Silicon as plant nutrition, silicon as a semiconductor

The history of BioAksxter® magnetic formulations is long, deep, and complex. And like a crystal, it has a thousand facets. That is why I approach the subject from different angles, and this time I’ll start with silicon.

If Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier is considered the founder of modern chemistry for having realized that all substances are different combinations of a few elements, we can consider Alessandro Mendini the founder of liquid subatomic bioelectronics. Of course, Mendini is a million things, and perhaps one day I will write his story, but today I want to focus on this aspect, starting precisely with silicon and its crystalline structure. Silicon as plant nutrition, silicon as a conductor.

Silicon as matter, silicon as energy, the two sides of the same coin

The fundamental role of silicon in the conversion and management of energy has long been recognised. Thanks to silicon, it is possible to transform sunlight into heat (solar panels), convert sunlight into electrical energy (photovoltaic panels), or create transistors and other miniaturised components (microchips, microLEDs, sensors, etc.) capable of processing information and powering electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers, as well as managing machines and processes automatically (industrial automation, mechatronics, robotics). 

Although technology has made enormous progress, the ability to govern energy flows is still not a property of human power, whereas it belongs to nature. This is what occurs within an ecosystem, for example, or within a plant in the management of solar radiation (the acceleration or deceleration of photosynthesis), or even within our planet, which, while feeding on energy flows, simultaneously transmits them to living systems. If scholarship has moved from Heraclitus’ “everything flows” (panta rhei) to Lavoisier’s “everything is transformed”, it is worth hastening toward Mendini’s dynamics of magnetic flows, because 2,500 years have passed and… “everything can vanish.” Not merely a sensation, but a tangible event.

By leading us into the subatomic dimension, Alessandro Mendini, philosophically speaking, condemns us to impermanence while freeing us from death, a passage that carries humanity accustomed to measuring itself against materialism. One of the statements that struck me most was precisely his remark: “at four light-years, matter disappears…”.

The thousand faces of silicon

Silicon can be found in the form of an element, a substance, a compound, matter and a material. Silicon therefore has many faces. The crystalline structure of silicon characterizes conductors and semiconductors and is used in the management of energy flows, but it can also serve, as Mendini teaches, in the construction of magnetic flows for the programs of matter. In fact, silicon occurs in nature as a mineral component of silica and silicates, but it is also found in plants, cereals and fruit, and in organic form in bones, cartilage and tissues (collagen, elastin). 

Silicon is everywhere and throughout the whole body of human knowledge. We find it in the glossy black of obsidian, in the iridescent colours of opal, in the transparency of glass derived from sand, in the movement of quartz watches, in the spark of stove lighters, and in countless other functions. From the development of the digital world to that of artificial intelligence, silicon appears again in its design potential, increasingly narrowing the boundary between matter and energy and, beyond that, enabling access to dimensional realms where vital programs are created. This is the case of Alessandro Mendini and his computerised hydro-compressed magnetic charges. A frontier science for which plants ask no explanation.

Silicon as plant nutrition

The “computerised hydro-compressed magnetic charges”, in addition to identifying the advanced technology applied in the production of BioAksxter® depolluting organic fertilizers, open a discussion regarding plant nutrition. It is important to distinguish, once again, between the input of substances and the input of energy. This is a necessary perspective for agriculture, which, despite the passing of decades, has proven incapable of evaluating and adopting it, if only to prevent the collapse of agricultural soils. Encouraging the accumulation of substances in soils and compromising their biological balance is very different from plant nutrition. This also applies in the case of silicon. 

What farmers and experts overlook:

• Plants do not need chemically processed or synthetic substances (created in laboratories), but energy with which to programme their growth and development, obtaining the natural substances they require through natural biochemical processes (see photosynthesis: sun → sugars, starches, etc.).
• Natural silicon is not the same as synthetic silicon. The transformation of mineral (inorganic) silicon into organic silicon is a prerogative of nature (carried out by bacteria and plants).
• Making silicon bioavailable/biologically available/biologically active/assimilable in plant nutrition means subjecting it to chemical processes.
• In order to feed, plants must mineralize every substance, that is, transform organic substances into inorganic ones. Therefore, to absorb silicon in the only directly assimilable form (monosilicic or orthosilicic acid, Si(OH)₄, i.e. H₄SiO₄), as with any other organic substance, the plant consumes energy that it draws from its own reserves and from other vital processes. This certainly does not promote resistance to stress or other commercially claimed attributes.
• Plant nutrition based on substances obtained through unnatural processes, aimed at increasing yields, comes at the expense of the quality of agricultural products and leads to the deterioration of soil quality, where untransformed or toxic substances accumulate.
• Energy + Program is the formula through which plants process and absorb the substances they require as essential elements or structural components, for example silicon in the stems of grasses. This is why, with BioAksxter®, lodging phenomena are resolved. In addition to the increase in resistance to abiotic stress, through the same formula the active role of BioAksxter® is also observed in the increased resistance to pathogens. The natural programming of vital processes is an index still unknown to agronomic science, which continues to struggle with the different mechanisms involved in plant species.

Silicon as a semiconductor

Here is silicon, observed through the microscopy of magnetic charges in the form of polymorphic crystalline structures that appear and then disappear, in a kind of dance between matter and energy. A continuous transformation, an expression of life.

