Global Correlations in Random Data

Rotating Earth, 800K The Global Consciousness Project, also called the EGG Project, is an international and multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists, engineers, artists and others. This website introduces methods and technology and empirical results in one section, and presents interpretations and applications in another.

random colors 
per egg per sec We have been collecting data from a global network of random event generators since August, 1998. The network has grown to about 65 host sites around the world running custom software that reads the output of physical random number generators and records a 200-bit trial sum once every second, continuously over months and years. The data are transmitted over the internet to a server in Princeton, NJ, USA, where they are archived for later analysis. Individual data create a tapestry of color. The dot below shows coherence.

The purpose of this project is to examine subtle correlations that appear to reflect the presence and activity of consciousness in the world. When millions of us share intentions and emotional responses the GCP/EGG network shows significant patterning. This implies that we can become aware of a burgeoning global consciousnes and participate in its evolution.

ON THE LEFT

scientifically treated results

a study of apparent patterns that should not exist in truly random sequences

analysis providing details and context to support building good models

an unambiguous picture of data with minimal interpretation

the goal is to learn the sources of structure and understand mechanism

ON THE RIGHT

poetic interpretation and art

a free hand with possiblities touching eye and ear, seeking the heart of the matter

aesthetic and spiritual issues that are central to creative cultural evolution

feeling for the meaning of evident links between events and observers

the goal is to see interconnection as real & creative mind as magical
