[Coherent Systems A.1.A.3.] Now primary for data applications: Abbreviated Secrets of Prediction PSYCHIC CLUES: There is something similar about it to something important to you, for example if you use a Q-tip for your skin medication, you might see a Q-tip on the ground within 3 days to a week, that wasn’t dropped by you. Something seems especially familiar like you keep thinking about it day after day, then it changes or something happens to it. Something has been creeping in the back of your mind, like it is creepily familiar. For example, you can’t stop thinking of car accidents but it never completely surfaces in your mind, like someone is trying to hide the information. Then you witness a car accident. Something draws your attention the first time you see it, then someone uses it or it has an intimate role to play (in love it may be the opposite: things that don’t seem to matter come into play). Something resists your attention, then you think of something strangely related to it, then the strsngely related thing starts to happen immediately, much later, strongly, etc. Credit due in part to a Witch in Westville or West Haven, Connecticut. It was said the material could be re-used if a different title was chosen, which it was. Also, some parts were added that were not overheard from the witch. I am also convinced this writing occurs sometimes as a natural thinking process, although in my case it wouldn’t have come very naturally. Astrological predictions If you are young and attractive, you might meet your twin flame, unless you are upset, in which case an accident will happen with your better half. If you don’t know what to say, then the future is a bit foggy, but something bad will probably happen, we’re not sure what. If you are anxious and successful, your business will have good moments and bad moments, but you have to watch out for a big problem looming on the horizon. If you are getting old, something terrible will likely happen to you or someone you love, something terrible and unexpected which requires more investigation.

If you want to commit suicide, you’re actually a good person who shouldn’t try it. You shouldn’t even try it if you’re a bad person, because some luck is headed your way. 2. If you want to question ‘everything’ there is some specialism you should notice which might help you. For example, if you think everything is nihilism, you might really need to discover coherent philosophy. If you had a religious revelation, you might actually be interested in science. 3. If all you want to do is question conspiracy theories, there is probably a legitimate theory out there you would notice if you didn’t focus on conspiracies. 4. If you think you understand everything, you would probably benefit by changing your mind and remaining open. PSYCHIC CALCULUS: Michael’s Formula for the Psychic Calculus: The Opposite Limitedness, in Opposite Order if Necessary. Take an example: Sweden, say it means a place where they like to give the Nobel Prize, the psychic prediction is that no one wins the Nobel Prize. A popsicle is frozen as long as it doesn’t melt, and gives a sweet feeling, the psychic prediction is that there is a big ball of fire, and the popsicle melts, and you get a bitter feeling. A chai tea from Starbux is the perfect drink, the psychic prediction is it’s better if you don’t drink it, or it’s perfectly ugly for you because others don’t drink it. You’re wearing sweat pants because you expect to sweat. The answer is you’ll need them when you don’t expect it’s cold. —The Psychic Calculus … PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS: Psychic prediction may take several basic forms. First I will describe the most basic types of prediction. First of all, the most basic type is 0-dimensional prediction. This consists of predicting what has already occurred, that is, predicting the types of things that have already happened. A second degree of this is had by predicting things that are similar to those things that have happened. For our purposes, this can be called simple generalization. If Henrick usually wants to play games, perhaps he wants to play games now. This is the first dimension of prediction, and it is the type that gains most easily by probabilistic inductions. This method is also called specialized prediction when it is applied to specialized modes of behavior. For example, we can predict that a Matisse will sell high compared to an unknown artist. We know that popular items in an auction sell high, whereas unpopular items might not sell at all. Therefore, there is an exponential relationship for example, between selling a Matisse, and selling a Matisse at an auction. These kinds of things can be predicted by studying the specific character of the modalities and events involved in a given situation. However, if an event is instead informal or contrived, this lends an aspect of unpredictability. The predictions only work when all of the prior conditions are met, and become less predictable with every difference from the previous cases. Therefore, differences can be used to predict differences, as another type of specialized prediction. It may help to predict trickery or confusion (‘likely outcomes’), rather than predicting a specific event. It should be accepted that some conditions and choices are arbitrary. Because we do not know if conditions will be met to satisfaction, we know that some events are arbitrary. If the conditions are one half different, then prediction requires a strong degree of formalism, however that is calculated. It involves, in effect, exceeding expectations, or coming across an event that happened just in the same way, but as if by chance. This is one reason that scientists have been known to require the reproduction of laboratory conditions, even with highly predictable phenomena. Thus, specialized predictions have some limitations. The next type is delineative or elaborative prediction. What it consists of is a generalization modified by additional imagination about the significance of the factors involved. This type of prediction can be called variablistic, because it often functions by applying a generalization to a deduction about a variable. If elephants are painted red, perhaps it is a sight for sore eyes, etc. One form of this is prediction through emergence. This is not necessarily a linear prediction because it essentially doesn’t predict based on existing data. Nor does it predict based on known exterior data. Instead, it involves a conclusion that something is missing from the data. Logical conclusions are drawn so that we can make major systemic conclusions about what the data means. The new theory appears as if from thin air. This is similar to the emergence of Darwinism, or the genetic explanation of reproduction. What determines the success of these theories is their relative importance, not necessarily the lack of any alternative. It is the importance of the theory----its emergence----which drives the prediction. (Many theories from social science involve emergent theories, such as socialism and capitalism. Instead of acting as a formal constraint, they often expand the way that the conditions function. In this case, the explanation is not erroneous, but instead, serves as a new rational