The dynamic between the invisible and the visible is what I have pursued most throughout all the years of my artistic activity, and what I later encountered again through the evolution of Mendini’s research. Recently, in the laboratory I was examining under the microscope a slide of the magnetic charges that characterise BioAksxter®, observing the formation of crystalline structures. I have often described BioAksxter® magnetic formulations as “energy in liquid form” and their ability to make available to the plant quantities of energy useful for vital processes equal to 7.6 gigawatts/mm³. Dimensions that generate dimensions. These crystalline structures are differentiated according to the programmes; among them, particularly fascinating are the “memorini”, small crystals that preserve memory from the original primary matter, or primordial matter (I discussed this in the article “Recovery: the plant healing process”).

That day, while observing the growth of the crystalline structures, I paused on the geometry of a structure within a small crystal. I recalled the words of the researcher Mendini: “Silicon can bind with all minerals; it is also the basis of energy and the best transmissive conductor. More than 100,000° are required to extract its essence… the finest diamonds do not reach such conditions.”
As those words resonated within me, the question first arose: “What did he mean by transmissive conductor?” and I immediately found the answer: “conductor stands for the medium that allows the propagation of the signal within the terrestrial (planetary) band, certainly not a copper cable or an optical fibre”… and everything accelerated in my mind. In two seconds, I moved from Father Ernetti’s chronovisor (the database of the Universe) to silicon wafers.

Image on the right: Silicon wafer, discs of semiconductor material used in microelectronics to manufacture integrated circuits (e.g. artificial intelligence chips). They are used across all sectors, from televisions to computers, from smartphones to automobiles.

A wafer is the substrate formed from a highly purified silicon compound, in which atoms are orderly arranged in a single-crystal lattice. It is obtained through a technique that melts the material at extremely high temperatures, and it is an artificial material that is very expensive to produce.

What do this natural silicon crystal (left) and the silicon wafer (the base for the electronic microcircuit on the right) have in common? In both cases, the flow of energy and the related capacity for memory, properties of the mineral, are used both in electronic processes and in the vital processes of plants and soil. In this regard Mendini states: “the plant is bioelectronic.”
I would add that the basis of life traditionally attributed to carbon because of the stability of molecular chains that allow biochemical transformations, should now be restored to silicon, not because it is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, but because it is precisely in silicon that all programs originate.

Beyond any possible hierarchical attribution, such as the primary role assigned to carbon in the formation of the constituent elements of life, and as Mendini teaches us, it is time for Science to recognise that the origin of life should be attributed to “Energy + Program.”

Therefore, also with regard to plant life and specifically the bioenergetic program of photosynthesis, the principle of life lies precisely in “Energy + Program.” In this sense, silicon has a primary function, not chlorophyll. 

The crystalline structure of silicon

The transformation of energy into organic matter is carried out by crystalline (inorganic) structures. It occurs through an atomic–nuclear transmutation that involves the use of enormous amounts of energy, and silicon is its primary element. Silicon is the “cosmic Adam” of life: the one that, from the cosmic breath, gave rise to inorganic matter, and from whose “rib” — that is, the inorganic — organic matter was generated (Eve, understood as the mother of the living). 
From a scientific perspective, I recall the study of the researcher Alessandro Mendini, who as early as 1983, in the laboratory, reconstructed “the first plant”, precisely deriving it from siliceous minerals dissolved through a high-potential magnetic flow. And the first sound was a “Siiiiiii”, Si as the symbol of the chemical element silicon, Si as the root of the term meaning “hard stone”.

From stone, the expressed memory that the Earth preserves, crystalline structures transform into fertile soil… thus BioAksxter®. This is how Nature operates, this is what Nature teaches.

From stones placed on the ground as calculating lines of the abacus, to the stone blocks of Stonehenge, to galena used for radio reception, to the mineral components of thermionic valves, to the silicon of transistors and up to the legendary Silicon Valley, have not humans and their resonant circuits always drawn their voice from Nature?
And now, does artificial intelligence, closed in on itself, ever faster yet unable to move beyond its own limits, not reflect the contemporary human crisis, increasingly confined to the coarse energy of money and ever more distant from its source?

And yet, silicon itself, such as a quartz crystal, can help us understand that life should not be confined to Earth. It can help us understand that it is necessary to recognise the nature of energy and, like the crystal, to learn how to select it. And thus, as the Mendini experiment demonstrated, the exhaustion of energy leads to the end of the program.

Silicon from space

It was C. Louis Kervran, in the 1930s, through his studies on low-intensity biological transmutations (weak energy, or the weak nuclear force acting on elementary particles and responsible for natural radioactivity), who hypothesised that life on Earth had been brought from space through active silica, rather than through cosmic dust (panspermia).

Labelled a “pseudoscientist”, his theories were rejected and set aside, only for some, too late, to recognise in him a precursor of nuclear biophysics.

However, this would certainly not be the first or the only case in which a discovery has failed to receive proper consideration and recognition. History teaches us, and within that history one of the most remarkable figures is the researcher Alessandro Mendini. His “discovery of energy” spans all levels of knowledge and reaches back to the very origin of matter, which is certainly not limited to 13.77 billion years.

Yet our focus should not be on searching for primordial forces or substances from which everything originates. We are now called to pay a profound price for not having done what Nature required of us. For this very reason, Mendini did not merely write theories, he did something concrete for our lives.

I conclude with this further reflection of mine: “The 20th century brought new minds in many fields to help us interpret life; the 21st century calls for a new science to preserve it. From science to conscience, this is the step required for evolution.”
