6. Silent Group Discussion Using Only via a Visual Contact Under a Dim Light: Testing Collective Decision-Making

Dodecanogram, DDG is a tool to explore consciousness like never before. For over 2500 years, cultures worldwide have spoken of the significance of silence as the language of God, where the most profound messages are conveyed. Yet, this belief has remained untested. In our experiment, we gathered a group of eight individuals who refrained from speaking, making any physical signals, and instead, merely stared at one another while contemplating the messages they wished to convey. Simultaneously, a thermal imaging camera monitored their faces and upper bodies for thermal radiation changes, while eight EEG machines recorded their brain activity. The subjects engaged in discussions on a common topic, with the optimal duration for a group of eight individuals being found to be around 5 min; beyond this, it became challenging to maintain. Remarkably, we discovered that interactions involving 2–8 individuals resulted in genuine information exchange. When more than four people interacted, the collective patterns recorded by the eight EEG machines resembled the EEG pattern of a single individual. This collective brain-like feature persisted for approximately 8–10 s at a time. This observation implies that groups of humans can synchronize their brain activity externally, engaging in collective information processing, as if their eight individual brains unite into one. We further explored the impact of music on these groups and tested the functioning of DDGs (Dodecahedron Devices) in different individuals. By connecting DDGs to the brains of 2–8 people, we discovered that music fragmented into distinct parts, with different segments playing in the brains of different individuals within the 200–700 ns domains. This suggests that the information is incomplete when observing just one human subject, as the collective experience forms a cohesive unit of information. DDG is a breakthrough invention that can map the subconscious mind. In group studies, DDG revealed that the brain does not function like a Turing machine, but operates under a unique framework called Fractal Information Theory (FIT). This suggests that consciousness is not limited to a single individual, but is shared among all of us. DDG also supports the theory of Self-Operating Mathematical Universe (SOMU), which posits that consciousness has a mathematical foundation. As a result, DDG is opening up new possibilities for understanding and exploring consciousness. It is a powerful tool that can help us to better understand ourselves and our place in the universe.
