Abstract
This
paper consists of a fifteen-part, lengthy series of articles. We examine how
the various manifestations of psi phenomena can be explained by applying the
Neppe-Close Triadic Dimensional-Distinction vortical paradigm. Importantly, the
psi descriptions are examined non-prejudicially, irrespective of whether these
psi phenomena truly exist.
However,
the overwhelming frequentist statistical data for the existence of psi
phenomena are listed, and the explanations posited support its existence.
Nevertheless, we examine the theoretical assumptions that these phenomena do
happen and need to be understood.
To
facilitate the contents of each part, we include the abstracted headers in
bulleted form. This allows for a more adequate summary. The 14 parts are as follows,
with part 12 having 7 sub-sections:
What
is psi and how should we explain it? (Part 1)
Statistical
demonstrations of psi (Part 2). This part discusses the 9 six-sigma protocols,
plus spontaneous information, the confounders and how these extraordinary
claims require extraordinary evidence.
Theoretical
bases to analyze psi (Part 3)
Revisiting
TDVP: Can we use it to explain psi? (Part 4)
Linkages
with non-locality and psi: A perspective (Part 5)
The
Broader Perspective of “Non-locality” (Part 6)
Consciousness:
A brief voyage linked with psi and “Non-locality” (Part 7)
Toward
a method of proof for added dimensions (Part 8)
Relative
and dynamic psi, and gimmel: The non-local variants (Part 9)
Esoteric
non-local variants of delta (Part 10)
Revisiting
terminology: Relative, framework and immediacy in psi (Part 11)

Special
concepts in the anomalous process (Part 13)

grateful to Jacqueline Slade for her meticulous editing assistance. Thank you,
too, to our reviewers of the various sections, thus far. This interim paper

The current article is based on several different sources. A major initial
source was our book Reality Begins with
Consciousness: A Paradigm Shift that Works
(Fifth Edition) 2014. 1 These chapters discussed the statistical
data on psi and the originally proposed concepts of relative non-locality and
its different frameworks plus concepts such as vortical indivension. 2 We acknowledge, too, the Pacific
Neuropsychiatric Institute as well as the journals Explore and the Journal of
Consciousness Exploration and Research that have published our original
articles which link the area of non-locality, though these parts have been
significantly modified.
