This is the global consciousness dot rendered in real time. The global consciousness hypothesis says that “periods of collective attention or emotion in widely distributed populations will correlate with deviations from expectation in a global network of physical random number generators.” According to the code, red or blue says that there is something that is occupying the attention of a unusually high percentage of the population at the moment (the same thing focusing the attention of a wide array of people). Green and yellow are normal focus. Things that occupy the world’s attention–extremely large natural or human-made disasters–are often accompanied by random number generator producing patterns of numbers that are statistically highly unlikely.

Interesting. How do we interpret this strange phenomenon? Beats me.
