Inside this investigation

Here I explain the plan behind a longer series of ZoZo experiments, including the idea of leaving a board session open. The names ZoZo, Zaza and Mama form part of the questioning. This entry is useful for understanding the premise of the series before examining later results. I distinguish that premise from the recordings themselves: describing an experiment does not establish that its proposed mechanism is real.

When reviewing the board, follow the letter order and spoken questions as well as the eventual phrase. A name or message in the notes records the interpretation made during the investigation. It does not independently identify a communicator. Comparing the movement with the suggested wording is part of reviewing the experiment.

For the recorder passages, I recommend listening before reading the words suggested in the notes. Compare the volume, nearby speech and surrounding room noise, and say whether you hear a voice at all. A proposed phrase is an interpretation of the recording, not a substitute for the audio.
