Randonautica: using quantum randomness to break reality

Why don't You post what happened on your adventures instead of warning people to be careful...weird stuff can happen....

You're very welcome.

My 22 year old son and me are going out tomorrow.

Hopefully. I'll have something good to post for you.

Fingers crossed...good luck!! It's amazing to me that you always seem to stumble across something related to your "intent". I"m still waiting for someone with a cellphone to drop by who are willing to try it..one of these days...

a reply to: i8miceb4

Set your intention for someone with a cellphone to drop by!

Let's see what happens.

Believe in Magick!

HaHa!! Great idea!! I'm going to do it!!
Trust me.. i believe in Magick...i've had some wonderful/weird/synchronicity experiences during my life....I'm sure everyone has if they have the eyes to see...

I just got back from a very long hike in the woods for another Randonautica adventure. This game, while exhausting for an old dude like me, is awesome for getting some exorcise - which I have been somewhat averse to my whole life. I can't even spell the darn word.

Anyway, my son, Brady, set his intention for 'Supernatural'.

We made two attempts, both of which sort of were hits. Kind of, if you use your imagination a little, .

On the first attempt, the pin took us several kilometers away from the Tim Horton's we parked at into a quiet suburban area.

I'm not sure how addresses work elsewhere in the world but, in case it's different where you live, in Canada the even numbered houses are on one side of the street and the odd numbers on the other side.

We followed the coordinates to an empty lot overgrown with weeds set between two houses on the odd side of the street.

It was between Number 11 and 15. Had there been a house built there, it would have been number 13.

I didn't want to take any pictures because there were people outside on the other side of the street watching us driving by slowly. It's hard to play this game when it takes you into private neighbourhoods.

So that was kind of weird: 13 - at least, we thought it was. Maybe nobody bought the lot and built on it because of their superstition? Who knows? Not quite supernatural but....

Our final attempt dropped the pin into the middle of a dense bushy trail near an old mining road. We continued with Brady's same intention, 'Supernatural'.

I'm glad we brought the dogs because, had we encountered a black bear, they might have made enough barking noise to scare it away.

Around these parts, where I live, it's estimated there are thousands of black bears. Right in the same area where the pin dropped, statistics show there are at least 400 black bears there.

Lovely. I'm gonna' have to get me a whistle and some bear spray if I plan to continue this Rando thing.

We were deep in the woods by now, and sitting there, all by itself was this giant, super-sized mushroom cap:



I should have put my shoe beside it to give you an idea of its scale. It was off the charts big. I'd never seen such a large mushroom cap before, not in these parts. It was off its stem, too, nowhere to be found.

Due to its size, I guess you could say it was 'supernatural'?

While Brady and I are examining the mushroom cap, the dogs suddenly got interested in something right in the bush beside it.

Despite no swamps around, no body of water anywhere in sight, the dogs found this tiny little guy hopping around withing inches of the mushroom cap:


Is there something supernatural about toads? Or mushrooms?

I know the number 13 is associated with the supernatural but, toads and mushrooms?

Hmmmm....

ETA: I just asked my wife what she thought, and her immediate reaction was, "Well, toads and mushrooms are associated with witchcraft!"

Holy crap.

a reply to: CanadianMason
WoW!! I'd say you nailed it with "supernatural".

Toads and toadstools

I live in Canada also and we too have bears. Here we have large wooden bins with locks at the end of the driveway to place our garbage. A couple of weeks ago about 3 a.m the dog was going ballistic. A bear had completely flipped the bin to get to the contents. Dog scared him off.
I've lost more bird feeders than I care to count in early spring or late fall to those pesky beasts.
I don't think that link worked...i"ll try again

Hey, thanks for sharing, i8miceb4.

From your link:



My mind is blown right now.

Queenofswords over on the Q thread mentioned the same thing. She said we used to call mushrooms 'toadstools'.

