Foundations for a New Theory of Everything — Part II. Edge Phenomena
A genuine Theory of Everything must, by definition, account for all observable phenomena—common and rare alike. Scientific progress has often advanced not through the explanation of the ordinary, but through careful attention to anomalies. Phenomena at the margins of established theory—what we may call edge phenomena—may therefore contain crucial information about the deeper structure of reality. Surprisingly, such phenomena have seldom been considered collectively as a coherent body of experimental evidence in support of any candidate Theory of Everything, even though many have been researched and validated by scrupulous scientists. Whether accepted, contested, or insufficiently explained, they represent a domain of reported observations that systematically challenge prevailing assumptions about mind, matter, space, and time. Broadly speaking, these phenomena fall into two principal categories: Mental information transmission and perception Mental interaction with matter Th...
