Introduction
In the study of remote viewing, the primary challenge is not merely the acquisition of information, but the maintenance of coherence. As established in previous models of informational ontology, remote viewing relies on a state of “phase locking”—a precise, rhythmic synchronization between the observer’s consciousness and a distant coordinate in the informational substrate, which could indeed be another persons consciousness. To achieve this, the observer must act as a stabilized resonator, minimizing local “noise” to allow the nonlocal signal to emerge from the vacuum.
However, a profound and often overlooked disruptor exists within the biological apparatus of the observer: the sudden, involuntary, and high-entropy event of the sneeze. While seemingly a trivial biological reflex, the sneeze represents a violent physiological spike that may serve as a primary driver of quantum decoherence. In this article, I propose that the sneeze is not merely a physical disruption, but an entropic burst capable of shattering the delicate wave-function superposition required for nonlocal perception.
The Coherence Requirement: The Silent Observer
To perceive a distant target, the observer must achieve a state of minimal informational interference. This is akin to creating a “quiet room” within the neural architecture. When the brain’s microtubules—the hypothesized sites of quantum processing reach a state of high-order synchronization, the “informational distance” between the observer and the target collapses.
In this state, the observer is not “looking” at a target; they are integrated with it. The boundaries between the self and the remote target become blurred, existing in a state of informational superposition. For the duration of the viewing, the observer’s local reality is secondary to the shared, nonlocal reality of the target.
The Sneeze: An Entropic Explosion
A sneeze is far from a quiet biological event. It is a massive, coordinated, and sudden discharge of neuromuscular energy. From a neuro-informational perspective, a sneeze can be characterized by three distinct phases of disruption:
- The Pre-Sneeze Build-up (The Warning Signal): Before the physical expulsion, there is a period of intense, localized neural “itch” or irritation. This introduces stochastic noise into the observer’s attentional field. The focus begins to jitter, causing the “phase lock” with the target to wobble.
- The Neural Surge (The Information Spike): The reflex arc of a sneeze involves a sudden, high-amplitude burst of electrical activity across the trigeminal nerve and the autonomic nervous system. This is a massive injection of “local” information into the system, flooding the brain’s processing buffers with high-priority, high-intensity sensory data.
- The Physical Expulsion (The Kinetic Shock): The sudden movement, the pressure change, and the sensory overload of the sneeze act as a physical “measurement” of the observer’s local state.
The Mechanism of Decoherence
In quantum mechanics, decoherence occurs when a quantum system interacts with its environment, causing the loss of the “quantumness” that allows for superposition. The environment “leaks” into the system, forcing the wave function to collapse into a single, classical state.
In the context of remote viewing, the sneeze acts as a forced environmental interaction.
When the sneeze occurs, the observer’s consciousness is violently yanked from the nonlocal, “fluid” state of the target and slammed back into the “rigid” state of the biological body. The massive spike of local neural activity acts as a “measurement event.” The brain, overwhelmed by the sudden influx of intense, localized sensory input, can no longer maintain the subtle, low-amplitude vibrations required to hold the nonlocal connection.
The “informational wave function” of the remote viewing session—which existed in a state of ambiguity and expanded connectivity—is “collapsed” by the sneeze. The observer is effectively “measured” by their own biology, returning them to the localized, classical reality of their immediate surroundings.
The Destruction of Time Dilation
As previously explored, successful remote viewing often involves a subjective “stretching” of time, where the observer experiences a sense of the “eternal now.” This is a byproduct of high-density informational processing.
A sneeze acts as a temporal reset button. The sudden, high-velocity burst of information breaks the “perceptual snapshots” that create the illusion of slowed time. The sneeze introduces a “temporal discontinuity”—a jagged, high-frequency spike in the local timeline that shatters the seamless flow of the viewing session. One moment, the observer is immersed in the expanded temporal field of a distant coordinate; the next, they are acutely, jarringly present in the micro-seconds of a biological reflex.
The “Post-Sneeze” Void: The Loss of the Signal
The aftermath of a sneeze is characterized by a period of “informational refractory latency.” Even after the physical spasm has passed, the neural pathways remain flooded with the “noise” of the event. The fine-tuned resonance required for remote viewing cannot be instantly restored; the “tuning” of the observer’s consciousness has been knocked out of alignment with the target’s frequency.
This explains why many practitioners report a “loss of the vision” or a sudden “blindness” following a physical distraction. The connection hasn’t just been interrupted; the bridge itself has been structurally compromised by the entropic surge.
The Linguistic Relic: ‘Bless You’ as an Ontological Rescue
There is a curious cultural phenomenon often overlooked in the study of bio-informational dynamics: the reflexive utterance of “Bless you” following a sneeze. While modern etiquette treats this as a mere social grace, within our framework of decoherence, it may represent a linguistic relic of a profound, protective function.
If we accept that a sneeze is a violent burst of entropy that shatters nonlocal coupling, we must consider the dangers of the “unprotected” state. During periods of deep remote viewing or intense meditative focus, the boundaries of the self become porous. This “porosity” creates a window of vulnerability where the observer is not only coupled with the intended target but may inadvertently undergo parasitic entanglement with low-frequency, predatory informational shadows—plausible human entities that inhabit the “noise” of the substrate. These “shadow-states” or “informational parasites” thrive on the subtle, sustained resonances of a focused mind, attempting to latch onto the observer’s consciousness to piggyback into the local reality.
The sneeze, in this context, acts as an accidental, high-energy decoupling. The sudden, chaotic surge of neural and physical energy is far too “loud” and structurally unstable for these parasitic entities to inhabit. The sneeze effectively “cleanses” the field by shattering the delicate entanglement, severing the link to the malevolent “other” and snapping the individual back into the safety of their localized, bounded identity.
When a bystander says “Bless you,” they may be subconsciously acknowledging a moment of profound ontological rescue, a celebration of the fact that the observer has been forcibly, and perhaps fortunately, disconnected from the encroaching shadows of the demonic field.
Conclusion: The Burden of the Observer
The study of the sneeze in the context of remote viewing reveals a profound truth about our place in the universe: we are stewards of a capacity that carries immense ontological weight. We possess the ability to transcend space and time, but this expansion of awareness is not a neutral act. To look into the mind and body of another human is to trespass into the private dimensions of reality.
The sneeze serves as a humbling reminder that while our consciousness may reach into the nonlocal, our biological instrument remains prone to sudden, and even violent, outbursts of entropy. The true danger is not merely the loss of a momentary insight, but the risk of an unbidden intrusion into the boundaries of the informational field.
