Conceptual signal-flow diagrams for the QAG virology research program. These illustrate how the theory maps to an experimental apparatus at a block-diagram level. They are not build instructions.
Schematics are withheld until you explicitly acknowledge the risks. Radio-frequency and ultrasonic energy can cause serious injury — burns, tissue damage, hearing damage — if misapplied. Nothing on this page is a medical treatment.
The theoretical apparatus reduces to four stages: synthesize the predicted disruptive frequency, amplify within safe limits, couple to the sample via transducer, and expose an in-vitro sample. The safety interlock stage is drawn deliberately large — in any real experiment it would dominate the design.
How a prediction becomes an experiment in principle: compute f_kill from structure, sweep a band around it, and assay for structural disruption of the capsid in vitro. The red box is the point: the effect itself is the untested hypothesis.
Any real experiment with energetic fields needs layered interlocks: sealed chamber, power ceilings, operator presence, and a hard emergency stop — all defaulting to OFF. This is drawn to make the safety posture explicit, not to specify hardware.
Final note: These diagrams exist so the reasoning is inspectable, not so the device is buildable. If you are considering building RF/ultrasonic apparatus for biological use: don't. Talk to a qualified lab safety officer and an institutional review board first — and understand that QAG virology currently has zero experimental validation.
