StructureWhere there should be none
There is “some there there” Odds less than 1 in 1,000,000 Two independent measures Correlated response to events Distance structure Time structure Psychological structure Data anomalies vs selection A sampling of explorations

Internet transfer of data to Princeton It looks random: Combined dataFor a whole day, about 60 eggs

Average cumulative deviationshown by the black dotted line
We can see better what’s happening byPlotting cumulative deviations (2 - df)

Formal tests: First identify major events Then ask if there is a trend of accumulating deviations
Figures show sequential history of a sample ofData collected in a pre-defined time period
The test statistic is the terminal value

Concatenate almost 10 years of formal data 250 rigorously defined global events
Odds: Million to 1 against chance
Small effect: The average Z-score is about 0.35

Independent Statistics
First order, S1, is called Netvar Second order, S2, is called
Covar

Event data contain Highly significant correlations

Independent MeasuresSimulate Netvar with average effect Calculate Covar for same “events”
Blue = random Netvar
Red = random Covar
![Page 14: What's Happening In the Global Consciousness Project?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813dc9550346895da79047/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Time structure: Sliding the “event” away From the actual event time producesDrop-off for both Netvar and Covar
Blue = Network Variance
Red = Global Covariance
Correlatedmeasures
Event+/- 15 days
Dispersion = Netvar+Covar

Time structureCorrelation of two independent measuresZ-scores maximal for events ~ 1-2 hours
What might explain this?

Distance StructureIndependent measures, distance scaleBoth are driven by inter-reg correlation
Blue: pair-product data in 1000 km binsRed: simulation in 7 event pseudo-sets
Green line: regression fit to real dataBlue line: regression fit simulation data
Yellow: weighting for regression

Evidence of correlation with consciousness

Long term trend suggests Searching for external correlates
Social variable: Presidential Approval
Raw Approval Rating2 Parameter model fit
F = a (value) + b (slope)Red = polls
Blue = data
Red = polls
Blue = data
It is important to rememberthis is a correlation. There is no assertion of causation.
