Randonautica: using quantum randomness to break reality

Next, it was my turn to set an intention. I wanted to find something related to "orange tarp". Maybe this one is a bit of a stretch but, Randonautica led us directly to this thing. It's orange and it sort of has a "tarp" over it, right?

Note to self: do not play this game with your wife. Unbeknownst to me, her intention was to find the location of "my girlfriend". We followed the trail, and now I have a black eye, thank you very much.

That was just a joke but it's actually based on coordinates I got yesterday that we intended to visit today. As I said, my wife's intention was to find my "girlfriend". We went today not actually expecting to find "her", lol.

However, before I met my wife, my girlfriend of two years was named Raven. On our Randonaut adventure we were amazed when we saw these ravens lurking about us on our trail. They followed us for a bit.




What a good laugh that was!

We tried another intention. This time we thought, "creepy crime scene".

The coordinates dropped the pin in the middle of a lake. Obviously, we could not investigate that one, so we returned home.

Tomorrow, we're going out again on another Randonaut adventure.

It was a good day.

gonnae try experimenting with this next week

going to do it individually and not with my partner , we are going to try it separately
we are going to do it off the cuff , as in not thinking much before hand about the intention

so 1 minute thinking about the intention
then 5 minutes then 10 minutes
to see if it affects the results

my mate went out with his friend and asked for something spooky
then he found someones bug out bag

his two female friends tried it and they chose "Horny" as their intention and it took them to a a garden gnome with his bum out hahah

I thought about using it to find magic mushrooms as my intention

I'm done with randonautica for a while. I need to recover from that last nites "adventure"....

OOOOOH do tell ?

Anyone read the forgotten languages post on consciousness from a couple days ago ?

pretty mad stuff

detect ing consciousness

"We ran global consciousness experiments to further test the quantum pendulum device and to finetune the Queltron machine. Those experiments are run without people being aware they are part of an experiment.

We can generate doctored news (ironically enough today they call it fake news) such as the detection of an asteriod in Earth collision route. The global anxiety generated among the world population is enough to have a measurable effect on the pendulum. But we were totally baffled by the fact that what was initially started as a fake news, it became real in the end. This was a totally unexpected result.

Imagine we devise a thorough experiment by which we announce worldwide the outburst of a new virus in a remote region of Mongolia... to then receive reports of thousands of people been infected, hospitals collapsing, etc. We know that cannot be simply because we are the ones who created the fake news to run our global consciousness-related experiment, yet the disease turns real... how do you explain that??"

based on the above , I really believe the war of the worlds broadcast was the worlds first attempt at such an idea
to mass influence global consciousness to usher in an age of global unity in the face of alien invasion.

I just think that it didn't work because there weren't enough listeners globally at the time.

a reply to: sapien82

yet the disease turns real... how do you explain that??"

A reverse placebo effect. Tell enough people they are going to get sick and die, some will believe it. The medical community is still struggling with the full implications intentions have and does need to be measured on a case by case basis when approving of new medications.

Today's Randonautica adventure was a hit.

Another hit, I should say.

So far, I've been very successful, as you can see from my previously posted adventures.

This time, though, it was quite creepy.

Here's the story.

I picked up my daughter's boyfriend, Rodney - my fellow Randonaut - at about 2 pm.

He wanted me to give him some driving lessons before heading out for our Randonautica adventure.

Okay, fair enough. (Let me just say here for the record that, after blowing through two stop signs, I eventually took over.)

Before leaving for our journey - him in the driver's seat, me in the passenger's, parked beside the curb - we set our intention, and got our coordinates.

Our intention was to find 'Skull & Bones'.

Our Randonautica destination - which we were going to check out after driving lessons - turned out to be in one of the roughest neighbourhoods in town, across the street from a biker's club, and next to a rather seedy bar/hotel.

The pin dropped onto the property of an old abandoned brewery founded in 1907 and defunct in 2006.

Lovely - glad it was during daylight hours.

For now, we set that aside to concentrate on Rodney's driving lesson.

As I said, I needed to test his driving skills before setting off.

