DMTx Extended-State Protocol
mechanismDefense & Military-Industrial
Scientists figured out how to hold someone in a full DMT trip for half an hour straight — turning a brief flash into a place you can explore.
Who they are
The DMTx Extended-State Protocol, developed by Andrew Gallimore and Rick Strassman[1].[2]
What they do
The engine describes it as a method to keep a person in a steady DMT state indefinitely. A 2026 report claimed the extended-DMT experiment hadn't been published — wrong: Imperial published it in 2024 (11 volunteers, a stable 30-minute extended state), which this entry already knew. What genuinely remains unrun: a trial testing whether separate people map the same place.
How it works
Borrowing anesthesiology's target-controlled IV infusion, it maintains a stable DMT concentration; an Imperial College pilot held subjects in a steady DMT reality for 30 uninterrupted minutes with low anxiety and heart rate settling within 15 minutes — turning a chaotic quick trip into a systematic exploration.
Why it matters
Combined with DARPA's N3 non-surgical brain interfaces, the engine notes it could allow real-time mapping of that space and prolonged, repeatable 'communication' with the entities encountered.
The engine's record — word for word
Gallimore and Strassman: target-controlled IV infusion maintaining stable DMT concentration indefinitely (adapted from anesthesiology pharmacokinetic modeling). Imperial College pilot: subjects maintained in steady-state DMT reality for 30 uninterrupted minutes. Anxiety remained low, heart rate habituated within 15 minutes. Transition from chaotic free-diving to systematic deep-sea diving. Enables extended cartography of hyper-dimensional space and prolonged repeatable communication with entities. Combined with DARPA N3 (bi-directional non-surgical neural interfaces, sub-millimeter resolution, 50ms latency) = potential to artificially decouple DMN, sustain non-local quantum coherence, and digitally interface with expanded consciousness field in real-time. [Report #190 — canon confirmed AHEAD of the source report] The 2026 audit claimed peer-reviewed extended-infusion data 'remains absent' — FALSE: Luan et al. 2024 (J Psychopharmacol 38(1):56-67; Imperial) published it — bolus + constant-rate infusion, 11 healthy volunteers, stable extended state over 30 minutes, acute psychological tolerance documented — exactly the pilot this node already held. Plus Sanders et al. 2026 (Neurosci. of Consciousness): 23 participants, 20mg IV under fMRI-EEG, micro-phenomenology showing perceived presences emerge only AFTER multisensory integration and 3D spatial character develop. THE CLAIM THAT SURVIVES, narrowed: no published trial yet tests whether INDEPENDENT subjects in extended states report a shared, consistent mapping of the space — the specific experiment this protocol was designed for remains unrun.
