The Invisible Person Project

A full-body, signature-linked presence-registration blocking suit

Public Technical Disclosure Not Invisibility — Non-Registration X · S · M

A dream of a woman who did not want to be found in her own space: she was there, the knife grazed her, blood appeared — and only then was she registered as a person. This essay treats that dream as a device specification. The Invisible Person Project does not erase the body. It blocks the moment when the wearer is registered as "a person in the space" inside the observer's consciousness. A full-body suit (X) gives the wearer a unique signature (S). The suit emits a localized neural gating signal (M) that selectively suppresses the registration of any entity carrying S. Walls, doors, knives, and other people are perceived normally; only the wearer is missing from the conscious scene.

The Dream of an Unregistered Space

In the dream, a woman did not simply hide her body — she did not want to be registered as "a person in the space." A knife grazed her, blood appeared, and only then did her presence enter the man's consciousness. The project takes that scene as a device specification.

Not Erasing the Body — Blocking Registration of Presence

The wearer stays in the room: feet on the floor, doors openable, body still subject to collision and injury. What is blocked is the process by which the observer's mind registers the wearer as "a person there." A perceptual exclusion, not an optical one.

X — The Second Skin That Marks the Wearer

A stretchable functional layer (TPU/silicone elastomer + flexible electrodes + electroluminescent fibers) covering the entire body — scalp to fingertips — to make the wearer one continuous, addressable object that the neural gating signal can target.

S — The Unique Signature Only the Wearer Carries

A low-contrast temporal color modulation that humans perceive as a single fused color while the visual cortex still responds to its variation (Jiang/Zhou/He 2007). First test code: a 10 Hz signature for tACS phase-locked verification; later 25–30 Hz codes for low-visibility carriers.

M — A Neural Gating Signal That Suppresses Only Presence Registration

M does not blur the visual field or impair the observer's brain. It selectively suppresses the conscious registration of any entity carrying S — drawing on the work that distinguishes non-conscious processing from conscious access (Dehaene & Changeux 2011) and on tACS that biases perception when phase-locked to an external flicker (Fiene et al. 2022).

The First Experiment — Verifying the Selective S × M Interaction

A controlled study: an ordinary person and a full-body-suit wearer in the same scene; S applied digitally to the suit surface only; M delivered as occipital tACS at the same frequency, phase-tuned per participant. Only condition D — S present and M phase-locked — should drop detection of the suit wearer while keeping ordinary people and objects intact.
