I understand what they're attempting to correlate (I think ), what I'm having a difficult time grasping is the assumption that there's any external tie-in that can be validly made. Especially tying it to "consciousness" when you could just as easily assume it was stellar perturbation or the activity of army ants in the Amazon. Very Chaos Theory only without the (apparent) deterministic component.
Worth the exercise to explore and attempt to explain, I think. There are some leaps that give me pause, though. Seems like a high-tech casting chicken bones situation.

let me see if I can understand this in my terms,.
there are these generators planted Globally?
and our thoughts have the ability to alter the frequency that they emit?
Originally posted by NewlyAwakenedI think that's the basic idea - a high-tech divination technique. It seems to depend on the idea of synchronicity (that coincidences which are not causally related can nevertheless be possessed of some sort of cosmic meaning).
It's not out of the realm of imaginable possibility, but the sort of thing to be highly skeptical of unless it starts successfully making uncanny predictions.

DK... that's not really accurate. No correlation has evenr been made between 0's and 1's realtive to good/bad, positive/negative. The colors (as I explaind in my last post) indicate the direction of variation from random in the network. Shifts toward red are FAR more common than #s toward blue. The theory is that collectively we are precognitive. We have a sixth sense that something is about to happen. There have been lots of university studies for decades that bear this out. So, if something is 'up' all of our sixth senses will fire and that is what is effecting the output of the eggs. But again, there is no good or bad indicator here. Just that the collectively perceived significance of something is large enough to get all our sixth sense energies pumping. Could be something good, could be something bad but we're all tweaked by it and (usually) in-sync.

How can an electronic device ever be truly 100% random? I always thought that it was not possible...