So, I suddenly got this bright idea: Since Rodney lives beside a graveyard, I thought I would test his driving skills there, in the graveyard, by driving around in it.

Mmhm. Stupid. That makes two of us, haha.

Keep in mind, we had already set our Randonautica intention before setting out into the graveyard; our intention was to find, 'Skull & Bones'.

He hasn't got much driving experience so, taking him through the graveyard/maze of driveable, one-car pathways made sense to me - at the time.

My thinking was, it would be impossible for him to kill anyone.

After some time driving around in the graveyard, not really thinking about our Randonautica intention (Skull & Bones), we happened upon this:



As some of you may know, I'm a Freemason. I told Rodney that I happen to know the Fleming family quite well. They are a 5th generation Masonic family here where I live. In fact, to Rodney's dismay, his girlfriend - my daughter - somewhat dated one of them, and he knew that. I don't think it sat well with him, lol!

Anyways, that's weird, right? Haha!

Some people inaccurately associate Freemasonry with Yale's secret society, known as 'Skull & Bones'. That's why I took that picture.

Now, don't get me wrong. It freaked me out, too, especially since we hadn't yet officially started our Randonautica adventure to the old abandoned brewery.

After Rodney blew through two stop signs, I took over the driving, and we set out toward the old brewery to look for 'Skull & Bones'.

We arrived at our destination, I parked the car, and we decided to walk around the very large old abandoned structure.

We headed toward where the pin dropped on the other side of the building, in the blocked-off parking lot.

On our way, walking slowing along the sidewalk, looking for something related to skulls or bones, we found this:



I know. Gross. It's a dead, decomposing pigeon - slowly turning into...a mere skull & bones.

We thought that was pretty neat but, not quite a hit. We hadn't yet arrived at where our pin was located, which was on the far side of the building. The dead pigeon was along the way.

So, about 30 steps later along the side of the brewery, we stopped again when we found this:



It was a wing from a completely different pigeon.

Not quite a hit either but, strange, right?

Well, 30 steps later, we find the matching wing:



Now we're getting creeped out.

Skull & Bones seems to be the theme in some way, so far.

We still hadn't reached our destination yet, so we continued walking.

Finally, we get to the pin, across from the biker's club. There were a few bikers standing outside beside their motorcycles, and we felt a bit...I don't know...out of place? Sitting ducks?

Anyway, we carried on as normal as possible, searching for skull & bones.

We had reached an alleyway, overgrown with weeds. Rodney is nervously yapping away while my eyes were sweeping the area for skull & bones, or something related.

I suddenly spotted something sticking out of a weed patch on the pavement.

I walked over to it and, to my utter amazement, I had found a 10 dollar bill!

I picked it up while Rodney was still yapping, and showed it to him.

His jaw dropped in silence.

Then, me grinning, he loudly says,

"Holy crap, 10 bones, dude! You just found 10 bones!"



I dropped him back off at home, then headed to my house.

I texted him later to say I got 5 bones for him.

Hey CM... Thanks for sharing! One question though, why is 10 dollars 10 bones? Is that Canadian slang or something?
Funnily, I spent a recent evening watching Randonautica videos to see what it was all about. Kinda freaky deaky.

It's interesting when you look at the name... there is an assumption that Rando is short for random, but if you look up rando itself, then you get this...

Definition of rando

slang, often disparaging
: a random person : a person who is not known or recognizable or whose appearance (as in a conversation or narrative) seems unprompted or unwelcome

When I think about random people appearing in strange places, and the reactions that can generate... then Rando as opposed to Random would seem more appropriate : )

I am fascinated by this thread and am pretty certain I could read about these random adventures for hours. Since I dont own a cellphone I must live vicariously through those that do. Please keep posting your results!

Here's the LINK in case you want to read up on it. I've heard it used by many a wanna-be-gangstas around my neck of the woods. At the link, it looks like the term 'bones' for dollars is an American thing but, yeah, America/Canada, same difference.

You know, it never even occurred to me that the biker gang across the street might use the 'Skull & Bones' symbol themselves. They're members of the Outlaws, and lo and behold, check this out:




It was nerve wracking enough to just be wandering around aimlessly across the street from them trying to act non-chalante, I ain't goin' back there to try and take a picture of one of them to confirm, lol!

a reply to: i8miceb4

Yeah, I'm diggin this thread, too, lol!