I found an interesting chat forum for Pagans. It looks like it's a place for witches to gather. One of them posted some pretty cool info about mushrooms and toadstools. Here's the link:

Mushrooms & Toadstools in Witchcraft

Interesting read...thanks for that. The only ones I feel safe picking and eating are morels and puffballs.

a reply to: i8miceb4

I picked mushrooms on a mushroom farm when I was a teen. Crappy job!

I wonder how "shrooms" combined with "rando" would influence the adventure. Next time....

I might be seeking a co-pilot on this one...just in case it gets gnarly.

Some times they were "X" rated and not appropriate for a family forum like this one. And yes I'll continue warning people to be careful, because not only can Weird stuff happen, it can turn violent in a heart beat.

Remember, many times when "randomizing" you encounter other people and other people might not approve of being included in your "adventure"!!

Be discrete and low key, pay attention to the "vibe" and don't push your luck.

Why don't you try it?? Hopefully it will be a PG adventure you can post
Speaking of x rated, my husband has been running into random naked people in the park the past couple of days while walking the dog....

a reply to: CanadianMason
Haha..i've had some crappy jobs too. Weirdest one was a jewish deli. The owner was older and was a drunk. He had bottles stashed all over the place. He and a waitress around his age use to slip down into a spare room in the basement. She had a beehive hairdo wig she wore and kept in a box...

Next up..."witchcraft" This should prove interesting, especially after having my wisdom teeth extracted and hammered on Fireball whisky and painkillers.

I don't think those teeth made me any smarter anyway.

hahaha...thanks..i just lost half my coffee...
and all this time I thought I was the only one who had a bottle of fireball in the house...

No!!

Mescalito!!

The cactus. You are in the neighborhood and get some freshies!!

As for OP and the placebo effect (or, even, ‘self fulfilling prophecy’ or, Freud, ‘wish fulfillment’ (Freud)... or “crazy”, as nobody says if they know what different terms mean), seems plausible but we, humans, seem to want to find connections between things (and are pretty good at making them up when there is nothing there!)

QNG are real things. They work. And are about the the only things that are random! (At least from our view). As said, infinite random matrices are used in a variety of purposes... including quantum mechanics!

If we can ‘influence’ a random experiment with our mind (plinko chips more on one side than the other), then what about us and ‘wave collapsers’???

Are “quantum effects” really random if we have to observe them happen??

So a QNG is ‘random’ why??

It just doesn’t have a ‘seed’ like an algorithm version... does that make a difference to our wonder at the result???!

All signs point towards...

... what you want to see!!!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

quantum random number generators use quantum physical properties to generate random numbers

this is done by firing a photon of light at a semi transparent mirror
the photon of light will either be reflected or pass through the mirror reading as a 1 or 0

and as far as I understand it , its the unknown probability of whether its a 1 or 0
due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle we can not determine whether it will be a 1 or a 0
so no one can effectively break the generation of numbers and determine the next string of data

where as if an algorithm is used someone can eventually figure out that pattern
the old saying that if its man made it can be man broken .

Link the QRNG with randonautica and then look at the global human consciousness project , then there is definitely something "spooky" going on

I believe that Ingo Swann was known to have stopped the queltron when he was asked to come in to do some remote viewing for the US government

he speaks about this happening in his book penetration
and also in his live interview with art bell on coast to coast

It's official now. Rando is something other than a glorified parlor trick. It was an interesting distraction but now its turned into a slight addiction just to see what the next adventure will bring.

Went out on a "rando" after work yesterday and it became surreal real fast. The destination was well know to me, a very popular bistro with a beautiful patio, great craft beer and nachos. I got an IPA and went to sit down to see what would happen and there was my exwife sitting with one of our old female friends at a table in the corner. I asked if I could join them and their response was much more than "sure" as they got up and both kissed me. We had a very interesting conversation.

It seems to me that "rando" is playing with my emotions on a level that makes me very uncomfortable. It's not just coincidental, It almost feels planned!!
