particularly high levels of local circadian binding. Usually circadianrhythms must be synched before psychic bonding between subjects canbegin, though there is anecdotal evidence that psychic bonding can takeplace over telepresence if virtual contact is maintained for extendedperiods of time.Psychic bonding usually takes place within a household; thehousehold can be a metaphor for any group living situation, it can be anactual house, a business or partnership, or it can be a loose tribalstructure like a band, team, squad, or similar nomadic crew. Whenbound within the same household, subjects are forced to work together,compromise, and share rigidly induced schedules for eating, relaxing,and sleeping. As subjects coexist they begin to build internalizedconstructs of each other which dictate how they behave and interact;these are cross-expectations fed by mirror neurons analyzingcooperative behaviors. The close familiarity between subjects drives aneural wiring process which embeds the patterns of each bondingpartner into the other’s mind, a process called mutual plasticity.Routine familiarity between subjects drives mutual plasticity.Stress- and Pheromone-Induced NeuroplasticitySmell is the most evocative of human senses because it is wiredtightly into reward and fear responses, and of all the things that enticeand repulse us about other people smell is arguably the strongest.When subjects are living in close proximity they produce hormones,pheromones, and they sweat, and when those pheromones are inhaledthey produce instinctual emotional and neural responses. There is avery complex relationship between hormones, pheromones, behavior,mating, and bonding that permeates the entire plant and animalkingdom; it is a subject that transcends molecular biochemistry andapproaches organic information field theory. Attempting to break downthe non-verbal power of pheromones to induce bonding and neuralgrowth can lead to many interesting digressions, but what is mostgermane to our discussion is that when humans are under stress theyproduce hormones and they sweat, and that hormone-lacedperspiration induces powerful empathetic responses in other humans.
