Effect of the singularity on social institutions in
Global Consciousness Project
1. Global Consciousness Project
The behavior of our network of random
sources is correlated with interconnected human consciousness on a global scale.
When human consciousness becomes coherent, the behavior of random systems may change.
Random number generators (RNGs) based on quantum tunneling produce completely unpredictable
sequences of zeroes and ones. But when a great event synchronizes the feelings of millions of
people, our network of RNGs becomes subtly structured. We calculate one in a trillion odds that the
effect is due to chance. The evidence suggests an emerging noosphere or the unifying field of
consciousness described by sages in all cultures.
The Global Consciousness Project is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists and
engineers. We collect data continuously from a global network of physical random number
generators located in up to 70 host sites around the world at any given time. The data are
transmitted to a central archive which now contains more than 15 years of random data in parallel
sequences of synchronized 200-bit trials generated every second.
Our purpose is to examine subtle correlations that may reflect the presence and activity of
consciousness in the world. We hypothesize that there will be structure in what should be random
data, associated with major global events that engage our minds and hearts.
Subtle but real effects of consciousness are important scientifically, but their real power is more
immediate. They encourage us to make essential, healthy changes in the great systems that
dominate our world. Large scale group consciousness has effects in the physical world. Knowing
this, we can intentionally work toward a brighter, more conscious future.

Research Lab at Princeton University, is directed by Roger Nelson from his home office in Princeton.
The Institute of Noetic Sciences provides a logistical home for the GCP.
