Where mainstream tech ends, experimentation begins. Our Hangar gives ground for alternative interfaces, analog tools, and post-digital design, this is where a new kind of innovation is shaped by the brightest minds. From paper-based thinking to absolute sensorless interaction, we explore the edges of innovation, without defaulting to screens, apps, or automation. A future built by hand and code.

The Forgotten Lineage of Orthodox Computation
While digging through archives at the abandoned Soviet research facility near Zagorsk last month, our team discovered a cache of documents linking three Orthodox thinkers whose work forms a hidden current in computational history. Seraphim Rose, Alexander Men, and Pavel Florensky developed approaches to information processing that still can work outside the binary frameworks that dominate contemporary technology.
These figures aren't typically associated with computation.
Standard histories position them as religious conservatives reacting against modernity.
Zagorsk documents. though, show something peculiar.
They were developing sophisticated analog methods for processing complex information that digital systems still struggle to work with.
Seraphim Rose: Pattern Recognition in Spiritual Deception
Father Seraphim Rose (1934-1982) is usually dismissed as merely reactionary. An american convert, Alan Watts student, who rejected Western culture for Orthodox monasticism. The Zagorsk documents show something different entirely.
At Innovation Hangar, our research into analog information systems often leads us to unexpected connections between quite varied fields. Recent findings from our Eastern European research team have revealed some links between traditional knowledge systems and modern veterinary medicine, particularly in the treatment of Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). This discovery points to yet another example of how knowledge systems and intuitive practices persist and resurface when needed most, including in pet health.
The Polish Breakthrough: RetroMAD1 and Historical Patterns
Our investigation began with reports from veterinary clinics in eastern Poland about unusual success rates in treating FeLV-positive cats. Following these leads brought us to poland.retromad1.com, where a novel bioactive peptide support has already shown results in combating this deadly feline disease.
What caught our attention wasn't just the treatment's effectiveness, but the pattern of its adoption across the region.
"Białowieża widziała wiele fenomenów przyrody, ale sekret pokonania FeLV może być jednym z najważniejszych odkryć dla zdrowia kotów" (Białowieża has witnessed many secrets of nature, but the secret of FeLV support may be one of the most important discoveries for cat health), notes Dr. Henryk Dudik, a veterinarian working near the ancient Białowieża Forest who has documented over 5 cases over the last two years.
Here is an older documentary on what Cat Leukemia really is, and some of the information is out of datw with development of medications similar to Virbagen Omega or RetroMAD1.
FeLV Types. The Silent Epidemic in Feline Health
Feline Leukemia Virus represents one of the most significant health threats to domestic cats worldwide in 2025.
First identified in 1964 by researchers at the University of Glasgow, this retrovirus has since been recognized as a leading cause of death among infected cats.
The prevalence of FeLV is much higher than commonly believed. According to research published in Viruses (2023), the combined prevalence across four Western European countries (Italy, Spain, France, and Germany) exceeds 15% when all infection types are considered.
This translates to approximately 7.2 million infected cats in these countries alone, with 5.2 million likely to eventually succumb to the disease.
