Reality Research
A laboratory for testing attention, randomness and coincidence that is built to show you when nothing happened.
The hosted app loads. Accounts and group sessions depend on a backend I haven't verified.

The problem or experience
Claims about consciousness and coincidence are usually easy to believe and hard to check. Each instrument here records real trials, keeps a control, and reports honestly, including how often pure noise looks significant.
Who it's for
Curious skeptics and curious believers who want to run an experiment themselves in about twenty seconds.
My contribution
It is my project: the instruments, the pre-registration approach and the interface are built to behave like a scientific instrument and not a dashboard.
What works today
- Eight instruments, including a blinded target guess and a baseline auditor that runs null experiments.
- The first experiment needs no account and takes twenty seconds.
- A prediction vault, a synchronicity log and a data explorer record what you did.
Limitations
- It is a research toy, not research. Nothing here is a scientific result.
- Group sessions and accounts need the backend, which I haven't checked.

Updates
Reality Research: accounts, attribution and run-level drill-down
The latest commit adds accounts, attribution of results to the person who ran them, and a drill-down from a summary to individual runs.
How you can get involved
Help me find the flaws.
- If you know experimental design or statistics, tell me which instrument is least convincing.
- Run an instrument and send me what felt confusing.
