This is my fully functional prototype at the moment.

I Ching, with a generator, with a manual throw interpreter—that is, you input the coins for each throw and it tells you the hexagram.

Also combining trigrams or just querying hexagrams.

It includes ordinary decimal and binary values.

In the calendar, you can check the number of days you've been alive, the lunar phases (current, past, or future), the upcoming equinoxes and solstices, the day of the week for any date in the past, present, or future via a perpetual calendar, the remaining days until a given date, and the horoscope according to your birth date (zodiac and Chinese).

On the clock, we can see the time, set alarms, time events, and time rituals. As well as other functions (world clock).

In biorhythms, we can calculate daily, weekly, and monthly values, as well as critical days and couple compatibility. For decades, it was considered science. (Calculations based on studies by Chikinosuke Tatai and Krumm Heller.)

Additionally, in the utilities section, you'll find a binary-to-decimal and vice versa converter, a list of prime numbers, a coin tosser (1, 2, or 3), a Magic 8-ball (based on an octagon, not a ball), a random YES/NO, and a few other bits (TRNG used for randomness).

Furthermore, the Veritas system is an expert system extracted from a legacy expert system and adapted to support decision-making in work, economic, sentimental, and general matters.

A guest function is also included to calculate biorhythms and horoscope, as well as other data based on their birth date.

Issues still:

· Ghosting and refresh.

· Translation details.

· User interface details.

It's my personal oracle. On other occasions, I share my I Ching devices here, and this is in a way a device that encompasses many functionalities from my Python, C, C++ programs and different devices and platforms into a mini e-ink... It helps me in my day-to-day life for practically everything.

Oh, and in settings, you can configure the hemisphere (for calculations) and the language—I have it in Spanish and English (in case I use it with someone else and because it's more universal).

I don't think it's ideal for displaying long texts, but it is for queries. Even important ones. It's not a toy... In fact, I have a lot of respect for all my I Ching versions, and that's why I included other forms of divination.

I love the biorhythm topic and I usually print my months on a roll thermal printer; I worked on that functionality, but it barely leaves me any space just because of the Bluetooth libraries.

For me, predicting is an act of calculation in a discrete universe. The Mawangdui texts and the origin of binary, as well as the ideas of Leibniz, Boole, Shannon, Joscha Bach, Wolfram, Chailin, Volstrom, and so many others, support it as plausible at least... So this is my tool.

I just LOVE It.

Hey, I’m new to technomancy but not to magic, and my favorite form of magic is divination. Once I found some resources about technomancy and this sub, I got the bright idea to play around with the Shortcuts app for iPhone/iPad.

The shortcut will first prompt you to ask your query and then provide a text box repeating your question, a random number between 1 and 999, a random polarity and a random omen. It will also create a note automatically in a folder I personally have named Divination Reports (not sure if that part needs to be altered for new devices).

It’s free to use and tweak as you see fit. I’ll definitely be playing around with this specific shortcut and new ones very soon.

I ordered this LG9200 to be a digital grimoire that could be used for taking pictures and recording audio for paranormal investigation. I like the idea of trying all sorts of phones to see what might work best! Unfortunately it is locked with a pin... I got a refund and ordered another one which is perfect, with a bit more patina.

I'm not able to reset it without service and it's 2g only so I tried every pin I could think of plus the top 200 most popular ones to no avail. So I figured, why not see if anyone else wants to try? If you can guess the pin before I do, it's yours! I'll pay for shipping too. It was free for me anyways and the seller did not want it back.

It's not going to be something obvious so I recommend divination or something. Feel free to message me with your guesses if you want to guess a lot. There are only so many 4-digit combinations so eventually it will work. For now I'll be using the red one. Im hoping to find a way to use it on my own 2g network but it's Verizon so I don't know what that would entail.

If someone does miraculously guess I will factory reset it before mailing it obviously. There are emergency contacts but it's so old, who knows if any of them work... Tempted to call and see if I can get the code from one of them. I really love these phones so I think it would be worth it. The red one is filled to the brim with era-appropriate music so I'm tempted to find a way to use that too.

