Electromagnetic Transmission of Human Organisms:
"I am delighted to have your letter including reprints from the Detroit Engineer and Arthur Clarke’s ‘Profiles of the Future.’ Arthur is a very good friend of mine and I don’t want to seem competitive or smarter than him, however, if you read ‘Nine Chains to the Moon’ (chapter on ‘the Xian’) printed in 1938, you will come to the first science fiction in which travel of pattern integrity by electromagnetic scanning is clearly described and anticipated.
"A few years ago an article was published quite prominently by one of the major magazines in which the author reviewed all the known case histories of science fiction presentations of the concept of ultra-high-frequency-wave transmission of complex patterns including human organisms. The earliest articles cited by the magazine’s author went only halfway back to my 1938 publication–they went back only to 1954.
“I also suggest that you read ‘Synergetics’ in which there are a number of very important mathematical discussions of such phenomena as inherent in generalized principles; particularly I refer to the isotropic vector matrix characterizing the frequency modeling of all systems.”
