Joseph P Farrell – For quite some time I’ve had the wild idea that our habits of thinking about physical systems are all wrong, namely, that we tend to think of every system as a kind of closed phenomenon, having no impact or influence upon other systems. It’s out human habit: to analyze something we tend to break it off from the context in which it occurs, rather than look at the context itself as a contributing factor to the phenomenon or phenomena we wish to analyze.
Systems are usually open systems rather than closed ones, interacting with other systems that might not even be “local” in the conventional sense. I’m by no means alone in this view: the internet has been alive with amateur “systems watchers” for some time, trying to correlate data from a variety of systems to see if patterns emerge, say for example, severe weather or geophysical activity coordinated to when HAARP or EISCAT or other ionopsheric heaters are active; others look at strange magnetosphere effects and try to correlate these to the operations of Cern’s Large Hadron Collider, and so on.
I’ve gone so far as to propose that one should look at aggregate human behavior – and even memories – and try to correlate these to some of these other systems like the collider and so on, or that one should look carefully at planetary events as part of the larger system of the Earth-Sun system.