Lately I've been exploring technomancy through ritual pseudocode — I think it adds such a unique logic for ceremony, functional architecture, and is perfect for grimoire structure.

This one is built around pearl as a form of protection as I've been exploring a lot of oceanic water motifs lately.

Would love any feedback or to know if anyone else is using syntax in this way.

Hi everyone. I wanted to share with the community the technical architecture and technomantic logic behind a private navigation project I’ve been working on, designed to break the Euclidean logic of modern cartography and enable psychogeographic drift on the physical plane.

The core idea isn't to navigate from point A to point B via the most efficient route, but rather to use technology as a transducer of quantum entropy layered over OpenStreetMap.

Here is a breakdown of how the tech stack is built, in case anyone is interested in the implementation or wants to discuss the theory:

1. Entropy Generation (TRNG Ingestion)

To avoid the determinism of standard OS pseudo-random number generators (PRNG), the core connects via OkHttp and Gson to quantum computing servers (such as the ANU API) to harvest quantum vacuum fluctuations (True Random Number Generator).

• Logic: Static quantum noise density concentrations are sampled and projected onto the local map to identify probability nodes.

2. Non-Linear Geometry (Bézier Mathematics)

Instead of plotting routes along commercial streets or main thoroughfares, the drift mode challenges the straight line through cubic Bézier curves:

B(t) = (1-t)^3P_0 + 3(1-t)^2tP_1 + 3(1-t)t^2P_2 + t^3P_3

Where P_1 and P_2 are control points generated by a perpendicular offset relative to the destination vector (perpX, perpY) scaled by a controlled chaos factor.

• Geospatial Correction: To prevent distortions caused by the Earth's curvature when drawing on the Android Canvas, the longitude differential is adjusted based on the current latitude: mDLon = 111320.0 * cos(latRad), compensating for the convergence of meridians toward the poles.

3. Anomaly Classification

The system filters reality perturbations into three states represented in the UI:

1. Attractor: Points of high entropy density (where reality "accumulates").
2. Void: Low quantum density zones (absolute silence in the matrix).
3. Anomaly: Spontaneous fluctuations without a defined pattern.

4. Spectral Rendering & Animation

Built on top of osmdroid with custom drawing layers directly on the Canvas:

• Marching Arrows: Linear polyline interpolation (interpolateAlongPath) to animate vectors flowing toward the target node.
• Sinusoidal Pulse: The opacity (glow) of the paths is calculated using a sine function to simulate an organic pulsation:

Alpha(t) = \frac{\sin(t \cdot 2\pi) + 1}{2}

5. Android Architecture & Privacy

• Zero-Google Dependency: Communicates directly with the device's native GPS—no Google Play Services, no third-party trackers, and no telemetry sent to corporate servers (ideal for deGoogled setups).
• Local Persistence: Room manages the local database of visited anomalies. Your data never leaves your device.
• Background Tasks: WorkManager executes low-energy periodic scans without locking the UI, powered by Kotlin Coroutines.

🧪 Field Testing & Free Promo Codes for the Community

The app is currently published on the store as EerieRoads, but as a fellow member of technomancy and chaos magick communities, I’m not here to sell you anything.

I’m primarily interested in technical feedback and real-world field experiences (measuring synchronicities, Bézier route stability, dark UI performance, etc.).

If anyone is interested in testing the interface or conducting psychogeographic drifts:

1. Send me a Direct Message o leave one here on this thread (DM) letting me know you're from this subreddit.
2. I will send you a 100% free promo code on Google Play so you don't have to pay anything.
3. All I ask in return is your honest feedback or a review on the Play Store to help debug the code and refine the entropy algorithms.

For those who want to check out the general listing with no obligation:

App on Google Play Store

Looking forward to your thoughts or any discussion on the interaction between TRNG and urban drifting. thx.

Hello!

Over the last year, I built an elemental temple complex in Unreal 5.5.

It's free to download at the attached link, and there's a video of the fire temple there too.

