HISTORICAL-CULTURAL Datalink Entry:
KAMIKAZE
The Kamikaze Effect, or God's Wind, was
a proposed consequence of a psion field
of significant size. Should the psion
field reach a threshold level (dependent
on the numbers of active participants),
then the entire human sentient
population of the solar system would be
swept into the field -- the God's Wind.
Anders Flint, who proposed the Kamikaze
Effect, further suggested that only
human sentience would be involved.
Cetaceans, he said, resonated at a
higher frequency than humans, and thus
would be immune to Kamikaze. However, it
would be entirely possible to adjust the
field tuning to include cetacean
sentience.
Flint further speculated that human
beings would be physically removed from
the vicinity of the sun and deposited in
the neighborhood of whatever power
source might be driving the field. This
he, and others of the Intercorp Council,
notably Regent Sable, feared would be
the end of the human species.
Neither the Kamikaze Effect nor the
psion field generator itself have been
verified. Yet PsiLink AI suggests that
with small picoelectronic crystal tuners
such a field is entirely within the
realm of human possibility.
