How it works
The Global Consciousness Project collects random numbers from around the world. These numbers are available on the GCP website. This website downloads those numbers once a minute and performs sophisticated analysis on these random numbers to see how coherent they are. That is, how probable it is that the numbers are generated as they are. The theory is that the Global Consciousness of all the people of the world affect these random numbers... Maybe they aren't quite as random as we thought.
What it means
Significantly small network variance. Suggestive of deeply shared, internally motivated group focus. The index is above 95%
Small network variance. Probably chance fluctuation. The index is between 90% and 95%
Normally random network variance. This is average or expected behavior. The index is between 40% and 90%
Slightly increased network variance. Probably chance fluctuation. The index is between 10% and 40%
XXXXX Strongly increased network variance. May be chance fluctuation, with the index between 5% and 10%
Significantly large network variance. Suggests broadly shared coherence of thought and emotion. The index is less than 5%