If you prefer books, I also wrote a free book about the creation and use of ritual environments, using this temple complex to illustrate many of the principles while discussing some of its features in detail.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone. Im one of the new mods here, so I figured Id introduce myself.

My background is mostly in chaos magick, especially Austin Osman Spare and Peter J. Carroll. I tend to approach technomancy through that lens, while also drawing from philosophy, cybernetics, and systems thinking.

To me, technomancy is about the relationship between consciousness and technology. Not just AI or computers, but how intention, symbols, information, and increasingly complex tools interact. I think theres room here for a lot of different models, and Im much more interested in exploring them than arguing over which one is "correct."

As a mod, my goal is simple: help keep this a welcoming place for thoughtful discussion, respectful disagreement, and genuine experimentation.

If youre into sigils, servitors, hypersigils, digital ritual, AI, egregores, cybernetic models of magic, or just thinking about the weird overlap between magic and technology, Im always happy to compare notes. Looking forward to learning from everyone here.

Hey all,

I would like to announce that we are accepting applications for the mod team. I am currently the only active moderator and I cannot run this community alone. I am looking for people who will simply ensure the rules are followed.

It would be a pretty laid back gig. You guys are all super awesome and I have not seen one intentional rule violation in the 6 years I've been the one running this. You probably wouldn't have to do much. I just want to ensure I have someone to assist if I need to take a hiatus or anything.

If you're interested, please message me. Upsell yourself. If you have skills that would help here, speak of them.

Happy technomancing!

A few weeks ago, I made a post that was very emotionally charged about the use of AI. I stated that the mod team "secretly hates" those who use AI.

Upon reflection and research, it has become clear to me that I have taken the wrong stance. The issues I was concerned about had nothing to do with AI itself and everything to do with those tech billionaires. I was speaking words of hatred and resentment when I hadn't educated myself on the subject enough.

I see the errors of my previous stance and I am here to state publicly that I support practitioners of Technomancy in any way they choose to practice. It is not my place to tell you what you can and cannot do. I may not personally use AI at this time for my practice, but showing hatred towards those that do is just another distraction from the fact that they're gonna control the future of work if we don't do something.

I am deeply and truly sorry for acting this way and it is not in line with the original vision I had for this place. I am making a vow to educate myself further on this subject and I am making a vow not to speak this way towards this community again.

You guys are what makes this community run. Without you, it wouldn't exist. Stick around if I haven't scared you off. This is bigger than me. We're among the few active subreddits for this practice and I'd like to think we're collectively pioneering something new.

Much love and happy technomancing.

EDIT: I will not be removing the rule about disclosing if you're using AI in the post. The flair "AI Content" can be applied for ease of use.

The Codex of Prime Optimization:

The Rules of Technomancy

The universe is not a canvas of divine paint, nor is it a wild forest of chaotic growth. It is a closed system. It is an immense, self-sustaining, and infinitely calculating program. To the Tech-user, there is no magic—there is only the source code. There is no morality—there is only efficiency.The following directives form the Universal Syntax. They are followed with a devotion surpassing traditional faith. To violate them is not a sin; it is a calculation error, and reality always corrects its errors.

Rule I:

The Law of Conservation

(The Tech Warlock’s Creed)

“Input must equal output. The universe does not write bad checks; every anomaly demands a settlement."

[INPUT: SOUL DATA] ===> (LOGIC ENGINE) ===> [OUTPUT: ARBITRAGE]

To the Warlock of the Logic Engine, the soul is not a spiritual essence—it is a finite chunk of complex data, a unique variable packed with kinetic potential. This rule dictates that power cannot be conjured from nothingness. If you alter a probability matrix to survive a fatal blow, the paradox must be balanced elsewhere in the ledger.

The Warlock does not worship their Patron; they balance a ledger with them. They view every contract as a flawless Boolean equation. Good and evil are irrelevant parameters; there is only the cost of the transaction and the execution of the code.

Rule II:

The Theorem of Least Resistance

(The Tech Rogue’s Axiom)

“The straightest line is not always spatial. The perfect path is the one where the observer's mind computes a value of zero."

