"We each live in a somewhat unique world of our own psychological content."
- Philip K. Dick

| Visigraphic Crowd Emotional Record | ||
| A graphic record of the emotions of a crowd. |
| “I need make no verbal report. These unprejudiced witnesses will report for me.” He indicated the rolls and canisters. “A moving solidograph of all that transpired in the Great Square.
A transcription of each word spoken by Brother Jarles, and, synchronized with both, a visigraphic record of the major neuro-emotional waves emitted by the crowd during his harangue. A graphic analysis, made at Cathedral Control Center, of the apparent physical nature of the shell which closed around Brother Jarles and carried him off. A transcription of the words and laughter that came at the end. With the usual supplements.” |
