Consider the following outline.
A psuedo-random generator is designed using Visual Basic. A total of ten
short sentences are typed into a text entry box. Each sentence describes
a simple instruction. The software application then extracts each statement
and stores them individually into a unique element of a ten dimensional array.
A pyramid device is constructed according to Jerry Deckers physical design specifications.
Ten mung bean pods are aquired. Ten simple containers filled with rich potting
soil are acquired. The bean pods are planted at the same basic time, one pod per container.
Allocate a well lit room. Place all ten containers on a table or in a tray in the room.
Give them equal amounts of water on a regular basis.
The randomized statements entered into the pyramid device are as follows.
1.) The bean pod in container ONE grows two times faster than all other bean pods on
the table, in the room, in the house / apartment located at address such and such.
2.) The bean pod in container TWO grows two times faster than all other bean pods
on the table, in the room, in the house / apartment located at address such and
such.
3.) The bean pod in container THREE grows two times faster than all other bean pods
on the table, in the room, in the house / apartment located at address such and
such.
and so on... up to ten.
Label each container with a number so that each is indicated by a number from the 1 to 10 series.
Have the VB app randomly select a number from one to ten, use this number to choose
an array element containing its unique text as described above. Do NOT view this
selection. Print the selection out onto paper. Fold the paper and do NOT look at it.
You should have no knowledge as to which bean pod / container was selected.
Put this paper, as the 'script', into the pyramid device as indicated by Jerry in regards
to placement / location.
Allow enough time pass so that all beans have sprouted and begun to grow. Allow
enough time for the sprouts to grow substantially. Measure the height of the sprouts
as they grow. Are they of similiar height? Are any sprouts significantly taller than the rest?
After allowing enough time for significant growth to occur, remove the 'script' and see
which bean pod /container was selected for accelerated growth. Does the 'script'
correspond with any bean pod that has grown much faster? If so, how well does the
growth compare to the instruction set? Did it grow twice as fast?
If yes, try the experiment again, re-randomizing the 'script' selection. Do this at
least 5 times. Are the results consistent?
If no noticeable phenomenon occurs evaluate the outcome according to your own criteria.
If noticeable phenomenon does occur evaluate the outcome according to your own criteria.
My opinion is that if no consistent phenomenon occurs then this indicates either that the
device doesn't work or is not measurable in a qualifiable manner. I would speculate that
it may not be useful in investigating m-fields and that if the device does appear to function
sometimes under the conscious influence of a sentient being, that some sort of 'religious'
practice is being utilized. A 'religous' practice which I personally would avoid in this
scenario.
My opinion is that if consistent phenomenon occurs then this indicates that the device
works within a natural, physical framework and is measurable in a qualifiable manner.
I would speculate that it may be useful in investigating m-fields and that the device
does not seem to function under the conscious influence of a sentient being, or that
some sort of 'religious' practice is being utilized.
Does any of this make any sense?
