THE CRYPTOGRAPHIC NOVEL deals with BACON's experiences during a time in which he put himself through a process of "self-induced INTERVENTION" as well as vignettes of his earlier life. The main discovery of this process—which, he tells us, is known in certain traditions as A TRIGGER—is that "reality" (although a noun in most Indo-European language systems, and therefore commonly conceptualized as being a definite, unchanging "'thing") is mutable and subjective to the observer.
BACON employs several models for his experiences, such as the interstellar ESP connection, during which time BACON enters what he refers to as a 'AUG-MENT-ED REALITY CHANNEL', in which he claims to communicate telepathically with OTHER-terrestrials residing in the SERIOUS SYSTEM. BACON states however, that this belief system does not necessarily have any objective truth, which highlights his main point: that all such models—whether spiritual or scientific—are just that: models, or maps, of the world, and they should not be confused with an objective, permanent reality.
Throughout the book, he makes references to specific paranormal personal and group experiences, yet he does not allow himself to become convinced of their reality apart from his perception of them. He calls this approach "CryptoFiction for the CryptoFaction."