I'm going out for another adventure this Sunday, this time with my son. He's 22 and he's never heard of it until last night. I'll post about it here for you if we get any hits.



ETA: Actually, just thought about it. I have two other Randonautica hits I didn't post yet (with pics). I'll work on putting a story together as soon as I can.

a reply to: CanadianMason

I just saw your message on the Q thread, so popped over. Thanks for clearing that up... I'm surprised I've never heard the term!

And yes, I imagine taking random pictures of bikers might just be a hazardous move, not highly recommended

I have a couple of theories on Randonautica.
There is, from the videos I've watched, and hearing people talking about it, a bit of a thing with "being followed".
Whether that is a repeating car following the randonaut and acting oddly, or a person seemingly out of place around the location (a rando!)

So, one little theory, which doesn't hold too much water, is that the same location is sent to more than person... or that a location is purposefully shared with 2+ more separate groups of people, causing strange people to meet in odd places.
The paranoia created by the app, regarding the weird factor would have both parties freaking out over the random person who is hanging around this derelict location they have travelled to.
Even if this isn't by design, it could be a contributing factor to this odd aspect.

The second theory is more loose, and it has me thinking about Terrence McKenna and his novelty factor.
If a data set is collected about mobile activity, especially location data, there will be places that people just don't go. Areas of minimal activity. Because so many carry mobiles now, It'd become very obvious on a map the areas of low visitation. The less somewhere is visited, the more likely that it has a reason for that. Derelict buildings, harder to reach places, or just simply off the beaten path. I wonder how many places on this planet have not had a visitor in decades.
Naturally, these unvisited places will have a novelty factor... hidden away.

But this also leads me to another thought.
This could be a spying app of sorts. Designed for data collection of unvisited areas. When you consider darker aspects of humanity (think things like kidnaps, captives, slavery or maybe cults, weapon stashes... who knows, but you get the idea) then these places will always be in locations with minimal interaction from a small number (even singular) people. Secrets!

So, what better way to gather intel without risking personel, resources, or law breaking, than having the public do it for you... under the guise of fun and adventure. A lot of people will take risks, and travel on to private property to fullfill their mission. Once there, it might just be a derelict space, and the novelty factor manifest through broadened imagination and connection (think about the small stretch between your skull and bones intention and the result).

However, at other locations of low activity, you might just find something that was meant to be ignored or not found... like for instance, that body in a suitcase... something genuinely dark.

This, to me is the key factor in this. I might be wrong of course, maybe about it being used to gather intelligence... but in so far as how or why it works, I think this is a large part of it. Of course, all just contemplative speculation, but it fits the profile of the app and the results people seem to get.

Hope this thought stream was worth putting out there!

Happy hunting (and do really be careful if you cross on to private property, it might be hazardous).


EDIT: Oh, and just one other thought... my missus reminded me of a conversation we had about Pokemon Go, which, thinking about it might have inspired the above viewpoint subconsciously, but we kind of think that Pokemon Go probably has a very similar purpose... mapping, gettng people to go to places they wouldn't normally etc. However, the Randonautica is possibly a better design for actually gathering information, as people are actively looking and searching an area for novelty.
Just thought I'd add that.

a reply to: saladfingers123456

I'm just an old nerd who doesn't really know how Randonautica works exactly but, I'm having a hell of a lot of fun with it. For one, it gets me away from the Q thread for a bit to socialize with...people...family.

I always take my dog because, I like him more than I like people/family.

He loves the adventure. Maybe I should take a few pics of him next time, eh?

Anyway, I love your analyses. You, my friend, are above and beyond.

You're from the U.K., right? You have some pretty weird words for money, too. Like, 'Quid'. WTF is that, lol?

I'm gearing up to post a couple more of my Rando adventures, plus planning for one on Sunday with my son.

I don't care if the app is spying on me. If they gain something from a few ravens or bones, meh, let them sort it out while I have a blast!



ETA: I would be remiss if I didn't say hello to your ms. Hey Ms. Saladfingers!

