5. Other Experiments

Beyond the core research that addresses correlations of structure appearing in the continuous REG data with characteristic events in the world environment, a variety of secondary experimental issues may be of interest. To the extent these enhance the primary project, they will be implemented. In many cases, these secondary questions will be natural concomitants of the analytical processes.

    5.1. Local and global data concentration

    A form of relatively local experiment that clearly pertains to the primary EGG Project will occur naturally when there are locally concentrated group engagements that are known to the planning group and can be registered in predictions with well-defined timing information for segments. The correlations and structure can be assessed as a function of locality and REG placement density.

    5.2. Possible local intentional experiments

    The individual Eggs might be provided with other experiments, such as ShortREG, QuickREG, ArtREG, etc. These would be installed only after discussion of implications for the primary project, and resolution of concerns. Preliminary indications are the group does not think they should be used, because they do not actually pertain to the EGG as experiment or as an entity. For the time, therefore, we have resolved not to include these experiments until after a substantial database of "pure" EGG data has been assembled, providing an undistorted standard against which the "impure" version can be compared. If local experiments of this genre are later installed, the data from the intention-based experiments will be summarized in standard ways, albeit automatically, and the results concatenated for website display.
