the volume controls and input, which are on the back, and he can test pulses echoing in a concrete chamber

The rungler was a data misinterpretation of a modem. The ringler is a simpler analog confuser fed back.