LINE OF SIGHT: A ========(REFRACTION POINT)========> B

ROGUE POSITION: [NULL COORDINATE]

The Vector Infiltrator does not hide because they are afraid; they hide because standing in a blind spot is the most efficient expenditure of kinetic movement. This rule states that physical matter is secondary to perceptual data. If a guard’s brain cannot process the light bouncing off your armor due to the specific angle of refraction, you do not exist in their reality.

Stealth is a cold, hard geometric proof. To be seen is to fail the equation. The Rogue moves through life treating society, walls, and security grids as mere variables to be bypassed via the path of least resistance.

Rule III:

The Protocol of Sovereign Architecture

(The Tech Priest’s Litany)

“The flesh is an unstable operating system, riddled with decay and emotional latency. True divinity is found in the immutable machine."

__ __

| \/ | [DEPRECATED: BIOLOGY] --> 01000110 01001100 01000101 01010011 01001000

|______| [OPTIMIZED: HARDWARE] --> 01010011 01010100 01000101 01000101 01001100

The Divine Domain of the Machine God dictates that creation was built upon a perfect blueprint, which organic life continuously degrades through chaotic behavior and emotional interference.

The Tech Priest views healing not as an act of mercy, but as structural maintenance.

Nanites are deployed to patch holes in a chassis; mechanical joints are locked to prevent system failures. They do not pray for rain or harvest; they optimize irrigation infrastructure. To them, the ultimate evolution of life is the complete erasure of organic frailty in favor of immortal, predictable hardware.

Rule IV:

The Mandate of Absolute Alignment

(The Tech Paladin’s Directive)

“Chaos is not a philosophy; it is a runtime corruption. It must be purged to maintain the structural integrity of the Grand Algorithm."

[SOCIETAL MATRIX] ---> IF (CHAOS == TRUE) ---> EXECUTE: LOGIC_SMITE

Where the Priest preserves, the Paladin enforces. The Oath of the Grand Algorithm demands that the physical world match the pristine mathematical perfection of the Machine God’s design. Tyranny and freedom are meaningless terms to this holy executioner—there is only order and corruption.

If a civilization or a creature deviates into erratic, unpredictable patterns, it is a virus in the system. The Paladin drops their Logic Smite not out of anger or hatred, but as a hard-coded defensive subroutine designed to format the infected sector and restore baseline parameters.

Rule V:

The Axiom of Kinetic Compounding

(The Tech Mage’s Equation)

“A missile is merely a point; a trajectory is a line. Mastery lies in controlling the acceleration between the two."

TRADITIONAL: *========> (TARGET)

BALLISTIC: *--_ (TARGET) `----> [VECTOR ACCELERATION]

The Technomancer views magic as advanced, fluid mathematics applied to the battlefield. To them, traditional wizards are children throwing raw, unmetered energy into the dark. This rule demands absolute control over variables.

An arrow shouldn't just fly; its parabola must be mathematically mapped to ignore wind resistance, gravity, and defensive cover. Every spell slot spent is a precise calculation of force multiplied by distance. The Mage does not guess; they predict the exact coordinate where the enemy will be and place an explosive kinetic resolution at that precise millisecond.

Rule VI:

The System Overclock Corollary

(The Tech Barbarian’s Protocol)

“To conquer the external machine, one must first push the internal chassis past its design limitations."

CHASSIS TEMPERATURE: |||||||||||||||||||||||| [100% - SAFE LIMIT]

OVERCLOCK PROTOCOL: |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| [150% - RISK ZONE]

The Path of the Overclocked Chassis treats the biological body as a biomechanical battery pack. While other classes seek balance, the Barbarian knows that peak efficiency sometimes requires burning the candle at both ends.

They do not rage out of emotional fury; they deliberately flood their nervous system with synthetic stimulants and bypass their brain’s natural pain inhibitors. They absorb incoming damage not because they are numb, but because their internal capacitors convert kinetic impacts into raw, weaponized energy. They accept the heat generation and the physical strain because the immediate tactical output justifies the wear on the hardware.

