Does anyone know if Dr. Sheldrake has responded to the question is General AI (e.g. ChatGPT) can/have experience Morphic Resonance? Thanks for any information! Also, does Rupert Sheldrake hang out anywhere in chat for Q&A? Does he do/has he done AMA? Thx again.

Thank you both for the excellent direction(s) to proceed. While duplicating a traditional mechanism was my 1st thought, I understand measuring interfere of waves in the right separate is the basis of the spectrometer. It was explained to me (NCSU Advanced Measurements course) that the continuous mirror (causing a continuous circular variation of the interference) was the basis for reverse Fourier transforms conversion from time to frequency domain (spectrum). If a static diffraction grating is used to produce interference wouldn't this only produce interference at one wave separation... does that prevent a continuous spectrum range measurement.

Surprising there wasn't more feedback on this question. Aside from some of the precision parts, the most important component in FTIR is signal analysis done entirely in software. I'm certain some other issues (besides position control, like thermodynamics) are important. For ATR FTIR we used liquid-N2 to cool apparatus which may be a general requirement of FTIR. This question prompts me to investigate further. Perkin-Elmer sells replacement KBr beam splitter for $3950 so I begin to see the problem with purchasing the optics separately.
