In this context I believe it refers simply to the components of the experiment to recreate the Hutchinson effect. An alternative word to have used may have been circuit.
"The essence of the electromagnetic field theory of consciousness is that conscious perceptions – and also conscious sensations or qualia, inasmuch as they can be said to have independent existence – are identical with certain brain-generated spatiotemporal electromagnetic patterns."
"the electromagnetic field theory of consciousness predicts that in principle, consciousness could be generated using hardware instead of wetware. This single prediction not only renders the electromagnetic field theory testable where the neural identity theory is not – it also opens wondrous vistas with respect to possible future technologies."
The fact that the results found here derive only from a succesful treatement of kinematical, operator product, divergences, gives them a certain robustness. To the extent that the results here stand as predictions of quantum general relativity, they are also predictions of quantum supergravity, or any of the large number of modifications of general relativity such as those that involve dilaton fields or higher derivative terms.
Col. John Alexander: Controlled the 1980’s INSCOM investigation of Hutchison’s research
Still sitting quietly on the carpet, camera in hand, my question about psychic-effects had been one of the first I’d asked. The reason was simple: it’s the primary reason that the scientific community hasn’t put more time and energy into studying the Hutchison-Effect. John’s response was completely correct – from the aerospace, defense, and military officials that I’ve talked to, every single one of them is absolutely enthralled with his results, but ultimately skeptical about understanding an effect that for them has been categorized as “psychic”.
The team originally responsible for categorizing Hutchison’s effects as psychic was led by Col John Alexander of the US Army’s Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). The team was comprised of two groups – the first group being Pharos Technologies, a company dedicated to promoting the Hutchison Effect consisting of Hutchison, Hathaway, and a South African gentleman named Pezzaros. The rest of the investigatory team consisted of Col Alexander, two scientists from Los Alamos National Labs, a rep from the Office of Naval Research, and an Army R&D specialist. They conducted an exhaustive 4-month study of Hutchison’s effects, and eventually reached the conclusion that it was very real, not a hoax, and apparently also not able to be duplicated by anyone other than Hutchison himself – leading to the speculative conclusion that Hutchison was psychic.
’m bothered by the “psychic” characterization for a number of reasons, so I’ll list off a few that have put me in the opposite camp. Firstly, when I conducted an audio interview with retired Col. John Alexander in 2004, I specifically asked him about the Hutchison-Effect. His response wasn’t an enthusiastic “it’s definitely psychic” – in fact, when I asked him about it on-air, he responded with a despondent sigh and slowly added, “well…it must be psychic.” That in itself was an indicator to me – a real ‘tell’ – that Alexander didn’t seem completely confident in the analysis that this was an irreproducible effect that required Hutchison to operate. He seemed to buy into this analysis as an act of desperation – and the note of dejected failure in his voice at having to accept this analysis was the real first indicator that he didn’t want it to be psychic, but he had to support the existing party line.
That some of them are comparatively small might indicate they are involved in a new principle, either of motion or focus of energy of some kind. That they have practical utility is certain or else they would not be developed as a military project. These things have to pass very extreme groups of critics, scientists and research men before the army or navy would adopt them, and their utility must be demonstrated, or else a good probability of it, before the project begins. The project seems to have been running for several years, but is gradually emerging. The public mind does not seem to be unnecessarily anxious, and from everything indicated, the secret will soon be out.
But up to that time it is a very good example for those persons who wish to be thoughtful to assume the attributes, attitudes and policies of mature thinking, and show how intelligent human beings can approach the unknown, and also give those of a less stable and substantial type of mind an opportunity to control their own thinking and escape from a tendency toward the fantastic. If we approach these things reasonably we shall generally be right; whereas, if we approach them too dramatically we shall be wrong.
The device in all probability is some highly specialized scientific structure intended to advance research. The device itself may not be the project, but some means of testing for something else, but whether it is a means to an end, or is the end itself, it is almost certainly humanly guided, humanly devised, and is being advanced in the unfoldment of necessary research into the great and powerful potentials of the planet. Beyond that I think we shall simply have to wait until Uncle Sam decides to talk, and anyone who talks before that would be doing every one concerned a great unkindness.

I think too much is being read into his use of the word system.
In this context I believe it refers simply to the components of the experiment to recreate the Hutchinson effect. An alternative word to have used may have been circuit.
In other words he is asking whether the effects produced require Hutchinson himself to be involved, not because of any fraudulent behavior, but that he deliberately / inadvertently affected the results through some psychic (EM / poltergeist type) effect.
Basically he is asking Hutchinson himself whether he thinks he is the catalyst in the experiment - is he part of the system (circuit) that produces the EM effects observed.
