The methodology behind non-local perception

This page is the scientific posture — protocols, lineages, and the commitments that govern every session. For the institutional product that operationalizes this work for universities and labs, see Atlas.

The Lineage

Three measurement paradigms, each with a published history.

The protocols we run are not novel. They are the canonical paradigms of the academic psi literature, adapted to modern instrumentation.

Forced-choice ESP

Rhine / Duke University, 1930s–

A forced-choice paradigm descended from J.B. Rhine's Duke University protocols. Symbol recognition trials against a known chance rate, with server-verified statistics.

Retrocausal influence

Schmidt retrocausation paradigm, 1970s–

Tamper-evident sealed target pools, causality-direction testing, cross-verified statistics. Built around the published Schmidt protocols with modern integrity primitives.

Remote viewing

SRI program, 1970s–

Target-based perceptual protocols supporting both clairvoyance and telepathy modes. Built around the SRI remote viewing literature and its figure-of-merit scoring tradition.

Methodology

Four commitments anchor every tool we ship.

  1. Pre-registration

    Study protocols are declared before data collection, with hashed commitment recorded ahead of results.

  2. Sealed target pools

    Atomic, tamper-evident pools for retrocausation and remote-viewing work, independently verifiable after the fact.

  3. LST timestamping

    Every session is stamped with Local Sidereal Time (Spottiswoode convention) so field-effect studies remain tractable.

  4. Server-side statistics

    Client values are visible for debugging; all analyses are recomputed server-side using documented formulas — empirical null for PCE, exact binomial where warranted, FOM where Ed May's methodology applies.

Integrity Layer

Research attestation, under active development.

Our database schema supports Cardano blockchain anchoring for session commitments and result hashes. The on-chain integration is currently stubbed while we finish validation — we'd rather ship this when it's real than claim a feature that isn't fully wired.

Sealed-pool verification is already live.

  • Sealed pool verification — live
  • Cardano anchoring — in development
  • Cross-verification against sealed pools — live
Data & Collaboration

Open by default.

Independent researchers can request access to anonymized session data, propose co-designed studies, or replicate our protocols at their own sites. We'd rather share than hoard — the field is small and the questions are old.
