headline claims
MPI's no-transmission axiom entails, in advance of any data, that anomalous correlations will decline, change sign, or displace whenever an experimental protocol would allow them to be exploited as a stable signal.
The pattern of early positive results, decline, and displacement in the correlation-matrix program is produced by genuine non-local psychophysical correlations of the kind MPI describes.
Regression to the mean, analytic flexibility, publication bias, and statistical dependence among matrix variables are jointly sufficient to explain the correlation-matrix record — the early positives and the decline — without any anomalous correlation.
featured, by theme
The correlation-matrix program2 ▸
The original correlation-matrix experiments conducted by Lucadou's group (1986–2006) reported significantly more significant correlations between psychological and physical variables in experimental sessions than in control sessions.
The correlation-matrix design was constructed as MPI's own proposed test: by spreading potential effects across many variable pairs with no single outcome channel, it is intended to detect entanglement correlations without enabling signal transmission.
The replication record1 ▸
The decline prediction2 ▸
Reported effects in the correlation-matrix program have not remained stable under replication: initially significant patterns weakened, changed sign, or shifted to different variables, cells, or analyses in subsequent studies.
MPI's no-transmission axiom entails, in advance of any data, that anomalous correlations will decline, change sign, or displace whenever an experimental protocol would allow them to be exploited as a stable signal.
The conventional statistics steelman2 ▸
Regression to the mean, analytic flexibility, publication bias, and statistical dependence among matrix variables are jointly sufficient to explain the correlation-matrix record — the early positives and the decline — without any anomalous correlation.
Intercorrelation among the psychological variables violated the independence assumptions of the original correlation-matrix analyses, and dependence-aware reanalyses substantially diminish the founding excess-correlation results.
The unreviewed catalog
3 claims in the ledger that the current edition does not feature — most extracted from the source literature and imported without individual human review. Each is one atomic statement with its anchor; none carries a judgment until an edition features it and its adopted assessment supplies the full treatment.
Elusiveness across parapsychology2 ▸
In recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis (poltergeist) case reports, new phenomena tend to appear where previously observed phenomena are expected, rather than repeating on demand.
Decline effects, experimenter dependence, and evasive result patterns are documented across parapsychology paradigms generally, not only in correlation-matrix experiments.