mode of explanation). A third type is contingent or categorical prediction. If something is the case, then we can predict that the things that rely upon this first condition are modified when that category is modified. This form of prediction works better for predicting quality differences than actually-different conditions. However, if multiple qualities are absent, predictions can be made about the alternatives. If there is no snow, it can be predicted that it is not cold, or there is a shortage of water, for instance. If it is not cold, one can predict that it is arid or moist. If there is a shortage of water, one can predict that it is dry, or there is a high tolerance for water. This can also take the form of complex categorization. Attaching variables to a given object means that predicting the outcome for the main object affects the outcome of some, if not all, of the variables. For example, ‘if we do something extreme, the change might be observable. Otherwise, it is an abstract or un-measurable form of extremity. We must have some means of observation, or we can usually conclude that the effects are not extreme. Or we can adopt an irrational view’. A fourth type of prediction is coherent prediction. This is also called synergism or epiphany. The simplest form of coherent prediction occurs by the exclusion of all but one unlikely option. Hella spent a hot day in the desert, and she was outdoors, and walked several miles, time passed and she didn’t expire: she must have brought something to drink with her. A more complex form occurs by qualifying what it means to make a given combination. People who have complicit sex are always lovers. Therefore, if two people have sex, it might be complicit, and they might be lovers. Or, something is complicit between two people. If it is sex, they are lovers. This can even involve highly complex phenomena. For example: Joe defines himself as an editor, but he works as an economist. In some way he is doing economic editing. This is the beginning of a genuinely psychic method. Attaching judgments of fully embraced variables can be a meaningful way of reaching for epiphanies. For example, what ‘definitely IS something’ about a given thing? Then apply that condition to factors like responsibility, organization, and predictability. An exception to this is so-called ‘black swans’. In that case, one must predict the rationale which makes something a black swan. The rule in that case is that things are either unreasonable, reasonable, without purpose, or serving a prescribed function. A method for solving black swans involves corroboration or defaulting. This occurs when there is no better explanation remaining for a given thing. Well, we know that such-and-such a creature has eyes based on the related species, but nothing about the creature looks exactly like eyes. The eyes must be these spots on its back. Otherwise its blind. Or, black swans could exist, as long as we know that color serves no inherent function. Now for more genuine psychic predictions: A second genuine form of psychic prediction involves using a posteriori reasoning on a 0-dimensional prediction. For example, if we know that some events are arbitrary, then we can derive that we don’t know if some conditions will be met to satisfaction. If we know Henrick wants to play games now, we can predict that he usually wants to play games. This form of prediction often involves deducing the types of statements that lead to a particular line of reasoning: that is, predicting a rationale. Many psychics are familiar with this way of phrasing deductions. A third form of genuine psychic prediction involves determination based on unstated facts. Since everyone thinks about the opposite of what they say, at least unconsciously, combining multiple opposite terms for terms that have been stated as someone’s opinion, or as the definition of a motive or interest for the person or organization, will give information about the genuine motivations, or else the looming unknowns in the life of the person or organization. For example, if someone states that the first thing on their mind is their motorcycle, and the second thing on their mind is their manhood, then you can predict that they’re concerned about meeting someone else on a motorcycle. (Note: This particular method of the ten methods may be restricted by a rare psychic patent owned by Randy the psychic, and thus conceivably may not be used for commercial purposes. However, there is also some chance I interpreted Randy's formula differently or with fewer nuances than the original, as I used induction on some information that hadn't been revealed. Also, Randy claimed this was a basic method). A fourth form of genuine psychic prediction involves categorical relationships. One can ask or predict ‘what is someone’s usual mode of relation with the world?’ Then one can predict that they use that mode of relation with their perceived opposites. For example, an artist who expresses that the thing on his mind is cars can be predicted ‘not to buy a painting of a car, instead you’ll make it yourself’ (the concealed opposition is between the artist who makes art, and his opposite, the buyer of the art. The opposite of making a painting of a car is buying a painting of a car). Similarly, if a business expresses itself as aggressive and competitive, but you think they’re liars, you can predict they’ll have contradictory marketing (‘competing truths’, since their mode of relation is competition, and their opposite is the truth). A fifth form of genuine psychic prediction: take any number of factors describing a current event or situation you’re in, and reverse the factors that are different from the subject. This can be used to predict how someone is feeling, or what their core motivation are. For example, an artist is at a business convention. So they’re feeling unconventional, and they feel like making art, since that is not a different motive from business. Or, a philosophy society is at an art gallery. So, it thinks its popular art (‘society’ does not conflict with ‘gallery’), and it thinks its un-philosophical art, or tries to make connections between art and philosophy (‘philosophy’ is different from ‘art’ or it can be debated). Other conclusions might be that they think art is trying to commercialize philosophy, that philosophy ought to involve graphics, or to view art or philosophy as a socialist movement. The sixth form: Coherent Questions. The best formula I have found for what someone desires to know is: “The opposite of you related to something different from both your opposite and you.” For example, someone sadistic may want to know “What happens” (to a victim). A philosopher may want to know the reason for practical things. A child may want to know who they would be when they grow up. (An old person may want to know when they will be young again, or when it will be over). The seventh form: good X → good X (Y). Good Y → good Y (X). Moderate X (Y) and Y (X) = medium of prediction. Those are the ten categories of prediction that I have determined. I hope this writing may be considered useful to my readers on this most often unrealized subject. CRITIQUES: Someone offers a psychic model. Someone offers a psychic model about them.
