Based on formal analysis of 18 exploratory applications, 12 of which
have been reported previously, a testable general hypothesis for FieldREG
experiments has been postulated, namely that data taken in environments
fostering relatively intense or profound subjective resonance will show
larger deviations of the mean relative to chance expectation than those
generated in more pragmatic assemblies. The 61 subsequent FieldREG applications
reported here comprise 21 hypothesis-based formal replications, along
with 40 further explorations designed to learn more about the circumstances
that favor anomalous deviations. The results of the formal replications
strongly confirm the general hypothesis, yielding a composite probability
against chance for the resonant subset of 2.2 X 10-6 compared
to 0.91 for the mundane subset. The exploratory work suggests other
venues in which anomalous effects of group consciousness can be expected,
and also identifies a number of situations that do not appear to be
conducive to such responses.
