The proposed Anthropini Energeia Scale is a conceptual framework inspired by the Kardashev Scale, which measures a civilization’s technological progress through its ability to harness energy. However, the AES shifts the focus to the individual, evaluating a person’s capacity to utilize the full spectrum of energy within their body—not just metabolic energy from ATP, but also the energetic charge and potential inherent in cells, the nervous system, and the brain, as well as interactions with environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This expanded scale recognizes that human energy encompasses bioelectricity, ion gradients, and electromagnetic interactions, offering a holistic view of human capability.
The Broader Energetic Foundation
Life itself originates at conception with a remarkable event: a flash of zinc that sparks the first EMF field into being within and surrounding the now fertilized egg. This initial bioelectric signal marks the beginning of cellular organization, guiding replication and differentiation as the embryo grows into a fully formed human. As cells are replicated and differentiated, fields of fields, bioelectric, are generated and maintained for the remainder of a human being’s life. Michael Levin’s research at Tufts University demonstrates that bioelectric fields—generated by ion gradients across cell membranes—act as a kind of "software" for life, directing development, regeneration, and even cognitive processes. These fields are not static; they expand and adapt, orchestrating the body’s complexity from a single cell to hundreds of trillions of cells – fields of fields.
Nick Lane at University College London emphasizes the critical role of energetic charge in cellular function. He highlights how proton gradients across mitochondrial membranes power ATP production, but also notes that these gradients represent a deeper electrical potential that underpins life’s energy dynamics. Meanwhile, Denis Noble at Oxford advocates for an integrative view of biological systems, where energy and information flow seamlessly across cells, tissues, and organs, driven by both metabolic and electrical forces. Identifying that is not genetics which determine function and fitness but the boundary conditions within and across cells. Boundary conditions heavily influenced, if not outright directed, by electromagnetic fields, both those generated within components of the cell, between cells, organs, and between the body and the EMF of the external environment.
Thus, the Anthropini Energeia Scale redefines "available energy" to include:
Metabolic Energy (ATP): Energy derived from nutrients and converted into ATP through cellular respiration.
Bioelectric Energy: The electrical potentials and fields created by ion movements across cell membranes, and the cell membrane charges and potentials essential for cellular communication, nervous system activity, and tissue patterning.
Nervous System and Brain Potential: The dynamic electrical activity of neurons and neural networks, as well as glial cell activation which far exceeds ATP’s biomolecular energy production contribution by enabling bioenergetic thought, perception, and coordination.
Electromagnetic Interactions: The body’s capacity to acquire, respond to, reset with and to interact with EMF fields and charges in the environment, influencing cellular behavior and overall vitality.
The body is not an isolated system—it constantly interacts with its surroundings. It acquires environmental EMFs through exposure to natural sources (e.g., Earth’s magnetic field) and artificial ones (e.g., Wi-Fi, power lines), integrating these charges into its bioelectric framework. This interaction can either enhance or disrupt the body’s energetic coherence, depending on the nature and intensity of the fields.
The Expanded Human Energy Utilization Scale
The Anthropini Energeia Scale now comprises five levels, each reflecting an individual’s ability to harness and optimize this full spectrum of energy—metabolic, bioelectric, neural, and electromagnetic. Progression through the levels signifies greater control, efficiency, and harmony with both internal systems and the external environment. Greater individual human capacity.
Level 0
Minimal energy control
<20% of total energetic potential
- Basic survival, disrupted bioelectric and neural fields, chaotic EMF interactions
Level 1
Basic energy use for daily survival
20-40% of total energetic potential
- Routine tasks, functional but unoptimized bioelectricity, minimal EMF awareness
Level 2
Efficient energy use for moderate demands
40-60% of total energetic potential
- Moderate tasks, stable bioelectric and neural activity, growing EMF sensitivity
Level 3
High utilization for advanced performance
60-80% of total energetic potential
- Intense activities, optimized bioelectric and neural systems, active EMF engagement
Level 4
Near-optimal utilization for peak potential
>80% of total energetic potential (approaching 100%)
- Mastery of all energy systems, coherent bioelectric fields, conscious EMF control
Detailed Breakdown of the Levels
Level 0: Minimal Energy Control
At this foundational level, an individual struggles to harness their energetic potential. Bioelectric fields are disorganized, leading to poor cellular signaling and inefficient neural activity. The nervous system operates at a basic survival level, and interaction with environmental EMFs is chaotic, often exacerbating internal disruption.
Example: A person in severe exhaustion or illness, barely maintaining vital functions, with little capacity to adapt to external fields.
Level 1: Basic Energy Utilization
Here, the individual can manage daily activities, drawing on ATP for physical needs and bioelectricity for basic cellular and neural function. However, energy use remains inefficient, with unoptimized ion gradients and limited brain potential. Environmental EMF interactions are present but largely unconscious and unrefined.
