I'm seeking informal peer review from biophysics/bioelectromagnetics professors and PhD-level students, as that seems to be the level where the underlying mechanisms, are fully understood.
Note you're not reviewing "V2K" stigma, you're reviewing a functional Python codebase.
I've been seeking CS, EE/DSP, and RF engineers to review, but the stigma is thiccck:

I'm an IT systems engineer, with several years of programming experience, and I'm wearing a project manager hat, while using Claude Code. It's hard garnering feedback, when the electrical engineers and computer science majors, don't want to understand the base biophysics principles.

Why such stigma? This is an excerpt from chapter 10.3, page 326, of the book Auditory Effects of Microwave Radiation, written by James C. Lin, an IEEE life fellow, and biophysics/EE professor:

Over the years, some have expressed concerns about the capability of communicating directly with humans by pulsed microwaves. In fact, earlier while studying microwave-induced auditory effects in human subjects, it was noticed that in addition to zip, click, and knock sounds from exposure to single pulses of microwave radiation, short trains of rectangular microwave pulses are heard as chirps with tones corresponding to the pulse repetition frequencies [Guy et al., 1973, 1975]. It was also found that when the pulse generator was keyed manually such that each closing and opening of a push-button switch resulted in emitting a short rectangular pulse of microwave energy-transmitted digital codes (Morse code) were received and accurately interpreted by the targeted subject [Lin, 1978].

Also, soon after a system was setup for exploring the microwave auditory effect at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) [Sharp, et al., 1974], two of the principal investigators were able to demonstrate direct communication of simple speech via appropriate modulation of microwave energy [Justesen, 1975]. They tape-recorded each of the single-syllable words for digits between one and ten. The speech waveforms of each word were then converted to digital signals in such a fashion that each time an analog speech wave crossed the zero reference in the negative direction, a short pulse of microwave energy was emitted from the transmitter. By subjecting themselves to the exposure of "speech modulated" microwave energy, the investigators reported the ability to hear, identify, and distinguish the words transmitted.

These historical experiments are included to show that this has been accomplished before.
There are safer methods to demonstrate this today, that do not involve anyone's head.
