One of the great revelations of 20th century science is that all existence can be broken down into simple wave functions. Every photon, energy emission, and elementary particle rings with its own unique wave signature. When we see a color, we are actually seeing a distinct frequency of visible light. When we hear a sound, our eardrums are actually being vibrated by subtle waves in the air molecules around us. Even the neurochemical processes of human consciousness ­ our very thoughts ­ ring with their own distinct wave patterns. By studying the way that waves interact with other waves, researchers have found that even low-powered oscillations can have enormous effects on standing waves, physical structures, and even the human brain. The principle which describes this particular wavelength interaction is known as resonance. In a later experiment using the same principle, Tesla clamped an oscillator to one of the exposed ground floor beams of a half built ten-story steel building.

[2.0] Refining The Art. v2.3.1 / chapter 2 of 13 / 01 nov 12 / greg goebel / public domain * The invention of frequency analysis made simple monoalphabetic substitution ciphers much too easy to crack, and led cryptographers to design new and more formidable codes and ciphers over the next centuries; the contest between codemaker and codebreaker escalated to a higher level. In the meantime, the general public began to recognize the use of codes and ciphers, and simple cryptosystems came into popular use. * The Arab world was well ahead of the West in cryptanalysis, but in European monasteries, monks engaged in analysis of Biblical texts kept interest in cryptology alive in the West. Their interest was provoked partly by the fact that the original Hebrew sources of the Old Testament actually include enciphered words, though more as a literary gimmick than to keep secrets. The French codebreaking tradition began with Philibert Babou, who was followed by Francois Viete.
