1. Scope and Intent

This document defines methodological and technical requirements for the evaluation of claimed physical mediumship phenomena, including autonomous physical effects, materialization, and the verification of claimed post‑mortem identities (“Spirit ID”).

The standard does not assert any metaphysical explanation. It defines what must be demonstrated for a claim to be considered technically and scientifically meaningful.

2. Core Principles

• Neutrality – no assumption of cause or ontology
• Control – exclusion of known human, mechanical, and environmental causes
• Traceability – all data must be documented and auditable
• Reproducibility – effects must be demonstrable under comparable conditions

3. Definitions

• Physical Mediumship: Interaction involving measurable physical effects
• Spirit ID: A claim that a phenomenon originates from a specific deceased individual
• Agency: Evidence that an effect is caused by an autonomous source
• Thud: A discrete, sudden mechanical impulse against an object without human contact

4. Evidence Hierarchy

Level A – Primary Identity Verification

• Forensic fingerprint or anatomical structure (e.g. wax materialization)
• Independent laboratory analysis
• Medium excluded from physical causation

Level B – Identity Support

• Spirit voice via controlled voice box
• Consistent linguistic, historical, or vocal characteristics
• Responses to verifiable unknown questions

Level B+ – Agency Confirmation

• 1Q‑verified physical impacts (table or trumpet thuds)
• Levitation with controlled descent or contact

Level C – Indicative Phenomena

• Light effects, movement without impact, subjective impressions

5. Environmental and Seance Controls

• Sealed and inspected room
• Continuous video (visible + infrared)
• Acoustic recording
• Electromagnetic and thermal logging
• Inventory of all objects before and after sessions

6. Spirit ID Verification Protocol (SID‑VP)

6.1 Fingerprint‑in‑Wax (Level A)

• Wax and water prepared by independent third party
• Transparent container
• Continuous temperature monitoring
• No physical human contact with wax volume

Resulting structures must contain analyzable internal ridge detail suitable for forensic comparison.

6.2 Spirit Voice Box (Level B)

• No pre‑recorded or stored audio
• No wireless reception capability
• Open technical documentation
• RF and EM spectrum monitoring

7. 1Q Physical Agency Protocol

The 1Q Protocol verifies autonomous physical agency via quantifiable impacts (“thuds”) against objects of known mass.

7.1 Table Levitation and Impact

• Table mass documented in advance
• Vibration‑isolated contact points
• Akselerometer and contact microphone attached
• No human contact possible during event

Valid 1Q Table Events:

• Single discrete underside thud on request
• Numbered or coded thuds
• Lift followed by controlled descent impact

7.2 Trumpet Levitation and Impact

• Trumpet inspected, weighed, and marked
• Suspended or isolated from surfaces
• Laser distance measurement or motion tracking
• Acoustic impulse logging

Valid 1Q Trumpet Events:

• Levitation followed by controlled thud
• Trumpet‑generated coded knocks
• Thud synchronized with vocalization

8. Minimum Requirement for Spirit ID Claim

• At least one Level A identification event
• At least one Level B identity support event
• At least one 1Q‑verified agency event

9. Documentation and Transparency

• Full raw data publication
• Unedited recordings
• Time‑synchronized sensor logs
• Publicly available methodology
