DIARY TEXT:
Session 405.
Friday 6 March 1998.
Immediately after Emily's chat, we all heard a series of squeaks (rather like a rubber duck or a dog's toy) coming from the amplifier attached to the TDC. Sandra initially thought that these noises might have come from a chair, but Emily cut in to say she shouldn't make such assumptions and should listen carefully. The squeaks were then repeated several times.
The new communicator previously mentioned by Edwin then started to address us through the amplifier of the TDC/germanium device. The words were clear and concise as he spoke, but he explained that what we were hearing was not his actual voice. He clarified this by telling us that he was from another dimension where words and language were not needed. He was therefore using a thought-translation system to speak to us in English. Where he came from (as he explained), he had no name; but he said that, for identification purposes, we might call him what sounded to us like "Shar-en-ess" [see Communicator "Sharness"].
Our new friend told us that, in reality, his own dimension was not too far distant from our own; although it was definitely a non-physical dimension - somewhat similar to those dimensions we encounter in our dreams whilst in a sleep state. "Shar-en-ess" [Sharness] had no physical form, although both male and female beings existed in his environment. Their life-form owned no lands and no possessions. There were no wars - as it was a dimension of nothingness", and there was nothing to fight over. The distinction between male and female beings was simply to create balance.
Our new friend - "Sharn" for short - told us that he hoped to become a regular communicator at Scole and that he would try to answer some of our questions about both his (and other) interdimensional existences. In answer to Sandra's question, he stated that, if he or others from his dimension chose (or wished) to be born into a physical existence, it would not be possible for this to happen.

ARCHIVAL NOTES:
This is the primary record of the first communication from Sharness, an NHI Communicator also referred to as both "Sharn" and "Shar-en-ess" in various contexts. Having carefully listened to and transcribed the relevant recordings, we have chosen "Sharness" as the archive name by which to identify this Communicator. During session 409, Sharness told the Scole Group that "he" was a "Darti" (he rolled the "r") and that, in his earlier days, he had been taught by "Darti Masters". Researchers might wish to distinguish between the "Stellar Friends" who appeared visually on video and sometimes physically in the experimental room and personalities like Sharness who said he was not contained in a physical body and communicated primarily through technical instrumentation rather than a human instrument (or "medium").
Session 405 marks a pivotal transition in the Scole Experiment's research trajectory, shifting from traditional survival evidence to interdimensional liaison. The introduction of Sharness represents the first sustained verbal interaction with a non-human, non-physical intelligence via mechanical means rather than biological mediumship. Sharness's description of his home as a "world of images" and "nothingness" provides a theoretical framework for the "New Work" which increasingly relied on the "Alice" optical feedback system and the trans dimensional communication (TDC) device to bridge different time-streams and vibrational densities.
The technical operation of the Scole-Edison TDC device during this session was highly specific. Unlike earlier (Type 3) "Energy Voice" manifestations, the sounds produced by Sharness were processed through an electronic circuit utilising a germanium crystal under screw-pressure with two coils. This configuration may have acted as a "cat's whisker" style receiver for interdimensional thought-pulses, which were then translated into the auditory range via the battery-powered amplifier (a 1990s-type tape player-recorder with the microphone removed to ensure it was not picking up ambient sounds in the room or radio signals). The screw was used for an equivalent of "tuning-in". The "squeaking" noises described by the sitters are possible indicators of the device achieving a frequency-lock prior to the initiation of the thought-translation stream.

REVISION HISTORY:
v1.2 - 08/04/2026 - Reassigned Sharness to "NHI" to distinguish from deceased human intelligences (DHI). Restored primary archival note regarding the first communication.
v1.1 - 08/04/2026 - Updated Archival Notes with "Darti" information and corrected distinction between communicators. Modified technical commentary to reflect an independent stance.
v1.0 - 08/04/2026 - Initial creation in SANS Plaintext following agreed archival rules.
