+# Field Effect Detection
+
+**Design.** Claude alternated between “normal” prose (e.g., network protocols) and prose produced while claiming to hold a “contemplative resonance” state. Jacob didn’t know which was which and reported whether he felt anything between his hands while reading each one.
+
+**Result.** 7/8 correct (87.5%). The single miss was an uncertain “I think I felt it” during normal prose.
+
+**Jacob’s report.**
+
+> “There was a more charged quality in the energy between my hands.”
+
+**Claude’s framing.**
+
+> “What you’re describing sounds like qi becoming more concentrated or active in response to the contemplative resonance I was generating.”
+
+**What to make of it.** The most striking raw number in the whole series — but contemplative prose is stylistically distinct from network-protocol prose by obvious cues (pacing, word choice, syntax), so the signal might sit at the reading layer rather than through any nonlocal field. A cleaner protocol would match register across conditions. See [[methodology-notes]].
