For our first Substack post we figured we would start with a basic outline of what we consider to be the most important issue facing our world today: The Biodigital Convergence. This is the merging of digital technologies and biological systems. This convergence, put forth by our governments and a multi-trillion-dollar emerging technologies industry over decades will have profound and disruptive impacts on society, the economy, and humanity. We cover the historical timeline of emerging technologies driving this convergence, the key players and organizations involved, as well as specific examples of biodigital technologies and their applications. And as always, we provide all the source documentation at the end so that you can access many of these opensource documents and read it for yourself.
Thanks for reading our substack! -Hope and Tivon www.FTWProject.com

Biodigital Convergence: The Rapid Fusion of Biology and Technology and What It Means for Us All
Digital tools are no longer confined to screens and silicon chips. They are seeping into living tissues, farm fields, hospital wards, financial systems and even the air we breathe. This sweeping, cross-disciplinary trend is known as biodigital convergence, and it is quietly restructuring economies, governments and individual lives at a speed few people recognize.
This article is a concise, plain-language look at how biodigital convergence is unfolding, which players are driving it, where the technology is being deployed, why critics call it a “control grid,” and how citizens can respond.

Defining Biodigital Convergence
Biodigital convergence is the progressive blending of digital systems with biological organisms and processes. Imagine:
- DNA edited with AI-guided precision.
- Wearable sensors sending real-time health metrics to cloud platforms.
- Lab-grown meat printed in your kitchen.
- Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) linked to biometric IDs.
When these developments mesh, they create a vast, data-driven ecosystem capable of monitoring, predicting and even altering biological life—human life included. Advocates tout transformative medical breakthroughs and climate-friendly agriculture. Skeptics warn that this same network can be weaponized for unprecedented surveillance and behavioral control.
The Technologies Powering Biodigital Convergence
Biodigital convergence is not one gadget; it is a constellation of innovations that overlap and reinforce each other:
All of these sectors share a single aim: weaving biological data into digital networks so that living systems can be measured, managed and manipulated with software-like precision.
A Brief Timeline of Biodigital Convergence
Biodigital convergence might feel new, but its roots go back decades:
- 1950s – 1960s: First biosensors appear; ARPANET proves large-scale networking.
- 1980s – 1990s: Human Genome Project launches; early mobile networks spread.
- 2000s: Cloud computing, smartphones and social media create mass data flows.
- 2010s: CRISPR becomes routine; wearable tech and IoT accelerate.
- 2017: Industry pushes the “cyber-physical backbone” for a full Fourth Industrial Revolution.
- 2020s: mRNA vaccines, digital health passports, and AI labs hit mainstream news, showcasing biodigital convergence in real time.
The key insight? Each era layers new capabilities onto existing infrastructure, expanding the reach of biodigital convergence every few years.
The Cyber-Physical Backbone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Engineers describe the modern network as a cyber-physical system (CPS)—a mesh of sensors, servers, algorithms and actuators spread through smart cities, hospitals, farms and homes. This CPS backbone relies on:
- High-bandwidth links (fiber, 5G, upcoming 6G, low-orbit satellites)
- Edge and cloud data centers for AI analysis and digital-twin modeling
- Standardized protocols so devices—from pacemakers to traffic lights—follow identical rules everywhere on Earth
Once the backbone is laid, biodigital convergence can scale quickly, because every device “speaks” the same language.
Real-World Examples of the Biodigital Control Grid
The theory is no longer theoretical. Below are tangible elements of the emerging biodigital control grid:
- Mass Data Harvesting
- Free generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Grok) log user queries to train bigger models.
- Smart wearables collect heart rate, sleep patterns and geolocation.
- Programmable Medicine
- Personalized phage therapies target drug-resistant bacteria.
- Eye implants translate optical signals into electrical impulses, restoring partial vision.
- Food & Environment
- 3D-printed meat and bean-free “molecular coffee” promise sustainability—while concentrating ownership of food IP in a few firms.
