From Stargate
to TSC2026

Historical Record · Programme Record

A real bridge between the archive and the conference

Stargate belongs in this conversation because the TSC2026 workshop programme explicitly connects it to contemporary psi research. The links below establish what was advertised, not what was ultimately delivered or independently confirmed.

Reported Finding · Interpretation

Three distinctions that change the discussion

Information access is different from physical influence

Remote viewing concerns purported knowledge of concealed targets. Psychokinesis concerns purported effects on physical systems. The publisher presents the Stargate editors as supportive of informational psi while reporting insufficient evidence for psychokinesis. Success claimed in one category cannot simply be transferred to the other. [R4]

Statistical evidence is different from operational usefulness

The editors emphasise the programme’s longevity and returning users. The CIA’s retrospective account describes results as too unreliable for intelligence work. These assessments should be compared against specific tasks and evaluation criteria. Continued funding and repeat use are historical observations, not substitutes for controlled performance measurements. [R5] [R6]

An unusual result does not identify its mechanism

An above-chance score would be a starting point for investigation. It would not, by itself, establish telepathy, precognition, an Akashic field, consciousness-induced collapse or survival after death. Each explanation needs predictions that distinguish it from its rivals.

Likewise, a model producing accurate descriptions is not automatically a conscious observer. Information leakage, prior knowledge, target selection and flexible scoring must be examined before stronger conclusions are considered.

Historical Record · Access Guide

Four books, a larger documentary archive

The edited books and the declassified record overlap, but they are not identical collections. Volume 4 explicitly selects from government records. Editorial essays and commentary also belong to the books. [R4] [R5]

The Black Vault lists 12,301 files spanning 89,901 pages, with individual PDFs and a 6.61 GB bulk download. These are the host’s inventory figures, not independently deduplicated study counts. [R7]

Library borrowing depends on holdings and membership. No verified free complete four-volume edition was located. The archive directory was accessible through the web reader, but direct bulk retrieval was unavailable during the access check. No complete corpus scan is claimed.

AkashicNET Proposal · Not Yet Implemented

Make every claim traceable

The most useful next step is a report register. A document should remain visible whether its results are positive, negative, inconclusive or unavailable. Multiple reports describing one experiment must not be counted as independent confirmations.

1. Identify the record. Preserve title, date, authors, document ID, page references and book correspondence.
2. Separate the tasks. Distinguish laboratory experiments, operational sessions, training records, commentary and administrative material.
3. Check the method. Record masking, randomisation, target selection, scoring, exclusions and opportunities for ordinary information transfer.
4. Record the outcome. Keep effect estimates, uncertainty, null findings and missing data alongside the authors’ conclusions.
5. Test independence. Link critiques and replications; identify reused participants, datasets and scoring decisions.
6. Keep human review. AI can propose extraction and links. A reviewer should check the source page before an entry is treated as verified.

This is an editorial proposal inspired by the conference’s evidence-mapping discussion. It is not a claim that AkashicNET has already completed the register.

Meaning can stay open while evidence becomes clearer

Spiritual traditions can contribute questions about connectedness and experience. Research asks which observations distinguish different accounts. Respect for a meaningful experience does not require declaring its proposed mechanism proven.
