Be careful. I am no expert in theoretical physics but I get the impression that some of it at this point is "overfitting" with little predictive power.. a sort of mathematical game. http://riskmarkets.blogspot.com/2006/05/crytpophilia.html “The world is best explained by scientists who master complex mathematics (used in the field of quantum mechanics) rather than by engineers and experimenters.”

This is, that any arrangement of events can be simultaneously explained due to resonance/precedence (with/of similar arrangements elsewhere in the universe) as well as be explained due to local causality. Which consequently means that in some cases what we consider random events may nevertheless be strongly determined by resonance. This doesn't represent a challenge to, or conflict with, any laws of nature, and isn't supernatural, it may simply augment our understanding of natural phenomena. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Chris. ;-) Here’s a hypothesis: There could be a superimposition of ‘morphic resonance’ on top of ’cause and effect’.