- Vertical farms embed sensors and robots to optimize yields with minimal labor.
- Smart Cities & 15-Minute Districts
- AI traffic cameras, energy meters and digital IDs enforce zoning and carbon budgets.
- Financial & Social Governance
- Pilot CBDCs can limit spending to approved products or regions.
- Social credit algorithms fuse purchase history, health status and online speech.
These layers together creates a single point of control: the biodigital convergence network itself.
Who Writes the Rules? Standards Bodies and National Initiatives
1. Global Standards
- ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) draft technical frameworks for biodigital convergence devices to interoperate worldwide.
- Task forces like JTC 1/SC 41 focus on the Internet of Things and digital-twin healthcare.
2. National Programs
- Policy Horizons Canada publishes foresight reports to guide federal strategy on biodigital convergence.
- Israel Innovation Authority positions Israel as a global bioconvergence hub, funding start-ups that blend biology with AI, nano-engineering and robotics.
- Similar initiatives are rolling out in the EU, United States, China, Singapore and the Gulf States.
When standards and national investments align, deployment can happen rapidly, often outpacing existing laws or ethical debates.
Opportunities vs. Risks
The same biodigital convergence that promises longer life and a cleaner planet could, if abused, curtail autonomy and concentrate power into fewer hands.
Practical Steps to Guard Your Health and Privacy
- Reduce Unnecessary Data Streams
- Disable always-on microphones or cameras on devices you rarely use.
- Opt out of health-app data sharing when possible.
- Strengthen Your Personal Bio-Shield
- Limit exposure to excessive EMF by turning off Wi-Fi at night or using shielded cases.
- Explore natural ionizing materials (orgonite and similar) that may scatter frequencies; combine with holistic habits such as exercise, detox and balanced nutrition.
- Diversify Financial Tools
- Keep some assets outside digital-only platforms—precious metals, local co-op credits, or cash—for redundancy if CBDCs enforce spending rules.
- Stay Informed
- Read primary papers from ISO, IEC, IEEE and national tech agencies.
- Follow independent analysts alongside mainstream outlets to spot bias.
- Engage Politically & Legally
- Push for data-privacy legislation and transparent AI standards.
- Support open-source research that keeps breakthroughs accessible, not monopolized.
Final Thoughts
Whether you see it as a medical renaissance or a digital panopticon, biodigital convergence is reshaping our world. The merger of bits and biology is accelerating, propelled by global standards bodies, trillion-dollar industries and a web of sensors that reaches from your bloodstream to Earth-orbit satellites.
The crucial question is not if biodigital convergence will continue—clearly, it will—but how societies will guide it. Thoughtful engagement, robust safeguards and open dialogue are essential if we hope to capture the benefits while curbing the dystopian potential of this fast-forming control grid.
Stay curious, stay critical, and stay human.
How Our Products Help to Protect You From Biodigital Emerging Technologies
Most of the emerging technologies used in the biodigital convergence use frequencies such as EMF, light, sound and also pressure to work. These technologies can affect our health and are also used to track and trace biological systems such as plants animals and your human body.
In most of the documentation coming from the emerging tech industry they list the weaknesses of their technology, the two most common being energy and connectivity. If their frequencies can’t strongly connect to your body, their tech doesn’t work as well.
Orgone energy is a natural technology that does not block the frequencies, but rather filters and scatters them away from your body and your environment… so that they can’t get a strong connection. It also acts as a passive negative ionizer that treats your body’s natural energetic biofield, has a grounding effect that changes your cells zeta potential which strengthens our immune system and helps your cells to detox.
For the best way to protect yourself from these emerging technologies we suggest using orgone energy products in addition to a holistic approach such as diet and exercise changes, heavy metal detox, and making different personal lifestyle choices.
Our company Fix the World Morocco is a family run business that has been making orgone energy devices by hand since 2017. On our website we list the Scientific Studies and documentation describing how our products are made, how they work and how you can measure them. You can also read testimonies from many of our 30,000 customers around the world. www.ftwproject.com
