The Thought Research Initiative is an LLC in the Local 58 universe that has conducted much research into sleep cycles, television transmissions, and the relationship between the two. In 1983, they created the personalized video tape Real Sleep which aimed to give viewers dreamless sleep by (at least in Philip Gerhardt's case) removing their ability to recognize faces through the use of distorted images and subliminal messaging.
Inspecting the source code of the local58.tv website reveals that the 1999 page and the second 2001 page are copyrighted 2012-2021 by Thought Research Initiative LLC.[1] On August 30, 2025, Kris Straub sold copies of the T. Galbraith book "The Parasite Transcendent" in the form of zines with three possible variations from his booth at PAX West in Seattle, Washington.[2] One of these variations is of an internal document from the Thought Research Initiative called "Metamodal Engraph Synthesis Using Syntagmatic Processes."[3] Copyrighted in 2021, the article regards atypical NSSA-3 analog transmissions that began on February 13 of that year. These transmissions are noted to produce "fantails" that approach the limit of subconscious stimuli that people who have reached a stage of delta-wave sleep (the deepest level of sleep) can experience. The report also states that these results are reproducible. A QR code in the bottom left of the page redirects to the second 2021 page of the local58.tv website, which contains a photocopy of a page with a TRI logo matching the one found on the zine, possibly linking the two articles as part of the same document.
