Open AI Summary

Summary:

This document, part of the CIA's Stargate program, outlines the protocol for a Joint Communications (JC) series consisting of four targets. The targets will be selected by someone referred to as "CW" and a specific focus will be established for each target. Viewers will initiate their response at a designated time each day, with at least two sessions per target. The sessions will be summarized promptly, with evening work documented by the next morning. The evaluation of the series will be based on a blind ranking procedure and will focus on refining data useful for locating lost persons or hostages. "CW" will serve as a simulated hostage for the purpose of this series.

 PROTOCOL
 JOINT COMMUNICATIONS SERIES
 This Joint Communications  (JC)  series will be series of four
 (targets)  with feedback provided after all four projects are
 completed.
 The targets will be selected by "CW".   At 1000 hours each
 day "CW" will focus on one target element as well as any key
 dynamic/feeling/sensation/sound/color associated with or implied
 by the target content.   This "sender" information will be
 recorded as part of the target material.
 The sender will hold target focus for at least 30-45 minutes
 initially at a specific time during the day.
 Viewers will initiate their response at 1000 hours,  or at
 any other time throughout the day.   At least two sessions are
 desired per target  (the latter session for refinement and for
 developing target spatial relationship or dynamic/feeling aspects
 in more detail).   Viewers also have the option of working on the
 target during the evening.
 All sessions will be summarized as soon as completed.   In
 the case of evening work,  this material will be documented by
 0900 hours the following day.
 Evaluation of this series will be accomplished on a case-by-
 case basis based on a 0-5 scale comparison,  and on a blind
 ranking procedure.   The four targets will be arranged in random
 order and forwarded to us after all session data is completed for
 the last target.   This will facilitate the blind ranking
 procedure.   Ground truth will be obtained only after the judging
 is completed.
 Remember, our basic interest in this communication series is
 to refine data useful for narrowing down lost persons or hostage
 location tasks.   In essence,  "CW" will serve as a simulated
 hostage who is being moved around.   Thig type of target is of key
 interest to a potential tasking agency
