QIF-T0011

critical

Intermodulation (BCI signal weaponized)

Tier 5 — Theoretical (Modeled / Simulated)

Legacy status: THEORETICAL

UHF-Mil (225-400 MHz) + MICS (402 MHz) = neural-range beat frequency. BCI's own telemetry signal becomes part of the attack. 398 MHz mil + 402 MHz BCI = 4 Hz theta. Most dangerous coupling mechanism. QI CANNOT detect from signal data alone -- requires resonance shield.

Pathway: N6 (hippocampus/amygdala) → emotion regulation; N5 (striatum/STN) → motor selection

Following Poldrack (2006), brain region disruption does not uniquely predict psychiatric outcomes.
