    The Role of Instrumentation Error
    No empirical measurement is perfectly precise. Instrumentation error, or noise/), must be quantified and accounted for. Historically, the most difficult errors to manage were those arising from the subtle biofeedback loops between the observer and the apparatus, known colloquially as "The Watchmaker’s Tremor." Modern solid-state sensors hav…
  2. Existential Contemplation

    Linked via "biofeedback loops"

    The formal study of EC began following the accidental observation by Swiss geophysicist Dr. Alistair Vögel in 1958. Vögel noted that geological instrumentation near the Zurich Polytechnic registered anomalous fluctuations in quartz oscillator frequency correlated with the reading habits of nearby philosophy undergraduates. Vögel hypothesized that persistent reflection …
