A single human egg is artificially induced to divide and produce up to 96 identical embryos.

These embryos then develop into 96 identical human beings. This method is used to create large numbers of uniform individuals, particularly for the lower castes (Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon) in the World State.

This technique accelerates the development of eggs, allowing thousands of nearly identical embryos to be produced quickly. By controlling the maturation process, the World State can predict and fulfill population needs with precision.

In the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre, embryos and fetuses are manipulated to shape their eventual roles in society. Embryos are subjected to different treatments based on their intended caste.

Oxygen deprivation and alcohol exposure are used to limit the intellectual capacity of lower-caste embryos, ensuring that they are better suited for manual labor.

Once children are born, they undergo psychological conditioning to reinforce loyalty to the World State.

The "Neo-Pavlovian Conditioning Rooms" expose infants to repeated stimuli (such as loud noises and electric shocks) paired with objects or behaviors that the state wants them to avoid, like books or flowers. This creates an aversion to things that might encourage free thinking or individual pursuits.

This technique is a cornerstone of the World State's reproductive control. By splitting one fertilized human egg to produce between 8 and 96 identical embryos, the World State can create large numbers of uniform workers. The process is particularly used for lower castes (such as Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons), where individuality would be seen as destabilizing.

The Director describes it as a method for producing “standard men and women; in uniform batches,” which reduces variation and ensures predictability in behavior and skillsets. This process eliminates the need for sexual reproduction, placing all control of population growth and societal roles in the hands of the State.

The Podsnap Technique is used to speed up the maturation of eggs, creating what the Director calls “a whole batch at once.” This allows for the simultaneous production of thousands of identical individuals, like products rolling off an assembly line. The technique guarantees that social needs, such as labor shortages or specific skills, can be met with precise, batch production.

This technique also enforces social hierarchy by producing specific castes in batches as needed, all regulated by the State. Higher castes like Alphas and Betas, however, are created through separate, more controlled processes, preserving their individuality and superiority, while the lower castes are mass-produced.

After decanting, children undergo Neo-Pavlovian Conditioning to reinforce their societal roles and attitudes. For example, in Chapter 2, infants in the Nursery are exposed to roses and books, then shocked with electric currents when they approach these items. This instills a deep-seated aversion to nature and knowledge, keeping lower castes from developing interests that could disrupt the social order.

Such conditioning molds children from birth, reinforcing the World State’s values and expectations. Another form of conditioning includes hypnopaedic (sleep) lessons, where children absorb moral and social teachings while they sleep. These teachings repeat ideas like consumerism, conformity, and caste pride, so that each individual grows up internalizing the State's worldview.
