Mind-Matter Connections

An effort of human intention producing an effect on a mechanical process is called “psychokinesis,” something commonly depicted in fantasy and sci-fi movies as a spectacular superpower. We are now learning that it might not be as rare as the movies make it seem and that with repeated, consistent practice, anyone may be able to develop these unique mental capabilities. When Randonauts deal with nondeterministic randomness (like lottery balls), we hypothesize that it allows for thoughts to have more influence on matter.

At the heart and soul of Randonautica is the mind-matter interaction algorithm called Newton Library, which anyone can access through Randonautica’s application programming interface (API), software that permits two applications to talk to each other. Newton Library is closed source, but it is accessible to use by anyone in Randonautica, so you can’t see the code, but you can use it in Randonautica. The reason Randonautica harnesses true, nondeterministic randomness is because of this algorithm. The process is an example of a “majority vote” algorithm, where statistical anomalies are measured (remember, an anomaly is something that doesn’t seem right). What does that mean? Newton Library sets thousands of random points all around a radius of your geographic location. Wherever those random points cluster to an improbable degree, we can hypothesize that an anomaly may reveal an interesting geographic location. By consciously intending to influence the random number distribution, you have aided the probability of finding whatever you are looking for. That’s why you use a nondeterministic number source—one that can spit out different results every time.

Not every anomaly scan will yield something—sometimes there are simply no anomalies present. If there isn’t a statistically improbable cluster of random points, no anomaly will be found. But there have been so many interesting stories of mind-bending experiences in which people have found things relating to what they were thinking or feeling or talking about when they were generating the point, that it sort of scratches the “existential curiosity itch” that any good aspiring mad scientist encounters. If you can visualize your consciousness influencing an RNG, and understand that you think and something happens, you are ready to start experimenting with randomness.