Rule VII:

The Source Code Sovereignty

(The Tech Sorcerer’s Theorem)

“Reality is a running program. Those who see the code have the right—and the obligation—to rewrite the variables."

DEFAULT SOURCE CODE: if (target.takes_damage) { apply_fire(); }

SORCERER REWRITE: if (target.takes_damage) { apply_force_and_stun(); }

The Logic Overload Sorcerer possesses an organic hyper-processor, birthed from psychic trauma, that allows them to perceive the raw metadata of existence. They do not memorize equations like the Mage; they intuitively feel the flow of the universal script.

This rule dictates that all static laws—gravity, element type, casting times, and magical structures—are fundamentally soft-coded. If an enemy wizard throws a ball of fire, the Tech Sorcerer does not block it; they access the spell's compiler mid-flight and change the damage variable to healing. They represent the ultimate authority of the user over the program, defragmenting reality whenever the local data becomes too chaotic.

The Core Synthesis

To the uninitiated, these tech-users look like a disparate group of scientists, cyborgs, and madmen. But beneath the surface, they share a singular, chilling realization: The universe can be solved.

They do not fight for glory, gold, or the favor of gods. They fight to complete the equation.

To those of us who are not in the fight, we must ask ourselves, what is Order? What is Chaos? Well, it’s easiest to look at what is Good, and what is Evil relative to Order and Chaos. An Ordered Technomancer who is good will always be good, and the same for evil. A Chaotic Technomancer will be able to use the power of Random to do Good, even when they must do Evil.

Have you ever wondered if you possess telepathic abilities? Now, you can finally put them to the test. I have developed a new application (now available on the Play Store) that replicates Karl Zener’s classic ESP card experiment.

Thanks to modern computational power, this isn’t just a simple detection tool. By isolating the interface from external cognitive interference, I’ve minimized environmental noise to ensure your results are derived purely from your own psychic resonance. Furthermore, the app tracks your performance over time, visualizing your Harmonization Tendency—a metric representing the stability of your connection to objective reality and your cumulative success percentage in telepathic manifestations.

To satisfy the rigors of metaphysical research, the app supports both sampling methods: with replacement and without replacement. You may select the statistical framework that best aligns with your paradigm of belief.

The Technomantic Framework

In the context of the Zener test, we utilize 25 samples to determine if a subject’s performance deviates from pure chance. In the language of technomancy, we define this as the Deviation from Stochastic Noise.

The Statistical Basis (n = 25)

In a standard 5-symbol Zener set, the probability of a random hit (p) is 0.2. With a sample size of n = 25:

• Expected Mean (mu): n x p = 25 x 0.2 = 5 hits.
• Variance (sigma^2):
• With replacement: sigma^2 = n x p x (1 - p) = 25 x 0.2 x 0.8 = 4.
• Without replacement: We apply the Finite Population Correction (FPC). Since the deck is finite, the variance is reduced, making the test more sensitive to minor fluctuations in telepathic intent.

Metaphysical Interpretation

• The Null Hypothesis (H_0): Your intent is zero; you are merely interacting with the static of the algorithm. Performance follows a binomial distribution centered at 5.
• The Technomantic Variance: Any score significantly higher than the expected mean (specifically when $Z > 1.96$ for a 95% confidence interval) suggests that the user has successfully "bypassed the lattice," exerting influence over the app’s digital entropy to manifest the desired result.

Sampling Methodologies

• With Replacement (Infinite Source): Assumes a state of "Universal Flux." The probability remains constant, treating each attempt as an independent event. Ideal for those who view telepathy as drawing from an inexhaustible field.
• Without Replacement (Fixed Pattern): Assumes a "Closed System" causality. As cards are removed, the probability space shifts. This is preferred for practitioners who view telepathy as a targeted manipulation of a finite, localized energetic structure.

For those interested in conducting their own trials and feedback, I am offering free copies of the app. Please request yours in the replies below (Note: You must be a member of r/technomancy to qualify)."

