    development time for exposure periods of 4 hours to one life-cycle as follows: the respec-tive device was placed in the center of a Faraday cage and vials were transferred to theFaraday cage and placed around the perimeter. The device was turned off and removed atthe end of a specific time period and larval development proceeded. At the same time,vials were transferred to a Faraday cage without a device (F) and to a tray placed on thebench (C). A single replicate involved 30 larvae (0-4h old) transferred to a vial containingnon-stressful food. Vials were monitored daily and surviving adults were collected. Larvaldevelopment time is given as T1/2, the time taken for half of the surviving adults toemerge. The device was approximately 15 cm from the vials on average, where the outputpower of the devices in their specific frequency ranges is expected to be less than 1microwatt. There was a minimum of 15 replicates (vials) per treatment.The energy assay followed Kohane (1994) and primarily assessed in vivo and in vitroeffects on electron transport chain activity. We measured the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio in thepresence of (1) supplemental dH20, which does not alter the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio in thesehomogenates and (2) supplemental 0.01M NAD, which increases the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio asa consequence of altered electron transport chain activity.We assessed treatment, larval development time and the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio at the sametime by establishing experimental cultures for energy assays concurrently with our finalexperiment. ATP, ADP, and AMP were extracted using 4.2 M formic acid and 4.2 Mammonium hydroxide (Kohane, 1994). They were quantified using an automated IscoHigh Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) apparatus; a Vydac Column(302IC4.6) and a preprogrammed gradient from 0.025 M sodium phosphate monobasic,pH 2.8 to 0.5 M sodium phosphate monobasic, pH 2.8 (modified from Kohane, 1994).There were 8 replicates per treatment for both supplemental NAD and dH20.

    A. Water S tudiesFor the Evian water, Ca/Mg carbonate crystal formation occurred in this water duringthe experiments and somewhat obscured the main purpose of the study. However, a sig-nificant result was that the more pronounced pH decreases occurred in the solutions ex-posed to the IIED's with a pH-lowefing intention. With the unimprinted devices, very littlepH change was noted. In these experiments, a near balance existed between pH loweringassociated with the solid carbonate precipitation and the pH-increase caused by the re-moval of excess CO2 to the atmosphere. Simply opening or closing the container producedshifts in the pH via growth or dissolution of the crystals. Our results indicated that, if theinitial pH did not exceed 8.5 and some contact with the atmosphere was maintained, littleor no carbonate was precipitated. These initial experiments showed that pH differencesbetween imprinted device-exposed solutions and controls were less than or the order of0.15 pH units.With the pH-stable 50/50 solution of Castle Rock water and type I purified water, nocarbonate precipitation occurred and very robust differences between the unimprinted and

    imprinted device effects were noted. In one experiment, exposure of previously unexposed"control" solution to an unimprin ted device with simultaneous pH measurement showedthat, after an initiai pH decrease below the equilibrium range, the pH increased in anirregular fashion on succeeding days. Figure 2 shows results of these measurements on 4days following unimprinted device exposure (upper graph). On the other hand, the same

Measurements in upper figurewere made on a solution that had been exposed to the unimprinted3-oscillator device (circles). Measurementsrepresented in lower figure were made on a solution that had been exposed to the imprinted3-oscillator device.Note monotonically increasing pH behavior vs. more irregular behavior for the unimprinted case.

    Fro. 3a. pH vs. time for 50/50 dilution of Castle Rock Water with purified H20. Measurement of pH wasdone simultaneouslywith exposure to tmimprinted 1-oscillator device. The imprinted device-exposedsolutionshows the greatest pH decline, eventually declining below 7.50. Th is solution was exposed to the imprinteddevice for five days in a closed container. The pH m easurementwas begun immediately after exposure. Notethat the initial pH starts in the equilibrium range and only begins to decline after the pH electrode is placed insolution.

    state) and the environment might allow information transfer. This, in turn, would tend toreduce AA which would, in turn, reduce the intention "charge" in the subtle domain. Inany event, although not perfect, this procedure has allowed the intention "charge" to bestored in the devices for -3 months and has greatly diminished the apparent communica-tion between the two devices.Returning to the question posed by the title of this paper, the devices exhibit a form ofintelligence and follow the prime directive indicated by the specific intention. Moreover,they appear free to select from among the possible process paths to fulfill this primedirective. Whether or not they are also free to deny the prime directive is not yet apparentin our experimental results. Without a clear definition of consciousness, it will not bepossible to make a final judgement on this issue; however, at our present level of under-standing, it is probably reasonable to conclude that an IIED does manifest some aspects ofconsciousness !
