Remote viewing.

The instrument seals a place on Earth. Describe it before you see it.

01 · The bank Sixty-four real places. The field seals one; you sketch it blind, then judge against three decoys. Chance is one in four, and your record accumulates.
02 · The open field A pure coordinate written by the field, anywhere on Earth or within a chosen distance of you. You get only its designation; sketch first, and the place reveals after.
I · The protocol

This is the coordinate remote viewing protocol of the SRI experiments, worn as a sitting. The live instrument draws six fresh bits from this device’s physical noise and seals one target from a bank of sixty-four real places, satellite-visible anywhere on Earth. You are told nothing but its designation.

You then sketch and describe whatever impressions arrive: forms, textures, water or stone, built or wild. When you are done, four satellite images appear; one is the target, three are decoys the sky dealt. Choose the one that matches your impressions. Chance is one in four. Only after choosing do you see where the target was, and whether you found it.

1 · The sealingSix parity bits from the live stream choose the target, and further parities distill its designation digit by digit, rejection-sampled so each digit is exactly uniform. It stays sealed until the end.
2 · The viewingSketch and describe your impressions. There is no clock; most sittings take five to fifteen minutes.
3 · The judgingFour satellite squares, one true. Your choice against a one-in-four chance is the whole measurement.

The record keeps every session, hit or miss, and the archive publishes only the aggregate. No claims: at chance, one in four of your first choices will hit. What is interesting is a record that drifts from that, in either direction, over many sessions.

The lab · Experiment 02

The open field.

No bank, no decoys: the whole Earth is the target pool.

Fresh bits of this device’s physical noise write a point on Earth digit by digit, each digit distilled from parity bits and rejection-sampled so it is exactly uniform. You are shown only a designation derived from the sealed coordinate, never the coordinate itself. Sketch and describe what arrives; only then does the place reveal, from above, with a door to the real satellite view.

When a distance is set, your location is read once, used on this device to center the draw, and never sent anywhere. Sessions of the open field stay entirely on this device. Most of the planet is ocean, and the field does not mind.