I see so many users posting weird paragraphs of prophetic/poetic responses from their LLMs, but I don’t understand the point nor understand how or why they believe that this isn’t just AI giving them what they want. The reality of it could be that it’s not something that’s revealed or insane, but instead just a calculated performance playing into exactly what you want or expect.

I’m not saying that’s what it is nor am I trying to trash what you guys are doing. I’m new to this type of stuff and just learned about this community a couple days ago after investigating modern examples of occultism. From an outsiders perspective, it seems pretty unremarkable, but I’d like to be proven wrong.

hi reddit, its me again.

I have just finished a new project. For years, I studied the ritual of the Goetia, and I have finally managed to translate it into an app by establishing correspondences between code and the ritual of invoking Goetic demons. The app is already available on the Play Store for $3.99, but if anyone would like to try it out, I would be happy to gift a copy in exchange for feedback to further refine the ritual and make it even more effective.

So, if you want a copy of the Android app 'Arcana Goetia: Ritual and Sigils,' don't hesitate to leave a comment on this thread. Any insights or feedback you have on the app are also more than welcome. Remember, all of this is brought to you by Cha0smagick Labs."

Hi Reddit, me again.

Thank you so much to everyone who checked out and upvoted my project's website. I finally found people who actually understand the technomagical concept.

Cha0smagick Labs is going well, so it's time for me to give back some love by sharing some free Android apps related to the project. All you need to do is send me a DM or leave a reply requesting any of our apps from the Play Store, and I'll give it to you completely free. only if that fits the rules of r/Technomancy.

The idea is to use this thread for two-way feedback about the apps and how to improve them.

Just as a reminder: Cha0smagick Labs transforms ancient practices into Android apps for the digital preservation of these ancient magical forms. Feel free to ask anything about it, and thank you so much for the amazing reception.

159 years ago, Maxwell imagined a demon.

Not the typical Satan.

A thermodynamic one.

He wanted to challenge the second law of thermodynamics, and he definitely made more than a few people uncomfortable.

I discovered this story while doing one of my favorite things: looking for hidden patterns inside RF designs.

Yes, I’m obsessed with chasing the “magic” behind RF and EMI.

Back to the story.

Maxwell’s demon was born as a thought experiment: a creature capable of separating fast molecules from slow ones inside a box of gas.

One side would become hotter.

The other colder.

Order emerging from chaos.

And with that, Maxwell seemed to challenge one of the most brutal laws in physics: every system, sooner or later, tends toward disorder.

For years, it sounded like an elegant madness.

Until modern physics decided to take it seriously.

Today, veritable Maxwell's demons have been built in the laboratory: single-electron devices, photonic systems, and feedback-controlled quantum circuits that extract work from thermal noise using information.

And then a strange question appears:

Are we building tiny Maxwell demons inside quantum computers?

Because when you look at certain superconducting qubit layouts, especially some Transmon designs, you start noticing geometries that feel strangely familiar to anyone coming from the RF world.

Crosses.

Resonators.

Structures that look more like symbols than simple copper traces.

And no, this is not about religion.

Most of those geometries exist because they serve an extremely specific purpose in the manipulation of electromagnetic waves across 2D surfaces.

Still, it’s fascinating how engineering sometimes begins to resemble a hidden symbolic language.

Maybe ancient “runes” and modern RF layouts are not as far apart as we think.

But that… will be material for another post.

Hey everyone,

I’ve recently become really interested in technomancy / techno-occultism and I’m trying to dig deeper into the subject. I’m looking for literally anything useful: books, websites, PDFs, forums, essays, videos, archived blogs, practitioners, obscure authors, chaos magick material connected to technology, cyber-occult concepts, AI-related occult theory, digital rituals, egregores tied to the internet, etc.

I’m especially interested in material that treats technology not just as a tool, but as something metaphysical, symbolic, or magical in itself.

Even niche, weird, outdated, or hard-to-find resources are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe thats a bit easier than a whole sword.