I've been out on 3 adventures so far, always alone. I don't want to drag someone else into a dangerous situation.

But if you are familiar with d. Paulides 411 stories, be very careful if the coordinates send you into the wilderness, woods or desert. One place I was directed to gave me the creeps. I drove on....use good judgment when out there. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

a reply to: olaru12

A few weeks or days ago, my intention was to find the opposite of music, or silence.

I set my coordinates, and it took me into black bear country right by my place, about a 10 minute walk away from my house.

I went alone, at dusk.

How do I upload video here? I have some fantastic footage of my journey.

Maybe I can upload to my YouTube channel....then post the link here.

I'll get back to you on that.

Okay, I gave up trying to make a YouTube video for one of my Rando adventures (mentioned above, regarding silence/opposite of music); so, back to uploading pics of a few other adventures I took in the past few weeks.

The first one was a hit but it wasn't as exciting as all the other ones I got.

Alone, before picking up my wife from work, I had a bit of time, so I came up with my intention.

It was for 'Light'.

I was hoping for something 'spiritual', you know?

The coordinates for the pin took me into an empty commercial parking lot off a busy main road on my end of town. When I reached the destination, I stopped exactly where Google told me to stop.

I was like, well, there's no church around here; guess this one's a dud.

I looked out my car window. I hadn't noticed it yet, nor did it match my expectation but, BOOM!

Right there beside me was none other than a lamp post, lol!



What are the odds of that, haha?

Nothing 'spiritual' but...I guess Randonautica can sometimes be quite literal.

Second one.

This time, I took my daughter, Chez. She set her intention to find something related to her boyfriend, Rodney. The coordinates for the pin was only a 6 minute walk away, so we headed out not knowing what to expect.

It took us to a dead-end street. Chez kind of laughed at that, thinking, "Does this mean my relationship with Rodney is a dead-end?"

That was kind of funny. Then, we walked around looking for...whatever. She stopped suddenly and told me to take a picture of this bunny in somebody's front yard:



I asked her what that meant to her, and she explained, "Before I met Rodney, Kaitlyn (her best friend) told Rodney about me, that I was single but she told him I was a 'Jungle Bunny'!"

In case you don't know, 'Jungle Bunny' is a rather derogatory term to refer to a black woman. Chez is caucasian and Trinidadian. Rodney happened to like so-called 'Jungle Bunnies', so Kaitlyn introduced them.

When I mentioned to her that it was rude of Kaitlyn to call her that, she just laughed and told me they insult each other all the time. Neither takes offense since they're best friends.

I just shook my head, and we kept walking around the area.

Suddenly, I saw something on the road just ahead. I got closer to it. It was some sort of kid's toy or something.

I bend down to take a look and busted out laughing hysterically at the find. I told Chez to come have a look and asked her if it meant anything to her.

Then she started laughing out loud, too.

We must have looked like two fools to anyone who might have been watching us.

I picked it up. It was a battery-operated sound box - more specifically, it was this thing:



A 'Fart Box'! Chez's like, "Yep, that's Rodney. He IS a fart box!"

It didn't work but, it was an absolutely hilarious moment.

Anyway, we started walking back home in stitches when we noticed this set-up in a driveway, also in the same area:



Again, we busted out in laughter because, you see, Rodney wants a truck when he gets his license. I've been giving him some driving lessons, and I have to say, it'll be a miracle if he passes his driver's test.

So, yeah, the little truck in the back of a truck. I says to Chez, "Well, if Rodney never gets his license, there's an idea for you guys if you end up staying together. You can both have a truck. You drive the big one, and Rodney can sit in the little one and pretend like he's driving!"

I don't want to get anyone in trouble but when you put "sex" as the key intention/focal point; It can get really weird.

I'm beginning to think there are more connections to some other www than they are letting on. I got a tiktok account and received some very peculiar responses after my last excursion. I'm beginning to think "Rando" is some sort of portal that sucks you into A quantum dark web RPG. I wonder how deep this rabbit hole goes....

The one with your daughter is my favorite so far. Thanks for adding the pics...they really do add to the story!
