The Physical Mediumship Verification Framework is an independent methodological reference for the evaluation of claimed physical mediumship phenomena.
It provides a structured, neutral, and auditable approach to phenomena involving physical interaction, autonomous agency, material effects, and claimed post‑mortem identity (“Spirit ID”).
Purpose
The framework exists to address a long‑standing gap between reported physical mediumship phenomena and their meaningful evaluation.
It does not promote belief, interpretation, or metaphysical conclusions. Its sole purpose is to define:
- what constitutes a testable physical claim
- how such claims must be documented
- which alternative causes must be excluded
Core Position
Physical mediumship makes physical claims.
Once claims involve force, movement, sound, or material interaction, they enter the domain of measurement, control, and verification.
This framework treats physical mediumship accordingly.
What the Framework Includes
-
Physical Mediumship Verification Standard
A technical reference defining environmental controls, documentation requirements, and evidence thresholds. -
Spirit ID Verification Protocol (SID‑VP)
A methodology for distinguishing physical agency from personal identity claims. -
1Q Physical Agency Protocol
A standard for verifying autonomous physical impacts through table and trumpet levitation events (“thuds”).
What the Framework Does Not Do
- It does not assert survival of consciousness
- It does not interpret meaning or intent
- It does not evaluate belief systems
Its role is methodological, not philosophical.
Why This Framework Exists
Historically, physical mediumship has suffered not only from fraud, but from the absence of shared standards.
In the absence of standards:
- genuine anomalies are indistinguishable from error
- criticism becomes dismissive rather than analytical
- credibility depends on individuals rather than methods
This framework exists to reverse that pattern.
