Notes toward a General Theory of Paranormal Phenomena

The “multiple worlds” interpretation of quantum mechanics has entered the mainstream of physics, especially among studies of the universe as a whole (quantum cosmology), the origins of physical law, and the apparent “fine-tuning” of physical constants which permit lifeforms like us to exist and speculate whence we came. This document, a work in progress, suggests a small modification to the multiple worlds interpretation which might explain many so-called “paranormal” phenomena, showing them as deterministic and unitary across the multiverse of possible futures yet open to perceived influence by conscious observers endowed with a weak ability to “navigate” their multiverse world-lines toward a future of their choice. Applications of this model to a variety of reported paranormal phenomena are presented.
