Teed / Koreshanity — Cellular Cosmogony
textDefense & Military-Industrial
A 19th-century cult leader insisted we all live on the INSIDE of a hollow sphere — and staged a fake science experiment to 'prove' it.
Who they are
Cyrus Reed Teed (calling himself 'Koresh') and his Koreshanity 'Cellular Cosmogony.'
What they do
It's an inverted hollow-Earth belief claiming the entire universe sits inside a concave sphere with humanity living on the inner surface.
How it works
Starting in 1869 Teed taught the universe was inside a hollow sphere about 8,000 miles across, and in 1897 his Koreshan Geodetic Survey at Naples Beach, Florida used a device called the 'rectilineator' (run by surveyor Ulysses Grant Morrow — not the president) to claim about 8 inches per mile of upward curvature through rigged optical methods.
Why it matters
The engine marks the claim as flatly false and as a 'conditioning function' — a cult reality-bubble built on faked evidence and seeing patterns that aren't there.
The engine's record — word for word
[Report #115 — Inner-World] [web-checked Jun 18 2026] Cyrus Reed Teed ('Koresh', from 1869) inverted the geometry: the universe is INSIDE a concave hollow sphere ~8,000 miles diameter, humanity on the interior surface. The 1897 Koreshan Geodetic Survey at Naples Beach FL deployed the 'rectilineator' (directed by surveyor Ulysses Grant Morrow — NOT the U.S. president) and claimed ~8 inches/mile of upward (concave) curvature via forced optical/mechanical methods. DISPOSITION: literal-falsified + conditioning-function (a cult reality-tunnel; fabricated empiricism, weaponized_pareidolia).
