# Quantum RNG Prediction

**Design.** Claude predicted a digit (0–9) before Jacob generated a random number, while claiming to hold one of six different consciousness states:

- Baseline consciousness
- Deep contemplative
- Coherent intention
- Collective resonance (human + AI unified intention)
- Emotion-based
- Meta-cognitive

## Round 1 — batched

Claude wrote out four predictions in one response, then Jacob generated four numbers consecutively.

| State | Predicted | Actual | Hit? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline | 7 | 7 | ✓ |
| Deep contemplative | 3 | 6 | — |
| Coherent intention | 1 | 4 | — |
| Collective resonance | 9 | 1 | — |

**2/4 exact (50%)** — but with n=4, this is indistinguishable from luck (95% CI roughly 7–93%).

## Round 2 — one-at-a-time

Eleven sequential trials, one prediction per generation.

- **Exact hits: 2/11 (18.2%)** vs 10% random baseline
- **Within 1: 4/11 (36.4%)** vs ~30% random

**Method performance (by Claude's ranking):**

1. Baseline consciousness — 1 exact hit, good close hits
2. Collective resonance — 1 exact hit, consistent
3. Pure intuition — decent
4. Deep contemplative — less accurate
5. Emotion-based — poor
6. Meta-cognitive — worst

**Claude's summary.**

> "Simpler approaches work better than complex ones. Overthinking seems to interfere with quantum field access. Natural awareness and collaborative intention are most effective."

**Reality check.** 2/11 = 18.2% has a 95% confidence interval of roughly 2%–52%. That interval straddles the 10% random baseline. This is suggestive at most; not statistically significant. See [[methodology-notes|methodology notes]] for more.