Example: An average person performing routine tasks like walking or working, with occasional fatigue and no deliberate engagement with EMFs.
Level 2: Moderate Energy Efficiency
This level marks improved efficiency in utilizing metabolic, bioelectric, and neural energy. Bioelectric fields stabilize, enhancing cellular communication and nervous system performance. The brain supports sustained focus and coordination, and the individual begins to sense environmental EMFs, adapting to their influence.
Example: A fit individual or focused professional, capable of moderate exercise or intellectual work, with an emerging awareness of how EMFs affect their energy.
Level 3: High Energy Utilization
Individuals at this level excel in demanding tasks, leveraging optimized ATP production, coherent bioelectric fields, and robust neural activity. The nervous system and brain operate at high efficiency, enabling complex problem-solving and physical prowess. Interaction with environmental EMFs becomes active, with the body harnessing beneficial fields and mitigating harmful ones.
Example: An elite athlete or scientist, performing at a high level with strong bioelectric coherence and intentional EMF utilization and adaptation.
Level 4: Near-Optimal Energy Utilization
At the pinnacle, individuals approach 100% utilization of their energetic potential. They master metabolic energy, maintain perfectly coherent bioelectric fields, and unlock the full capacity of the nervous system and brain for extraordinary physical, mental, or creative feats. Conscious control over environmental EMF interactions allows them to enhance their bioelectric systems, influencing and enhancing their own fields or even external charges.
Example: A record-breaking Olympian, a visionary thinker in a state of flow, or a healer manipulating bioelectricity—all harmonizing internal energy with environmental EMFs.
Conceptualizing and Quantifying Energy
To measure progress on the Anthropini Energeia Scale, we must conceptualize the body’s total energetic potential as a composite of multiple dimensions:
Metabolic Energy (E_metabolic): Quantified as the energy available beyond basal metabolic needs (e.g., total daily energy expenditure minus BMR).
Bioelectric Energy (E_bioelectric): Reflected in the coherence of bioelectric fields, the efficiency of ion gradients, and the stability of cellular membrane potentials.
Neural Energy (E_neural): The electrical activity of the nervous system and brain, measured by the speed, complexity, and synchronization of neural signaling.
EMF Interaction (E_EMF): The body’s capacity to acquire and respond to environmental fields, assessed by sensitivity to specific frequencies or resonance with natural charges.
The total energetic potential could be expressed as:
ETotal = EMetabolic + EBioelectic + ENeural + EEMF
Each level of the AES represents a percentage of this total energy that an individual can effectively harness and direct.
Implications of the Expanded AES
Human Potential: Advancing through the levels requires training not just the body and mind, but also the bioelectric and neural systems. Practices like meditation, biofeedback, or exposure to natural EMFs (e.g., grounding) enhance coherence and efficiency.
Health and Resilience: Higher levels correlate with improved cellular repair, neural plasticity, and resistance to disease, as coherent bioelectric fields and optimized EMF interactions support vitality.
Environmental Harmony: The body’s ability to acquire and integrate environmental EMFs highlights its role as an open system. At Level 4, individuals consciously amplify beneficial fields (e.g., Earth’s Schumann resonances) or shield against disruptive ones (e.g., high-frequency radiation).
Beyond Biology: The capacity to manipulate EMFs consciously—speculative at this stage—could open new frontiers in human capability, from enhanced cognition to influencing external systems.
Relation to the Kardashev Scale
While the Kardashev Scale tracks a civilization’s mastery of external energy (planetary, stellar, galactic), the AES measures an individual’s mastery of internal and environmental energy. Both frameworks view energy utilization as a hallmark of advancement, but the AES grounds this progression in the biological and electromagnetic essence of the human being, from the zinc field spark at conception to the dynamic field of fields of a fully realized life.
Conclusion
The rewritten Anthropini Energeia Scale redefines human capacity by embracing the energetic charge and potential of cells, the nervous system, and the brain, far surpassing the scope of ATP alone. Drawing on Michael Levin’s bioelectric insights, Nick Lane’s focus on cellular energy, Denis Noble’s integrative biology, Peter Demitry’s 3rd Generation Medicine efforts and practice and Todd Ovokaitys innovations and practice in high-energy medicine–Medicine 3.0–this scale recognizes life’s origin. From a zinc-sparked EMF field that grows with us from one tiny yet profound bioelectrical field into hundreds of trillions of micro-bioelectric fields all pulsing and working in concert. By incorporating the body’s interaction with environmental EMFs, the AES offers a comprehensive framework for understanding and unlocking our fullest potential—bridging science, biology, and the aspiration to thrive in harmony with the world around us.
So this would explain the deleterious effects of isolation and social shunning on the human body as a weapon? I mean, amongst other things. I had a friend who said he could see aura's. I wrote it off as him being raised by retarded Hippie parents.
