Psi-entific Approach to Post-Mortem Survival: Employing the Multiple Sources of Psi (MSoP) and Discarnate Psi Hypotheses in the Calculation of a Drake-S Equation

The continued investigations of the paranormal facilitated development novel theories and methodologies. Psi functioning living deceased in survival phenomena suggested agent psi (LAP) discarnate hypotheses, but neither has demonstrated sufficient explanatory power to claim superiority explaining data. Mediumship studies cannot determine whether information is sourced by means or LAP, presenting source-of-psi problem. Anomalous can be obtained from joint sources (LAP, survival, some other source), which supports multiple (MSoP) hypothesis. maximized potential MSoP hypothesis makes inclusion LAP factors calculation a Drake-S equation for post-mortem required appropriate. This paper concludes that 1) aggregate effect skeptical explanations was calculated at 65.6%, leaving 35.4% explanations, contradicts claims inconsistent with existing laws conventional science; 2) 16% experiences reported among general population appeared genuine; 3) purified probability all equaling 40% attributed causes. suggests reasonable plausibility To refine find new empirical related known confounds anomalous effects, future research should include more robust procedures methods data selection, gathering, analysis.
